The fitness industry messed up the public perception of eating healthy, and I'm so glad to see influencers like you getting good information out there emphasizing eating what works for you and providing the fuel that you need

I don’t think anyone has ever hated me more than the lady on the plane lol

"Underfueling is the worst thing you can do for your body"

I know this my heart because I have gone through this during many of my runs. I thought that I ate enough then when we have after-school practice and I run many miles I feel underfueled and low on energy. I sucks really bad, so I have to prepare and make sure I am properly fueled beforehand.

Allie leaves for one day and Spencer’s incapable of breakfast just like that lol

Thank you for this, I'm working out daily (lifting weights plus yoga plus dancing and walking around for 3hours minimum lol) and I know I have to eat about 3500kcal but I constantly overestimate what I have eaten. I'm scared of eating too much due to an ED in the past, but this motivates me to fuel myself properly!

hi :)

I’ve watched this video a couple of times because it is super truthful. I am 16 and do around 3 hours of training most days (running cross training and strength) but have struggled with an eating disorder for 4 years. It’s really preventing me from achieving my potential in running. The message of this videos gives me a little bit of external reassurance that eating more will help me and not be bad.

Thank You :)

Actually so motivating to watch this. was procrastinating on going out for my workout but now I'm pumped to chase my goals from watching this!!

[salemal-murisi]

nah, the love you put into your videos now again is why im back here, this type of videos are bangers, not gonna lie

[Takhii]

Glad I found a person who's just as crazy about running as I am. Ty for the upload!

[remembermichael]

I did a double take when I saw you ran green lake. We used to run the lake for XC practice in high school. Just getting into running again so thanks for the video! Cheers.

My buddy ran 13:57 off Taco Bell and Wendy’s. If you put in the work / mileage and you’re young you’re gonna run fast 🤣 you eat plenty healthy enough IMO

I’ve just started marathon prep, 3 weeks in, my god I’m hungry all the time at the moment. I eat well and a lot but I’m hoping that my body adjusts. I’m training twice per day most days so I’m just fuelling the best I can but don’t want to overdo it.

You’re pretty much the same size my dad was my entire life, even at 87 he was eating the way you do and never gained weight. I was blessed with his metabolism.

As a sprinter it's basically a chore to about junk food in general. During January I has a habit of under eating but I thought it's just natural for a light diet. On a protein diet now and seeing you eat all this as a fellow runner makes me more comfortable to eat comfort foods to up my calorie intake.

These videos as of late are down right hilarious, good job on the edit.

[brunobiega]

Recommend watching Stephen Scullion’s vids about nutrition

[galvalalo]

Loved youy video man you are the first honest runner i ever saw telling the true words! I struggled with low energy while running many times of my running sessions, and started to notice that i felt better when i had eat more the day before! Thank you for this honest video and opinions dude

[alisonsezonov]

I think this is a true issue. Serious runners or athletes whether amateur or pro, tend to be type a ‘overachiever type people. ‘ eating more can feel like we are letting go. I have eaten more, and as well as losing weight and feeling full, it feels weird eating more. You do perform better eating more. There is still a strong culture of ‘being skinny’ makes you faster as an endurance athlete, which i think scares people from running.

If you haven't tried it yet to resolve tummy trouble .. A lot of people swear by Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar Prebiotic Apple Cinnamon flavor. Just a couple of ounces of the stuff mixed with six to eight ounces of water, once a day, is enough to make a huge difference.

This is my problem as well I also box so I got days where I run in the morning, and train boxing after work so I burn thousands of calories, and don’t eat enough, but at the same time though such I’m in a calorie deficit I’m pretty lean, low body fat percentage, but I definitely need to eat more so I feel more energized, and better.
