Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

CONTENT:
(1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.

For my independent component I would like to train someone else to run a marathon but include a diet portion. While working on my first component I didn't use a diet plan. I can then compare my progress with my subjects progress and see whether or not diet is a viable answer to my essential question. I will train the person up until the project is due, but since it is not a sufficient amount of time to train properly they will probably not complete a formal race. 

(2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.

I will need to do plenty of additional research on diet and different types of diets. I will have to teach my runner how to adapt each diet, as well as personally train them. I will make them a diet plan and a schedule. And they will keep track of both in a journal. 

(3) How does your independent study component relate your eq?

My eq is, what is key to completing a marathon. Personally I feel diet is very controversial in the running world. But I want to find out whether or not it is important, and if it does make a difference. It can help me come to a possible answer or stray from a not so good answer.
