Mirinda Carfrae -Training Day (4 part series)

Watch the entire 4 part series in its entirety and see what a day of training is like for 2012 Ironman World Champion triathlete Mirinda Carfrae.

"what form of birth control do you use when you have sex?" "chocolate milk"

[@robbywilcox404]

Great performance at Kona this year. You're an inspiration.

[@k2raf]

Now I got it : I never finished Kona Ironman because I am drinking Vanilla Milk, damn !

[@JackChickenwing]

if you eat chocolate at the same time you eat vanilla malk is this same as chocolate malk??

[@javandermerwe]

Awesome running form... I wish I could even come close!

[@janatlmb2770]

Nice words from Mirinda at the end :) Cheers

[@RodneyKinney]

It's a real look at Mirinda's training, but "Got Chocolate Milk" is also a sponsor of hers. So it's also a marketing piece for them.

[@romyjugroo4542]

In my opinion,bananas and coconut water can be a cheap and quick way to replenish electrolytes,fluids and energy during long runs and also to promote recovery.Nice video.

[@nursecima81]

+Romy Jugroo I do not drink milk, I am also training for long distance TRI, I like coconut water, and banana =) the coconut water is full of electrolytes

[@romyjugroo4542]

Agreed.Keep up improving on your training,results will follow.

[@MiniForklift]

The chocolate milk unfortunately ruined what was otherwise a great 4 part series!

[@philippsassie157]

I have to agree. I really enjoyed this but whenever the chocolate milk came up it felt like she got pulled out of her passionate explanation of whatever she was talking about to sell herself to chocolate milk which she doesn`t actually believe in.

[@odyssey00300]

For some reason I suddenly feel that if I drink a gallon of chocolate milk every day that I will become a world champion.

[@freakyllounge]

+odyssey00300 wheheh lol spot on:D

[@MegaKennedy999]

odyssey00300 or a fat bastard 😜😜😜

People like Mirinda and myself make a living from branding agreements and licensing, but I get that sometimes it can be so "in your face" that people are steered away from wanting to even watch or support such promotional vids. I think that videos like this, if the commentator asked Mirinda, "What's the best fuel for recovery?" and Mirinda replied, "Chocolate milk because A, B and C", then that would make me go to the store immediately to try chocolate milk and trust in her judgement for my recovery. Likely, the editors and producers of this video were obliged, rather, paid, by the advertising company of Build by Chocolate Milk, to have to incorporate the brands messaging X amount of times in the video as well as a certain amount of verbiage. This amount of constant reminders of the brand and promotion makes me not want to even try chocolate milk to aid in my recovery, simply knowing how much of a promotional scheme it is, based on the amount of times mentioned and logo verbiage seen, which in turn, deterred from the inspiration and educational that the video boasts. I sometimes wished that these companies would see the value in authenticity, and that one strong mention is more than enough to get the point across to its viewers. Hopefully one day companies will catch on. It's obvious that Mirinda excels in her sport, and has the ultimate lean body to prove it... so I'd trust her judgement based off just one mention of a recovery drink and would be racing to the stores to purchase. Again, too many mentions in one video makes me feel like I'm purchasing from a company, rather than an individual.

This is a 'Chocolate Milk' commercial...

[@trikonayoga]

I'm in the chocolate milk camp! Always have a four-pack of Yazoo in the cupboard.

[@shartmann2008]

Love it.

[@chadwad12]

lol while a lot of athletes do use chocolate milk as a recovery option sometimes the constant mention and blatant advertising of it was over the top and took away from what should had been a good watch. Know she is sponsored by Got Chocolate Milk (I think) so I'd take it that they pretty much paid for this entire series so they made sure their branding was all over it. I hate being forcefully fed branding crap

[@antihero9251]

I was going to make a comment about chocolate milk but I see everyone else has covered it.

[@MegaKennedy999]

Does the chocolate milk come from chocolate cows by any chance ??

[@GreyandtheBlues]

This is really creepy as a chocolate milk commercial

[@timmclaughlin1787]

MAybe choclate milk is a sponsor? hahaha

[@katherine6068]

Cool video ruined by chocolate milk marketing

[@SlimTravels]

Yep.

[@MiniForklift]

Drink chocolate milk and anything is possible.

[@600wacko]

did she say chocolate milk? :P

[@joebryant]

lol did anyone mention chocolate milk?

[@balazs_korcsog]

Pathetic marketing bullshit. (Choc. Milk) Try vegan lifestyle if you want to invinvcible Miranda! Btw you have all my respect :)

[@stonefit]

Balázs Korcsog how does a vegan lifestyle directly lead to increased athletic performance?!

[@balazs_korcsog]

nah, but it helps if you are eating 80/10/10 plant based ;)

[@stonefit]

Balázs Korcsog what actually helps is training and a consistent healthy diet. being a vegan or a vegetarian does not make you a superior athlete nor does it make you healthy. A vegan can still consume many unhealthy foods.

[@balazs_korcsog]

did you not understand what I wrote just before?

[@alexib2070]

Chocolate milk ad - disgusting from a vegan point of view. Still she is a great triathlete

[@andypyegolfcoaching]

Chocolate milk..............like milk, but not as good for you. So here's a thought............why not drink just milk??????????

[@stonefit]

andy pye you want to drink chocolate milk after a workout for recovery. It has a higher fat, carb, and protein content than regular milk. The things your body needs after an intense workout. Especially after an endurance workout.

[@TwoSet]

No. Drink coconut or almond milk. Why drink animal milk from cows blasted with antibiotics and feed trash. No other species drinks milk beyond youth.

[@edgyguy5553]

+TwoSet No other species drinks coconut or almond milk beyond ... well, ever. Or those yummy vanilla coconut/almond milk blends. Or coffee. Veganism's cool, but can we use rational arguments? This appeal to nature is plain meaningless. Some people have lactose persistence because cow's milk was a survival advantage thousands of years ago in the cold climes of Europe. It was a great way to convert the energy of grass into a food source. A lot of people are lactose intolerant and can't digest cow's milk and shouldn't drink it. You see, humans, like all species have evolutionary adaptions that help them out. So you could also say "no other species knowingly/purposefully gives ups an evolutionary adaption that they have". Just as no other species makes ethical or moral choices, that we know of. Go vegan for sure. But let's keep odd concepts of evolution out of it.

[@SlimTravels]

+Edgy Guy ...flag on the play! You used logic. It's gonna be a 5 minute dock...

[@garymiller1216]

sorry i had to stop watching, too much milk shake

[@pmckibbi1]

chocolate milk commercial(pathetic)
