What Pro Runners REALLY Eat - Nutrition for a Marathon Training Workout Day

A vlog filled with a full day of eating from start to finish. I talk you through exactly what I'm eating, when and why - pre workout and post workout, including all my favourite snacks, protein hacks and a random grocery shop haul. I am not vegan, nor am I a nutritionist, these were just the meals and snacks I ate on this one sunny Friday with a running session sandwiched in the middle - enjoy!

This might be one of the most chaotic food diary vlogs I've watched 😂As a vegetarian I obviously have some major differences to you, but it's nice to know I have a similar breakfast to an elite athlete - now to work on the skill gap lol

Had me roaring with laughter from the top with the cat food, you kept me with you all the way to the IKEA checkouts. So. Many. Feels!

Seriously though, great video, and it's reassuring to know that even a pro can make room in their diet for meals with friends, and IKEA meatballs. Life is all about balance, and running and one's diet are all part of that balance too.

Phily, this vid was top tier! I love all your content, but especially this style with the randomness and humour in authentic vlog style vids. Awesome stuff! Thanks for putting this out there and for the commitment to the regular content and also to Daniel for being cameraman extraordinaire, which must be a mainly thankless task! Great work. Thank you both and keep it coming! P.S looking forward to Daniels first marathon vlog!

"We're wild and don't drink caffeine past 2pm." (Strikes pose) 😂 you're like non stop funny. Keep up the great vids.

Hey Phily. I ran a 10K after following your 10k training plan (well... weeks 5-11 - whoops, didn't realise race day was so close). Really enjoyed it, and certainly didn't feel monotonous at all - kept things interesting throughout. Ran a 1:21 PB for the course and a 50s 10K PB.

Phily your fab! Keep these videos coming, keep being you, definitely the best on YouTube!

Best full day of eating blog ever. So fun to watch! Cheers!

[eddiegaul]

This was entertaining. I love the light-heartedness here. Looks like you make some good choices and your diet avoids a lot of the sugary stuff. Enjoyed the video!

[geoffclarke]

Loved the video. I regularly have Porridge for breakfast this time of the year though not so much in the summer. A lady from a nearby running club recently ate prunes before a long run resulting in the need for a few pit stops.

My method of oats, add to bowl, slowly add hot water from the kettle, till the oats have absorbed all the water that's added and can't absorb any more, add a spoon of peanut butter, stir in, bit of milk and snack. Also add in seeds but list too long!

I did a park run yesterday. It was 8:58, I was still in bed, and got a call from a friend on the start line saying “where are you?” So I got up immediately and drove there to start 19 minutes late. Still caught up the back markers and the tail runner 😅

[elysiabronte]

genuinely my favourite what i eat in a day video i have seen

[liljemark]

This may have been the only "what I eat in a day video" I was able to watch 🤣 👌

[brokenwarrior]

This was made the mistake of watching in quite late at night and was howling at the prunes bit!! Great stuff

[bradnarraway]

Okay, that sponsor segment though - A+ work, top-notch acting, Yummo's got their money's worth with this sponsorship! 😂Great to see that it's mostly just ... sensible food decisions, eat when you're hungry, make healthy choices 😊I think a lot of people can overcomplicate their nutrition, when mostly it's just making sure your body is fueled up and capable of doing what you need it to do. Great video as always, you two!

I love how marathon diet vlogs are always like *OATS* + fairly normal fare but in healthy formats & high volumes. Then you watch the gym bro diet vlogs, and they’re using micro-scales to measure everything, and downing 55 experimental supplements in hopes their reps increase by 1

[clairhardywynn]

Omg Philly ur absolutely bonkers 😂😂 gr8 vlog as always packed with useful and not so useful 🤣🤣 information both of which are equally as essential as each other for your truly unique video footage - stay nuts 🥜 ❤

[stephenwest]

I absolutely hate going to IKEA. Been twice this year and it made me even grumpier than normal, which, believe me, takes some doing. Loved the vlog though Phily. You have a certain je ne sais quoi, which makes you somewhat unique. I was in shock for a moment with the haircut, but it will grow on me. As it will grow on you again naturally . Fun video 😊❤

[velogoo]

bircher muesli and a sprinkling of granola with almond or cashew milk + fresh fruit is the best
