    I was rooting for Sifan Hassan since seeing her fall and still manage to win her heat in Tokyo 2020, and in general her amazing performance in that olympics. London did not disappoint! I'm pumped to see how Copenhagen goes, it's so cool to see vids like this, and to learn how elites prepare for the big day!!

    I get marathon hunger off 40-50miles per week, so I can't even imagine how it is with 90-100! I'm a big fan of polenta as a carb base- it can pair with almost anything.

    I always have to go (1 and/or 2) before any event, regular workout or race. I think I've figured out that I was over-hydrating right before running long distances because I was always having to pee after less than an hour as well. I cut back on the pre-run hydration (made more concentrated electrolytes and pre-workout) and that seems to have done the trick. Good luck!

    It is believed that tea can reduce absorption of dietary iron if drunk at mealtimes. Conversely vit C rich foods can improve iron absorption. Worth thinking about if prone to anaemia.

    I can honestly say I have only asked this question after reading the title of the video, lol. Thanks for the content!
    I used to get a bit too strict about ending runs on whole numbers, then I changed my units of measure to 'Lockes'. Pretty much, I take the distance and arbitrarily apply a whole number to it, then pay attention to the time per unit. You always get a whole number that way.

    Ahhh, that magical moment early in a run when you realize that your tank is not quite empty. I often have this issue. I either find the nearest tree or try to hold it until the end of my run (if the run is not too long).
    I personally prefer maple syrup on my oatmeal and marinara sauce with grilled chicken with my pasta.
    Good luck in Copenhagen!

    • @PhilyBowden

  • @TomLeeCycling
    @TomLeeCycling Рік тому

    4:19 sorry, this advice is a bit outdated and wrong. Post excercise fueling for endurance athletes should prioritise calories, then carbs, then protein. Calories (as any fuel to aid in recovery is more beneficial than nothing), carbs (to replenish glycogen stores stores that were depleted during training) and finally protein (to aid in muscle protein synthesis). Therefore protein is beneficial, but carbohydrates should be a higher priority. Therefore ideally you would have a combination of carbs and protein, and having both doesn't significantly negatively impact the absorption of the other macronutrient. There would be nothing wrong with adding milk to the protein powder (rather than just water), and the extra calories would be further beneficial for the recovery process realistically.
    The '30 minute' anabolic window really isn't as significant as initially postulated. Yes, immediately consuming post workout nutrition is more beneficial than having waited three hours. However, these effects are again negligible, so cramming in food within 30 min is not essential, so long as the calories do get consumed within a sensible time period after training.
    Not wanting to be a dick, I've just heard you mention these points a few times before when they're not strictly true. I've been enjoying your videos, and good luck at the marathon at the weekend. 😊

    Hi Phily! When you eat pasta for dinner what kind of sauce(s) do you cook it in? Last run I had a clean ingredient marinara sauce but when I ran the next morning my stomach hurt really bad and I’m not sure if it was from the acidity in the marinara?

    Phily, I have the exact same problem about 15-20 mins into my run, literally every run. I contributed it to post 3 pregnancies, because I don’t remember really having this problem years ago when I ran collegiately. I’m training for my first marathon, any suggestion on how to handle this? I’m worried it will slow down my times if I have to keep running off the race to find places in the woods. 😂😂
