  • @rewilso3 hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • I love the subtitles.

  • thnx fuckin wrestling coach is makin us run like 3 miles tomoro =(

  • Did they just stop some random guy on the street and ask him his opinion about food and running?

  • damn i knew i shouldnt of drunk a litre of vodka before my first marathon lol

  • Oh, yeah, studies have shown that caffeine does help to metabolize fat during endurance sports like marathoning, so coffee can be good for you. Sodas wreak havoc on your system but you'll burn calories, so who cares. I drank a ton of them when I used to train, now I stay away from them altogether.  Beer never stopped me, just hydrate, that's the key. As you build leg muscle, your mucles will absorb a ton of water.

  • go with 20% fat, 60% carbs, 20% protein. Sometimes I go with less fat and more protein but it's a good mix at that spread.

  • not much nutrition advice here at all. Poor video. go for nutritionally dense foods. you do want to work on upper body strength since it will take quite a jarring during long runs, so protein is important. Cross training with cycling really helps a lot, so eat, eat, eat since you'll be burning calories like crazy. Some beer is okay, he doesn't even seem like a top athlete.

  • soda is deadly!!!!
