Confessions of a Pro Marathon Runner's Diet: The Raw and Unfiltered Truth

[@martinthompson3762]

17 miles in 1:29 on easy long run! Ah I see the watch 1:59 😅

[@PhilyBowden]

Ahaha oh dear.. that’s a fatal typo there, you’re quite right - 2 HOURS PEOPLE 😂

[@themiddlebro111]

I blame Phily for that one!

[@PoetWithPace]

well spotted Martin LOL

[@claritadjm]

she just made a mistake when putting the time on the screen as her pace per km is right, at 4:21min/km her time is 1:59. If she was to pretend she was faster she would of also changed her pace to 3:20min/km.

[@hamba1998]

I love these sorts of videos, thank you for the insight Phily! I just wanted to say that when it comes to carb intake during exercise, it's believed to be independent of weight, so no matter how much you weigh you'd get the same recommendation (probably about 60-90g/h for your marathon time). Regular daily intake is dependent on weight, just not during exercise.

[@tiffanyr.l.peters4226]

So far loving this channel. All of the other running channels I follow are headed up by men, which is great! They do some fabulous videos. It's just nice as a female athlete to hear a woman's perspective! Your husband is adorable btw!

[@GTE_Channel]

Indeed the 'anabolic window' after working out is actually about carbs and not protein. But only if you have a high daily training load. Mortals dont need to do this if you don't have a training scheduled the same or next day.

[@imogennnb]

More of this content please!! Very helpful❤❤

[@Grums]

So I have been blending my own smoothie several times a week for probably almost 15 years. If Daniel starts a cooking channel I'll start a blender channel. Anyway. I went through blenders yearly in the beginning, but I bought a WILFA PF-1200S probably 10 years ago and it's still going strong and as a bonus you can make soup with it.

[@Chav_naylor]

Tried a lot of sports nutrition brands and the OTE stuff is so good, sits well on the stomach and tastes really nice. Glad to see you’re using it now and thanks for the code :)

I'm not sure if it is available in the UK, but I'd consider getting the Ninja Profesional Plus blender. I've had one for two years and it's the best! Props to Daniel for the chicken burgers 👏🏿

We know that saturated stuck bra feels-got myself super tanged the other day but I had no help…dinosaur for several minutes 🤣 The PB & honey in oats was a recent revelation for me thanks to Stephen Scullion…SO good, & works SO well too!! Something I have to work on is getting in some more carbs, as I’m probably not getting enough. I certainly notice it when I get a decent amount in-but having some fuelling issues atm so I’m looking into a sports dietitian. Awesome vid!! U have given me lots of ideas!!

Love the video really did was wondering could you do one for a plan for eating a week before a 10 km say for instance doing your first 10K and what to eat I would definitely share it with my running group also if you are ever in Glasgow it would be amazing for you to come down to the Knights retires at knightswood running track and see hello and get on our KZbin channel and give everyone some of your great advice we are on Facebook underneath retirees thanks again if you can get a video of anytime soon with nutrition for your first 10 km run and what to eat on the week leading up to it

your tea mug is the same as Seth DeMoor's coffee mug! Wow, I watch too much running content!

[@tonyeaster6861]

I also have porridge 90% of the time (well, for breakfasts 😂) - but after experimenting for some variety & finding many combos that were 🤢I recently settled on adding cinnamon & some ginger paste before the microwave stage - after that I'll add a handful of raisins & it kind of creates a Christmas Pudding vibe - I then add a chopped banana for more carbs, with a handful of pumpkin seeds & a good sprinkle of chia seeds for a bit of crunch & some protein.

[@BassStevie]

I have the same blender as a professional marathoner! I guess that makes me a professional marathoner by association? I think it’s fine, but not as good as a nutribullet.

[@hurricane7800]

I absolutely feel the struggles as I sit here watching this, not wanting to eat my post-run eggs and toast. That, and the fact I have already overloaded and ruined a decent blender and regularly abuse the cheap one I have now. If anyone has a second 2000€ blender lying around, I'll take it 😆

Why don't you just get a Nutribullet? I'm sure you could get them in the UK.

[@hannahalexander1339]

Do you have any tips for fuels when you have to do sessions before work? Also would be really interested to see your total carbs in a day!

[@laurencharltonn]

If you mean an early morning session - we have these for practice at college due to the heat. I recommend having a good dinner and then a carb heavy snack before bed. Then in the morning, I like toast with PB, banana and honey before easy runs, or swap the toast for a toaster waffle for workouts. In the UK, Soreen are good too! Or a granola bar (not protein bar!). If you really can’t stomach food, then a sports drink (with carbs) or a smoothie?

[@PoetWithPace]

Thumbnail photoshopped abs?

[@laurencharltonn]

Something I’ve got wrong in the past and would appreciate some guidance on is that I would have my carb/calorie dense dinners to day of a hard sessions/long run thinking I needed them then because I had used a lot of energy, and because the days before these were usually easy days I would go lighter on the evening meal before? Should I instead be having the bigger/carb-ier meal on the night before and it’s okay to have less the evening of the workout (ie after it?)??

[@richardmiddleton7770]

It doesn't really matter which way round you 'carb load'. You have to figure out what works for you. Some people replenish quicker than others and some people have bigger carb reserves than others. For me I prefer to go carb heavy the day before and immediately after the workout depending how intense or long it was.

[@laurencharltonn]

@@richardmiddleton7770 Ok thank you! I’ll have a play around and see what works for me!

[@derek_spear]

Have you ever tries fasted runs to promote using lipids (fat) as fuel? I do my long runs without fueling, only using water to hydrate. However I do most of my long runs off road and in the mountains and can be out for 3 - 4 hours, so I am pretty depleted carbohydrate wise at the end of my run. I'm training for my first ultra in July and will fuel on the day, I have to work the plan out for that still.

[@richardmiddleton7770]

This can be a good diet for a beginner runner or first marathon but part of training is training the body to use fat for fuel and preserve carb stores. As a marathon is at least 2.5hrs, it is an aerobic effort using mostly fat for fuel IF you have trained that way. If you ALWAYS fuel with carbs you will ALWAYS need carbs. Most of the fatigue felt during running is muscular fatigue and NOT lack of fuel. On your next long run, see how far you can run without breakfast or consuming any carbs during the run. At first it will seem hard but it will be purely psychological but keep trying fasted runs and you'll be amazed how far you can get. Just don't test this out leading upto a race until you're used to it.

[@PhilyBowden]

Thanks for the unsolicited advice. I work with some of the best physiologists and nutritionists in the sports endurance space. You are quite right, if I always fuel with carbs I will always need carbs, which is what I’ll be taking on board every 5km in the race itself and the days leading up to the race. Using fat to power effort takes a greater toll on the body - it’s harder work to use that system, carb energy stores (so long as they remain available, yes) is a lot more efficient and hence provided you get it right, allows you to run faster.

[@laurencharltonn]

Exactly what Phily said! Carbs are the most efficient form of energy, and especially as females even more so.

[@micah1754]

@@PhilyBowden yeah I’d ignore this and stick to your guns Phily! Honestly I’ve done the approach suggested here and it really screwed with my health and led to some eating disorder behaviours. Seems like you have a great balanced approach and listen to your body. Ps sorry not meant to be further unsolicited advice even though agreeing lol. Thanks for the great videos - really enjoying them as a newbie runner. I’m able to do a ten km now but finding some niggles with sore knees and ankles.

[@Paraclef]

@@PhilyBowden You don't store carbs, those are pasta, pastes, gluing on the fauna and flora, killing it. But, you don't really feel it with your brain, because the heat, inflammation is ""not"" really high for your brain to consider it as a poisoning. Or maybe, you are developing a wrong fauna and flora, and they order you to get more..... but you are going to kill your origin'al garden then. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ-8XpKngtpkfLc But basically, every cooked things will dehydrate, make the body older.
