It is so nice seeing that you guys are similar to us all. I always think that youtubers in fitness are all full time athletes and I find that I can relate a lot more to people like you. I too run and exercise every day and not always my diet is perfect. Kudos for the genuine content!
Bruno Tolosa thanks Bruno, I think there’s more like us than we realise.
@@heatherfell_oly you’re became my hero when you brought out the butter. Im lactose intolerant so I had to give it up for a few years until I found a lactose free version. Life has been better ever since!!
YES pls do more diet and nutrition! Loved it!
its shit, not a nutrition. i mean they think they have it, but probably just self educated. banana + milk is one of the worst mix ever as it can cause numerous problems to your digestion system. eat bananas and drink milk separately at least 30 mins between. also muesli and granola is full of sugars. eat them only when in race as it is good source of energy, but not every day please. and eating shit like lasagna for athlete ? at least do not show it for the whole internet.
@@maisetas I'll listen when you have their credits and achievements.
My muesli has no sugar at all. Maybe you need help shopping, @maisetas?
Yes
My favorite part is that his train leaves in 15 minutes and he still has time to shower and catch it on time....I'm just here in the USA with a 62 mile (each way) commute to and from work because of housing costs. Takes 1 hr 15 minutes to get to my job each day.
It may not be right for you but, if you're able, I can highly recommend moving or going remote and putting that 75 min x 260 days or 13.5 days each year of
commuting time back in your life.
@@nathanmclain9027 I would really love to do that, but unfortunately I work in a field that can never be remote and the Washington DC area is so expensive that you pay more than half your salary in a mortage for a crappy house or you live an hour away :/
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. 15-20 minutes and he hadn't even showered yet, brushed his teeth or gotten dressed. The train station must be literally across the road from his house as he didn't seem panicked at all about making it on time.
As a distance runner, I thought I didn't eat that much but after seeing how much (rather, little) he eats, I think I'm relatively on par. But I guess it's the types of food, with carbs being essential along with protein.
Great video guys. Seemed like a genuine, honest video. Well done 😊
Alan Lyons thanks Alan, you could probably tell it was real!
@@heatherfell_oly Absolutely, that's what I like about yourself & Mark, how genuine you are.. With so much staged content elsewhere online, I really appreciated this. If ye had pretended to have perfect diets, people would have just felt bad about themselves. Keep up the good work, you are both doing great 👍
“In work fairly early”....8:55am!
and then lunch at 12:00 whahahaha
What fun to see GTNers in their natural environments (home and office). Thanks for keeping it so real.
I work full time and am a father of two. I train six days a week. I am also boring and eat poached eggs on toast every morning and an avocado salad sandwich every lunchtime. I rely on nature valley bars for a pick me up if I need it. In the evening I eat whatever my wife or I has cooked. Toasted bagel with a hot drink for supper or maybe a little ice cream.
Need to see more of Reggie! Maybe a running with your dog feature?
I start my day pretty early about 5 or 5:30. I get up and make warm water with ACV and lemon. I wake up the kids at 6 and get them to school by 6:50 I am either at the gym or out for a run, generally a 4-5 mile one. I am at work between 8:15 and 8:45. What helps me is preparing things the night before. My work schedule can be demanding but if I am home by 20:00h I will make a few things ahead of time. So generally I make a green smoothy the night before. It will last in the fridge 2-3 days and I make enough for 3 days. I take with me for after my run. I always have granola and plain yogurt or a banana. For lunch I like having soup and bread. I always carry a snacks: raw almonds, cashews and dried fruit. I bring with me to work. For dinner: egg, avocado, cheese and bread is a go to dinner. Soups are a big deal at home. A very easy one is spinach and eggs. Dit is ready in 20 min and everyone loves it for dinner. Pretty much with most meals bread and butter or cheese. Homemade bread, yogurt and granolla. I know it takes time but it is worth it. Also quinoa and greens with chicken or yogurt. Very delicious dinner.
Lasagnas and tagliatelle with nuts 😭 *cries in italian* 😜
one of my favorite videos...I tend to watch it ever few months...
You're on a wind up?
Aww your doggy soooo nice... is he or her an Australian Shepherd? Awww you’re so real thank you 😊
The work footage looked like a perfect example of something doable in homeoffice. Benefits: no train hasle, the dog gets more walkies, maybe an afternoon run... Why not?
Well, it's up to the employer. Some employers still want their employees in the office. As I work under my own company and have worked from home since the beginning, I have to say that I'm finding a lot of service delays now that people are working from home. Initially they all claimed it was great as they were getting more work done, but then this quickly morphed into laziness because there was no accountability. Believe it or not, but many people need to be supervised ... need to be held accountable with physical oversight.
I loved that they are having dairy as also a source of protein
Hi Mark, I also drink a lot of milk. Not sure if you've tried this, but one 'carb load' drink I like is a banana and blueberry milk smoothie. Just add 250ml of milk, a banana and 3 tablespoons of blueberries into a nutri-bullet (blender), blend thoroughly and ... enjoy! That's over 60grams of carbs right there.
(I also go for full cream milk and organic bananas and blueberries).
Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us.
Meatless meals are awesome! Try lentil soup with slices of toasted rye or sourdough bread or tofu simmered in yellow curry sauce, served on rice and a side of broccoli. Current fave: Naan pizza - garlic naan topped with tomato sauce, vegan mozzarella and sliced mushrooms. Big fan of your channel ever since I decided to train for my first half marathon!
I mix up a low carb protein shake to go on the muesli, extra protein and stay full for longer 👍
Where was heathers video at 6am, mark looked half dead and I’m guessing heathers not an early bird
Heather is most certainly not an early bird. Watch GTN Vs Ironman Lanzarote, at arorund 5:45. Will answer that question immediately 😂
Oh you guys know me too well 😴
SERIOUSLY?! He looks very awake to me!
this is random but I love the mug rack at 0:41
You should do a workday training video too!
It was great to see what you gusy eat a day, since you have full time jobs and exercise beside that. I'm aware that everybody has to find the diet that is best suited for them, but it's pretty hard to do. It would be very helpful if you could make a video about finding ones nutritional needs, how to tell if we eat too much or not enough of something, common signs of that etc.
Great video guys. As others say it is good to see you are not angels! My go to breakfast is porridge, banana, cranberries, blueberries and goji berries. Never seem to get bored with it and usually lasts and keeps me going for couple of hours on the bike. Fantastic after a swim in the morning as well. I thought I was the only person in the world who loved rice cakes. Thanks Heather you have made me feel almost normal.
phill whitlam oh they’re great but can smell a little funny if someone else is eating them 😆
Well I'm 39 years of age with a 3 year old and a fulltime job with rotating hours every week 6am-14pm and 14pm-22pm. I don't stress the family with my training so my bike workout I do in a commute stretching it depending on the time of year and training. Running is the same for the long run. The course is a min 20 km's to commute. So this means I have to keep my energy up or I'll break down on the way or back from home ;).
Getting up at 2.30am I drink 2 glasses of water with 50% grape juice. And go out for a medium run (1hour) or run to work approx. 2 hours. On the run or coming back to change in my cycling gear I eat a bananaand a hand of nuts and seeds and again 2 glasses of plain water now. (On the run this is in my backpack with an extra bottle of water mixed with grape juice).
At work after the shower (we are spoiled at Nike)
I eat an apple and a slice of gingerbreadright before the shift starts. And 1L of plain water
I snack on almond nuts before the first break.
During a small break I have 2 slices of breadwith creamcheese and some spinach or slices of tomato.
During lunch I have my muesli with milk and extra seeds. Also 2 to 4 raw carrots.
An hour before leaving work I have some dried fruit or a slece of ginger bread or something else to top up.
When home at approx. 16pm I start with plain water and coffee afterwards for the cravings and as a reward.
At 17pm a warm meal. I try to change it up, but keep in mind to get some meat or eggs or fetta cheese for proteïne. Some 300grams of green vegetable and some ptatoes, pasta, couscous,..... Always coocked with olive oil or steamed or grilled withoud fats.
Before bed some yoghurt with a bit of muesli fueling for recovery and a good start for the next day.
Working the late shift I shift some things arround to make it work.
I manage daily to get in 12 to 14 hours of quality training like this and have lots of spare energy for the family - veeeeerryyyy important!
Wow you are so inspiring
Hey Mark, after your early run, don't you have any issues with sweating? Seems like you headed out for work pretty much soon afterwards.
After my run it always takes me up to one hour to get the heat out of my body.
May be due to my hefty body which keeps more heat. :D
He said he was gonna have a quick shower, so that takes care of that!
Try a cold shower after running and glass or 2 of cold water
Pretty certain he said he'd be going for a shower before catching the train ... could be wrong.
I am surprised you guys don’t take protein powder. I am always struggling eat enough when I am training .
thebrokentriathlete we both eat a relatively balanced diet and don’t train very hard so get plenty from our food.
6am.... Looking fresher than a daisy 🌼
Just saw this, really enjoyed it. Do you track / try to hit certain macros &/or calorie targets to fuel your training / manage weight? I have been trying and find it challenging to hit protein targets & not way overshoot carbs. Interested in the M&H and GTN community experiences. Thanks
That's some cool content! Maybe you could share some recipes for a good lunch/dinner with us?
Domestik we’ve made a few snack recipe videos, check those out on our channel.
2:28 Neil is looking really happy!
great real life video Mark & Heather. Quick question: how many hours a week do you invest in training (incl strength, etc) ?? how do you balance the training with work commitments? would be nice to know more about how you split the week for us RUclips rats to take example/inspiration :) thanks!
Pietro Andreoni we might follow that up then, could be another video. I can’t speak for mark but my weeks really vary. Feel free to follow us on Strava for a rough idea.
So, you are like the rest of us, just stronger.
That's OK, I became more or less resiliant after recovery from the news that Santa does not exist.
Eating local food and seasonal veggies and fruits is the best way to go.
Lasagne actually tastes BETTER when you eat the leftovers next day!
Jacob Riis I agree!
Made a fancy lasagna that cost a small fortune to make just last week, can confirm
Thanks again for another fine video!
love this! thanks guys! you rock!
Charlotte Backus thanks Charlotte
wow you guys seem to eat not much food at all, how many calories do you eat a day?
I practice work outs only 3 - 4 days a week (1 run, 2 swims, 1 dryland) and I need to stuff far more calories a day or I will loose too much weight. I try to eat between meals every 2 hours or so. I feel breakfast is the most important meal; if I postpone that to 9am or later my body just collapses.
Enjoyed the info and honesty
Eating don’t start in the kitchen but before when you buy your food. Good local and fresh ingredients this is what I love and change with season. Bon appétit !
Can we just appreciate Neil Donahue in the video as Mark walks in the office
looks delicious! thanks for the video!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Gtn office is sadder than an unplugged spin bike in January
all offices are 🤷🏽♀️
His train was in 15-20 minutes, and he's casually talking to the camera about how he needs to grab a shower and breakfast. What?! I'd be in panic mode!
Great video! Do you have any tips on healthy snacks in between main meals?
Top up the protein levels to keep you from getting too hungry with snacks such as nuts and seeds. Fruit gives you vitamins but be aware of the high sugar content. The closest to natural the better as you'll be getting the added minerals and vitamins not just the fat, protein and carbs.
life before covid...wow, miss those days!
Can you put a schedule online of a diy trainingscamp (week or long weekend?
Not how long but when you do what training session
Damn, makes me want to move to Bath 😂
I saw Huel shaker. This is my first day of Huel too.
Anyone who is an Amateur Swimmer can answer.
What is the best time for u to swim 1 lap of 25m.
Breakfast is tablespoon of ground flaxseed with water based porridge and banana, bit of ground cinnamon and walnuts. Teaspoon of Spirulina with glass of water.
Are those employees of gtn for editing and such?
What happened to Fraser, seems to be MIA lately...
Rice cakes and hummus sounds like salt on salt on salt, right? I've been avoiding stuff like that.
Mark is partnered? My heart just broke...
Hi there !!! I'm currently 88Kg and my race weight is usually 80Kg ... and my races start mi August... is it realistic??? And if so .mm what advices can you give me ?
we need moar diet content!!
Any chance of getting that vegan lasagne recipe?
It so hard to stick on healthy eating...
Heather isn't an early bird 🐦 #highfighheather
I know the video is limited in time but does Mark try to avoid any snacking? (as I eat candy.....)
somehow i imagine you guys would be riding your bikes to work
Holy that's a huge bowl of muesli.. How many serving sizes are in that bowl.. 10? hahaha
Seems like a low calorie diet! Or maybe I eat too much!! Haha
What tune is that at 2:30?
Border Collie dog❤
👑
What does you guys training look like
Dillon Longo it varies for both of us depending on goals and work.
Great info guys. Thanks. But I am off dairy and gone to almond and coconut milk. Sooooo good
Corie Dilts thanks, I do like oat milk personally.
Heather Fell Hmmmm, oat milk.... that I have never tried but will give it a go. Thanks. Love following you guys. Great info.
What about Fraser?
It Haggis season, you need to cull them now before the population explodes and eats all the Oat crop in the summer/autum.
Not enough Richie in this video...
Thanks for your vedio.It's good to get familiar with Asia nutritions( Especially IRAN)
Every day we have a BOWL of rice and Many others like potato,meet and....
I cant have yours because my mom encourage me to finish my bowl and you know what happen to my poor body😁😅
FAT Triathlete!😄
Chuna? Did he mean tuna?
Glad you are eating full fat proper milk. 👍
You're always hungry because carbohydrates burn fast. Most what you eat has little to no nutrition. Real food can't be beat. Professor Tim Noakes proves carbohydrates aren't need to perform if you train your body to use a slow burning fuel like fat.
I like to eat bacon sausage and eggs fried in full fat butter for breakfast. I avoid bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, crisps, biscuits. Basically I avoid carbs. I like to have sardines and liver pate for lunch and steak or fish for dinner. I also avoid fruit, vegetables and sugar. So I'm mainly a carnivore. Feel great, running 20 min 5k at 50.
How do you have high energy with no carbs in the diet??
Wow, im not sure of your history and if you were pro/semi pro, but looking at this i would say your macros are way off lol! Hardly any protein in your diet.
I understand running needs energy hence carbs, and healthy fats are a must (kept reasonably low though) but muscle can only be kept and maintained by protein, and high volume to.
Are you both Veggie by any chance as i didnt see any meat?
Was expecting way more calories? These guys do alot of miles and would of expected them to be around 4000 calories.
Heeeere come the Vegans. *Stomp stomp stomp*
"You can't eat animal products! But let me tell you my opinion! Allow me to stuff this down your throat instead of meat". Some people eat meat, some people eat cheese, some people don't. Why let the fact that someone else does something different to you ruin your day? - BTW, I'm Vegan.. Yeah. Plot twist in a YT comment.
This erm guy erm is erm so erm interesting erm.
Fair dos that is a lot of muesli
Where’s Fraser.?.... what did I miss?.
Fraser's away the moment - he'll be back soon 🙂
Global Triathlon Network gooood to know :)
So basically a bowl of sugar for breakfast...
Salmons are plant so it’s okay.
Bloody hell GTN treat you all like slaves thats one long working day
I consider myself lucky if l have at all my first break at 8:55am. I should consider my changing hospital carer ....
Have you considered soy milk? It's got plenty of protien and doesn't carry the health concerns, ethics or environmental impact as dairy milk.
You can't milk beans.
the dog could have gone with you
Calem Bates he has arthritis sadly. Trying to help him with lots of walks, but full-on runs are a bit too much at the moment unfortunately
@@markthrelfall3577 I know what you mean my dog does too mine is 16 an old working dog I get him k9 massages and I cook all his food etc I am amazed at my dog at least 6 walks a day seven days a week sorry about your dog I love your show you guys are the best
What's that mean, "you're no longer athlete you used to be"? Is it because of the diet you quit the hight level sport?
Neou Itier we now work full time at GTN so training has to fit around when we can.
Way too much carbohydrate. Not enough protein.
I like Heather's version of vegan 😅
Matt Sharpe it’s better on Monday’s!
Love you guys for all the videos except nutrition.
Nutrition is a simple but controversial subject these days.
I looked at the whole video and i knew it was only for carbs addict.
It was evident when you did you fat oxydation test which was very low.
It is amazing that people needs to know what other people eats. I guess some people needs to be reassured about eating carbs, fruits and veggies is good for you.
Read the science.
Are sponsored by the dairy industry by any chance?
Don't worry, I’m offsetting your lack of support for farmers by having meat at every meal. Burgers. Bacon. Ribs. Chicken. Steaks. Fish. Venison. Turkey. And all the eggs a man can eat in a day
😂😂🤣 you guys don’t do enough training to burn off what you are eating!!! 😜
Jeez, eat more veggies, fruits and salads
Lol a nutrition video starting with cow secretions that are less healthy than just about any other option.😂😂😂 Pass.
H & M, did you realise that the likes of soya, almond, peanut and oat milk etc have the same amount of protein and calcium, if not more in some cases than dairy milk, plus you don't get all of that unhealthy animal fat, hormones or pus cells (dairy contain pus cells - like when you pop a zit). Plant based milks are nearly always fortified with B vitamins and often vitamin D too and the most beneficial thing is that plant milks are not based on the systematic abuse, rape and slaughter of cows because whichever way you look at it, those cows had to get pregnant and they had to have their baby calfs taken from them. Try dairy free for a month and notice the benefits, (good luck with the cheese though as it contains an addictive substance - casomorphin - the morphine part should seem familiar in name).
breakfast is usually a large smoothie with a base of 4 bananas, 2 scoops of oats and 2 scoops of frozen berries and chia seeds - to which i will add a variation of pineapple, spinach / broccoli, beetroot, spirulina, walnuts, almonds, peanut butter and even some electrolyte powder. This always ends up as a very thick consistency so requires us of a spoon.
suggestion: try watching Game Changers on Netflix for a really good insight in to how nutrition can affect performance
bikeanddogtrips game changers is so biased please noooo...
You can't milk plants. And why do you need some "good and essential" food fortified with extra ingridients?
Francesca Donati I completely agree
Too less protein in your guys diet
What, Mark trained twice in the same day and only had those three tiny meals?
