    I saw mo stop by my bird feeder, he ate three sunflower seeds and then ran away at 5:20 pace.

    Thank you for the food-diet info. I started running in my 30s, and I enjoyed more the long distance running. I am almost age 60 and a grandmother, just started running again. I’m watching all the videos you’ve shared to help me become inspired.

    When I trained for a marathon, I would eat a giant 2/3 lb burger the night before my Saturday long run and it worked really well. One time I ate that, then woke up and did a 20 mile run without even eating breakfast before.

    Well, that’s more or less what I eat. Toast with jam, coffee for breakfast, lunch is rice with fish and fruit, dinner could be spag bol, chicken and rice, etc. I think my diet’s quite nice but I could do with eating less red meat. I like running around 5k at low pace and I feel good, keep my weight down nicely. Mo seems like such a nice humble guy.

    Mo Farah needs to be featured by ESPN on a piece or two. Eliud Kipchoge as well. Cool video. I've done 5 marathons, I'm currently getting ready for the Chicago Marathon next year. I wish I could eat a big meal like Mo and then go run after, he's got really good genetics. For me my pre-race meal consists of at 3:00 a.m. is 3-4 slices of pizza, 3 cups of coffee, 2 sugar free energy drinks, 2-3 G2 gatorades. I try to give myself a 4 hour window for the digestion that by 7:00 a.m. all the food I ate will be ready for energy. I know Pizza is not the healthiest or the easiest option on my stomach but that's what worked for me. When I'm on the road to do some of the Marathons in a hotel room with no kitchen I just order Pizza the night before. I can't binge eat the night before like a lot of runners can because I know I'll get hungry mid way through the race. Idk how they do it anyway and not get hungry. More power to them.

    • @dennisz1799
      @dennisz1799 6 лет назад +1

      Steven Brown First step is to gain mobility and then flexibility- if your joint isn't mobile then there is no point in stretching the muscle. Mobility is residual- flexibility is derived from that.

    You realize you're judging the diet of one of the best distance runners of all time? Reminds me of those guys who were correcting Usain Bolt's strength training techniques in one video, really? Don't try to fix something that ain't broken... These guys know what they're doing, and I'm sure they have some kind of nutritional specialists behind them, along with physiotherapists etc to keep them on top of the game. Their bodies go through immense training and stress, and they need the right fuel to recover from the damage that's happening. And plant based diet just won't cover that, end of story.

Therefore, make it a point to have a protein shake within an hour of completing your long distance workouts. Grilled chicken is an excellent choice.
