Training and PBJ

I was off my running game this morning. For some reason, I’ve been feeling sluggish this week. I’m training for a half-marathon in November, so I’ve got to get my butt in gear.

Before my AM run, I whipped up some oats for breakfast.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Oats

PB&J Oats

1/2 cup oats

3/4 cup water (I like dryer oats)

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 Tbsp peanut butter

1 Tbsp jelly

1 tsp honey

Mix water and oats in a microwavable bowl

Mix in vanilla and cinnamon

Microwave for 2 minutes, then add peanut butter, jelly and honey

Combine and enjoy!

I think oatmeal is the ideal breakfast food, especially for runners. Wholesome and filling.

Question: What training schedule do you use to prepare for runs like half marathons?
