Two full days of eating & training for a marathon | long run, what I eat and goals

I'm jumping for joy as I share this second video in my marathon series with you! I decided to vlog not one but two full days of eating and training to give you a better picture of how I take it on, even though everything changes from day to day. Nonetheless, I plan to do more of these for you (and myself) to watch :)

I have a question for those of you, who watched the entire video: what was your favourite part and why? I can’t chose myself but I’d love to her your opinions - and let me know if you prefer this style of vlogging or a more random throughout the week. Have yourselves an amazing week ahead!

[@Blumchen001_]

I really enjoy this style of vlogging its really nice and interesting . Your vlogs are always great!

[@penguin8222]

I really like to watch you choose and make your meals ❤ but honestly can’t decide :)

[@BigV24]

Love everything in the vlog, but I think that my favourite part is your little commentary throughout. The lighting in your home is unreal, it makes your videos look very aesthetically pleasing which is good for the algorithm. The scenery in Denmark and the food is just the cherry on top. Congratulations on the PR with the half-marathon by the way, you're right that finishing the marathon is the main goal but would love it for you if it could be done in the time that the coach predicted.

[@mikhailalynn]

I think it's the combination of everything, but I did really loved seeing the water at the end of your run!

[@suomynonaanonymous]

I like it all. I like seeing your meals because they are so unique and completely different than anything you see in the US.

[@judithflame9829]

I have been keeping up with all your videos, and somehow they just keep on getting better and better! The joy you express is contagious. You literally seem to be glowing! Congratulations on your running, training, and eating progress. Watching you is so motivating and encouraging. Keep up the GREAT work!😉

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Wow, thank you! This was really kind of you to say, thank you so much ❤️

[@mikhailalynn]

Thank you for another fun and inspiring marathon vlog! Enjoyed watching while having my post-run dinner 😊

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I’m so glad you did! Thank you 🫶🏼

[@cozyicebear]

loved this style of vlogging! and the running-content🫶

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Ahh I’m SO glad! Thank you for letting me know

[@penguin8222]

I live for these videos, when the first ep showed up on my fyp I looked on your channel for the whole series and and was so sad when I realised you just posted it 😢but now I look forward to every episode, I love the style of vlogging ❤

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Look on the bright side - we only just started!! I am so glad you enjoy these videos

[@louisebruce1863]

Fabulous video-so loved seeing the training and food you eat to achieve your goal. I think the best part for me is the absolute food freedom you have now in your life. Look forward to the next episode and hope that when you run this marathon you have organised someone to video it. 🥰❤️

[@katharinaschneiderr]

❤️❤️ thank you so so so much!!

[@user-ep3se8ci3y]

Have you thought about fueling your post runs with more carbs than just salad? That plus the great protein in it could be a good recovery meal for your muscle. Also electrolyte drinks are super helpful too.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Yes, absolutely!! As mentioned, I craved bagels / white bread but unfortunately didn’t have any. I was too lazy to wait for pasta or rice to finish cooking, hence why I just had what was possible. But for future references, I’ll have to meal prep a bit maybe :) I’ve been wanting to try electrolytes! Just need to get my hands on the right ones :)

[@yktiger]

Loving this series 🖤

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I’m so happy you do!❤️ it’s a lot of fun for me to make these videos too!

[@wellbeingwithjanne]

I love your videos! You motivate me so much! 🥹🫶🏼

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I’m so glad Janne! Thank you❤️

[@ejmcnamara]

Also training for my first marathon! I love seeing your journey and love this style of vlogging too :)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Wish you the best of luck!! :) Tysm!

[@TicklethThyPickles]

your videos gives me the motivation to change myself and i thank you for that, friend

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Go for it!

[@jjessicaisabelle]

Your videos are so relaxing 💆🏻‍♀️love how you film

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thanks!!

[@user-bz9mk1yu1h]

I just discovered your channel and love to follow you along on your marathon-journey! I am running my first marathon (and first ever race) in October - so I have a bit more time until then but love to see how your preparations look and get inspired ☺💪 Also: love the vibe, down-to-earthness & aesthetics 🥰 Love from Munich 💓

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I’m really happy you stumbled across! Aaah that’s so exciting for you too! I remember my first race - the crowds, atmosphere and overall energy is something different. Thank you so much🩷🩷

[@MandyGoldenGoddessFan]

Hello Katharina I hope you have a great week ahead of you. Also it's nice to see you again

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thank you! You too!:)

[@anna_anna_anna_]

loved this vlog!!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I'm glad!!

[@mirchen01]

Thank you for your content ❤

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thank you for you!❤️

[@Wings_nut]

My favorite part was when you said that the Saysky rep suggested you go for a 3:30 finish time. Not meaning to put pressure on you, if you run a 3:30 on your first marathon, that would be epic because that would qualify you for the Boston Marathon.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I know right! If I hit that qualification time, I genuinely don’t know what to do 😅

[@Wings_nut]

​@@katharinaschneiderr You would shed much-deserved tears for the effort and for the incredible accomplishment.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

@@Wings_nut i belive you're right :)

[@Wings_nut]

@katharinaschneiderr Looking forward to following your progress on the CPH Marathon tracker. It will be so much fun :-)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Agreed! 😁

[@kurtkurtsen5176]

Vil bare sige du gør det pisse godt, tjekkede lige ind efter lang tid på din KZbin. Dejligt at se med igen ❤️ Kh Buster

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Tusind tak!:)

[@ditz3nfitness]

1:35, Rugbrød w/ Eggs are SO GOOD! ❤

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I’ll be having it every day (akmost) ;)

[@emmamortensen3627]

Du er den sejeste og jeg er kæmpe stolt af dig, og jeg hepper såååå meget på diggggg

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Tak Emma

[@generalpotato6124]

That meals are very nice and seem delicious, yummy. Nice video.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thank you 😋

[@Sisi-vk6pn]

Thank you for everything you post. At 31 years old, after 17 years of anorexia, your such an inspiration. Funny question, what is the master piece behind your coach? I'm an art lover :)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thank you so so so much. You are absolutely welcome! I have to ask my parents about it - I believe it’s by a Danish artist ☺️

[@Sisi-vk6pn]

🥰@@katharinaschneiderr

[@maries.7790]

Love this vlogging content so much 🤗🫶🏼💓

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you do❤️❤️

[@ditz3nfitness]

0:53, Ever had those gels with fast digesting carbs? Could be nice intra-workout (run) too! 🔥

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I’ll try them with some fruit or a slice of toast perhaps ! I need to experiment before the marathon for sure 🤔

[@hannahkr24]

Love videos like this one🌸🤍

[@katharinaschneiderr]

more to come 🩷

[@nataliegoh27]

@katharinaschneider- I’m also in recovery from anorexia and was wondering if, at this point in your journey, you are now able to follow your hunger cues, rather than following a rigid 3 meals, 3 snacks kind of meal plan for the day? :) Great to see you doing so well and loving food/exercise in equal amounts!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Hi dear:) I haven’t followed a diet or meal plan since I left hospitalisation in 2021. Ever since, I’ve only stuck to my hunger cues and natural cravings to satisfy my hunger. However, I used to get help in the beginning and further into recovery to realise what was normal and what wasn’t - and to push myself and my ability to eat more. Im not in active recovery anymore as I’ve reached a ‘healthy’ weight, got my period back and mentally restored my ‘normal mind’ However, I do still try actively to put on more weight :) I highly suggest you watch my weight gain series if you have any further questions :)

[@jjessicaisabelle]

May I ask what camera you use? (sorry you’ve probably answered this before) the food shots look so good haha

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Look in the description ;)

[@millimiba]

❤

[@ebba.grhe00]

You definitely should eat more carbs to fuel your runs. Carbs are incredibly important for runners.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I do my best to eat plenty :)

[@user-mr5pe7de9j]

A bit of advice from a former elite distance runner and PT, be careful merging two workouts, doing that can put too much stress on your body. Right now I´d advice you to just skip one of the runs if you don´t have time, for example a 5 k run alone doesn´t improve your fitness for the marathon at this stage. I am just saying this so that you don´t risk putting too much stress on your body and end up getting hurt again. And, as someone else commented, and you answered, you need more carbs after your run, if you don´t have bread at home adding a banana woukd be good! Other than that, you are doing great!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thanks for the tips! I follow the plan i am scheduled too and I listen to my body a 100%. A 5k will do me just fine - it depends on the purpose of the run. Don’t worry, I’ve already opted my carb intake A LOT 😅

[@user-mr5pe7de9j]

I knpw that you are following the Copenhagen Marathon Plan, and that is great. What I mean is that 13 k in one run puts a lot more stress on the body than 8 + 5 k on following days :-) I love seeing the happiness you show on the runs, it´s exactly what it is all about, having fun and seeing how far you can go :-) I am happy to see that you incorporate some strength training in your plan, that´s also injury prevention, an important part that so easily can be forgotten... you´re doing a good job girl!!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Aaaabsolutely! You’re 100% right - I do remind myself to try and stick to the schedule as much as possible. I’m happy you can tell that running makes me happy - because it’s simply the most enjoyable thing I can do for myself, making this marathon training such a pleasure 🥹 Thank you for all the feedback and your kind words! I really appreciate it.

[@vl.razumov]

And what pulse are you running at?

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I’m afraid I can’t say for sure! I haven’t got a heart rate monitor or watch (yet). But I’ll get it soon. However, I think it’s quite ‘average’ or well, my relaxed running pulse. Sorry I can’t give you a certain number at this point :’)

[@vl.razumov]

спасибо) Главное, что для вас этот темп комфортный) Спасибо за ответ, очень интересное видео:) @@katharinaschneiderr

[@katharinaschneiderr]

You must translate that for me :')

[@vl.razumov]

@@katharinaschneiderr oh, sorry:D thank you) The main thing is that this pace is comfortable for you) Thank you for the answer, a very interesting video :)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

No worries!:) it absolutely is - I do however try to push myself from time to time to increase my aerobic fitness :)

[@ditz3nfitness]

Pauluvs Granola er gud!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Bestemt ikke dårligt nej :')

[@asiahawarin4767]

hey:) I wanted to ask you how you found your apartment in Paris and if you could maybe give me the contact information. Since your videos inspired me to also travel alone and I would love to spend 1 month in Paris, but I can’t find an affordable apartment. Ps: Still obsessed with your videos:)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Hey! I never rented an apartment in Paris of stayed long term. I’ve only booked hotels which is definitely not something you want to book for a long term stay without draining your wallet :) Good luck on your solo travels!! It’ll be amazing x

[@asiahawarin4767]

oh, ok thank you so much anyway :)

[@user-we2kc5vu2l]

did you get your period back?

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Yes I did last fall :)

[@damonb805]

"Promo sm" 😄

[@vty.margo.]

You have so charming lashes❤

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Hehe thank you!

[@cuisineensceneblog]

Hi Katharina, thank you again for this vlog, which I really appreciate, as I do the rest of your videos. I'm writing you this comment in the hope that it will help you, and that you'll be able to think about it. As a former professional ballet dancer, I can give you some "advice" and an opinion based on my experience, and which is an opinion from a distance, which you might need. I'm well aware of where you've come from and where you've arrived, in just a few months, whereas for others it takes years, and I admire you a lot for that. However, I've just got one comment to make to you: in my opinion, seen in this light and in the context in which you present your diet, your current choices are very balanced, very similar to that followed by dancers in my circle, i.e. young women who want to "eat well", of everything, in a studied way and with the aim of having energy, protein so as not to lose muscle, BUT making sure they STAY THIN (for the demands of their profession 🥲). In my opinion, it's not the ideal diet for offsetting the energy expenditure of the marathon AND continuing to gain weight at the same time. I think it lacks a lot of carbohydrates, which you should try to eat at every meal, without exception (even if you've eaten them at other meals during the day). Having some available at home is really important so that you don't find yourself without options and having to eat meals that aren't really suited to your sporting activities. I honestly think it's very difficult to achieve your 2 goals at the same time: that of the marathon, with all the physical exercise it requires and for months on end, and that of the weight gain you set yourself several months ago. You need to try to follow a high-calorie diet, increasing your carbohydrate intake considerably and without restriction, i.e. at EVERY meal and snack during the day, if you want to succeed. What I hope is that you'll manage to keep your current diet when you're no longer faced with the challenge of a marathon, which is when I think it will be perfect for supporting regular physical exercise, but at a lower intensity 😉 I hope you find this advice useful and constructive 😊🩷

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thank you for your feedback. I’ll be sharing much more of what I eat in future videos. I always listen to my body and cravings, keeping in mind I need to fuel properly too which I already notice to work on my runs and the progress I’ve made! My marathon is my goal in sight right now and as long as my body and mind is healthy, that’s what matters :))

[@suomynonaanonymous]

Crazy you have grocery stores that sometimes don't have everything you need! Here in the US, grocery stores have EVERYTHING.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I’ve been to a couple ones when I went to NYC and I was absolutely blown away by your assortments and options!! Wish it was like this here - it’s very common for basic products to be sold out and furthermore pay overprice for more special products (like bagels, for us:’))
