Right lads i start basic in a 3 months going for Paras so ive made a fitness and diet plan that i want to keep to untill i start. So basicly anyone who knows about all this, is it what ive thought up any good, as in right amount of exercise and sufficient amount of food eaten? Right:

Monday:
+Breakfast- Bran flakes, Bananna.
+Fartlek run
+Recovery meal- Beans on wholemeal toast
+Weights and max pull ups, pressups, situps
+Lunch- Chicken, brown rice, jacket potato and bananna OR chicken pasta
+45 Min swim with light jog there (0.7miles) and back
+Recovery snack- Brank flakes
+3 mile run
+Dinner- Chicken, veg, potato, beans

Tuesday:
+Same breakfast
+8 mile jog
+Same recovery meal
+Weights
+Lunch- same as monday
+Dinner- same as above
+Snack- Brankflakes

Wednesday:
REST
Quick swim ?

Thursday:
Repeat monday

Friday:
Repeat tuesday

Saturday or Sunday:
4 mile run and weights

There lol. Also On rest days would going for a light swim prevent my body from recovering or is it all right.
Thanks lads.
 
haha my girlfriends dad told me that there good for staying healthy, but i do have to say they dont look to apealing lol.
 
About your Mondays : Doing those two runs in one day (especially when one is a fartlek session) is crying out for injury, like shin splints, to happen. Drop the 3 mile run later in the day, and focus on a decent Fartlek session.
Other than that, looks like a decent plan.
But yeah, you may want to occasionally swap the Bran flakes!

Do you actually have a life/job?
 
^To be fair he's not really allocating more than 1-2hours a day to training. So it's quite possibly he has a) a life, b) a job.
