Is this a mid-life crisis?
What is a man in his 40's with IBS trying to prove by training on a seafood diet?
Here is how Nigel describes his story:
I am a busy family man with a wife, two dogs, a cat and 7 children. In 2015, I booked a series of running events including, marathons, ultra-marathons and other tough fitness challenges to help me test my new seafood diet. As I juggled my training for these events, with my full time job and family life commitments, I tried to keep a positive and humorous approach to dealing with my IBS.
I’ve been a half vegetarian before, lost weight and improved my fitness levels, therefore I was confident about the dietary changes I was undertaking. I also wanted to lose weight for my upcoming races, but I needed to make sure that I was getting the protein and other nutrients needed in my diet without eating meat. This is not a recipe book, but I have added some recipes that I tried and tested during this training regime at the end of the book for you to try if you like fish!
An excerpt from my book:
"Breakfast was granola with milk – big mistake! I set off today with the intention of just doing some mileage with no time pressures. I need to get my body used to the extra distance. I had an idea of where I was going courtesy of Google maps. I live in a little village called Abercrave, it’s literally at the bottom of the Black Mountains in Wales. The route would take me along a single carriage way towards Brecon for a few miles then up to a cycle route, it’s tarmac and basically in the countryside with trees and fields either side. My intention was to run this route then make my way out into the suburbs of and back along a footpath near a main road leading home. Basically a circular route. I do loathe doubling back on myself, so my runs are almost always A to B. As I neared the end of the idyllic country route my stomach was cramping. The milk I had this morning was churning around my stomach like a washing machine. I never go anywhere without emergency toilet roll and I was thinking I may need to use it. The pain wasn’t easing so I had to make a decision. Do I continue into the suburbs, where it’s mostly houses and no emergency toilet bushes. Or do I go back the route I had just come in case I needed to jump a fence and go empty the the washing machine?''
