EVERYTHING I EAT IN A DAY (Distance Runner)

[@JamieGawthrop11]

As a collegiate female runner who’s recovered from anorexia I loved seeing this video. And I think it’s so important that you noted it’s important to prioritize quantity before getting wrapped up in quality because that definitely led me down a bad path once. Seriously great job on the content!

[@PLP0321]

Love the authenticity. "Eat as best as I can... run as fast as I can." Simple, yet very effective. People tend to overcomplicate things. Thanks for the video.

[@Jessica-ee3rv]

I’ll never forget your video “if this is the hardest thing I do today I consider myself lucky” referring to running. It’s a blessing we get to run and move our bodies. Thank you for these❤

[@vamosrojo56]

@@CreativeC13 we all have our things when it comes to eating, but if you don't eat well at that level, your body won't be able to handle the training, let alone a full on marathon

[@courtneyesposo8810]

Do people not understand that you're a runner so you're going to be skinny? You eat plenty of calories. Sorry that people comment on your body.

[@AdamWoodRuns]

When I was in highschool the comments would bother me a lot. Hoping to spread some positivity to all the runners out there, regardless of “aesthetics”. Thanks for the support 🙏🏼

[@JohnIsaacXIV]

They are just the typical gym bros with a nutritionist degree from Craigslist. Imagine trying to put a strongman diet on a runner, it’s absurd. Obv this guy eats a lot and he has a good diet. If he packed on muscle, that would make him heavier and slower.

[@TuckerWittenberg376]

You can have more muscle and still be an elite runner lol not all runners are skeleton thin. Just saying. This dude is a beast and his body is what it is but not every runner should look like this

[@JohnIsaacXIV]

@@TuckerWittenberg376 The average elite marathon runner looks like this. Look up Paul Chelimo. He’s an Olympic athlete and a champion.

[@user-sg8kq7ii3y]

@@TuckerWittenberg376 Let's clear up a few things. First of all, he is NOT an "elite" runner. A 2:18 marathon is far from being elite. Not putting him down or anything, but it's a simple fact. Next, nearly all truly elite runners are skinny. Show me a single elite-level marathon runner who weighs more than 170-lbs. Heck even more than 150-lbs. Many of them weigh 130-lbs or less. Eliud Kipchoge is considered the best distance runner in the world, and he weighs 115-lbs. So your statement is FALSE.

[@mysticnrg5079]

Bro your Aerobic base is incredible! 137 average bpm for a 7:00 flat pace😭😭. When I do easy runs of 9:15, for 6 miles my heart rate be spiking up to 170 sometimes 😭😭

[@randomoneforstuff3696]

You'll get there! Slowly increase your weekly mileage (even just 1-2 miles per week), and you'll build a decent aerobic base in a few months.

[@onlybilly03]

Hello Adam. I have been running for 8 months now, But I have progressed quite well (see I am only 14 y/o) I got my 5km pb from 22: 30 to 17: 47 from starting to my 4th month. I huge part of my training has been using a resistance bands to stretch my hamstrings, this has benefited me hugely and I very much recommend trying this. One of the best ones to use is stretches band from locker room fitness. My dad is a physio and he treats numerous runners all with tight hamstrings, fixing this makes their running feel smoother, makes them less prone to injuries and most importantly faster. Please try this if you aren’t already

[@vincere13]

@@cuteface88 Ages you ? The contrary is true actually. If you follow the knowledge that is out there, and do 80% of your training in Zone 2, you will improve your health and longevity in almost every single way. If you run 80% of the time at Zone 4 for example, that's a completely different story.

[@CreativeC13]

Nah we definitely came to see you talk 😂 your wife and you are so adorable!

[@TwoMileTimedTrial]

Building up to 80 miles a week for my first collegiate cross season. The miles are tough but getting all the calories back is so much tougher. Feels almost impossible to get enough calories from healthy places. I often find myself not hungry enough to eat the amount of calories I burn in a day. Nutrition and hydration can be the difference maker in the quality of my runs.

[@AdamWoodRuns]

Keep trying! Smoothies are an easy way to add some calories! Adding oatmeal, PB, or cottage cheese does a lot.

[@averagerunner_]

[@RunandRhyd]

[@Bweyg]

Forget the hate on how you're skinny. A 2:18 marathon time is amazing. For reference, your marathon pace is only 5 seconds slower than my mile pace. (5:11) I can maybe run a sub 4 hour marathon with decent training, but nowhere near a sub 2:20 marathon. Also your sub 14 minute 5k and sub 4 minute mile is also faster than anyone can even dream of. When people say things like "oh well I'm more than you at this" etc, they not only hate you, they probably hate themselves too. Keep up the amazing work and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise! You inspired me to want to break 18 minutes in the 5k.

I mean I like protein shakes/smoothies, it’s also easier to drink calories than it is to eat them. You can add dry oatmeal, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt in them as well. Mica makes protein balls. I sometimes meal prep shredded chicken and make quesadillas with it throughout the week for snacks

I like this mentality about food and people need to LEARN the difference between sports goals. Too much muscle mass as a distance runner can be contra productive. There a ping pong players that aren’t bulky bc they don’t need that much muscle mass to be successful. Not everyone wants to look like the rock.
