You are my son's bizarro character... you look, talk and behave just like him. He is a walking stick just like you. I was a college level high jumper (also did well in other field events, disc, javelin, pole, and hurdles 100 and 400) but I had to watch my weight. Walked on as a goalie in a D1 soccer program, I just love distance running now. I am also an MD, cardiologist, by training although I am more into healthy hearts and performance now. Your diet is totally fine, there are a couple tweaks you can make that might help you improve performance and gain some more muscle mass. Off the top of my head, I would add in more protein (I use MyProtein, cheap and clean) and Creatine. If you don't know the data on creatine... read it, or Tube it. You should also add in beets (I accomplish this with a smoothie), dump strawberries, add blueberries. Most importantly, do not read any negative or hater posts. Don't let it touch you. You are awesome.
Theres no way you'd have the energy to run 100 mile weeks if you weren't eating enough. People on the internet are just capitalizing on sensational titles, or they're just ignorant...
One can actually can run very elite and high mileage while not eating enough for longer than you’d think, until you get to a point where your body starts breaking down and eventually wont let you. Allie Ostrander is a great example of this.
You saying vlogging isn't a fun activity makes me appreciate your content 10x more. Seriously, I would not be where I am today if it weren't for you. I hope you keep doing this man. You're the 🐐
Yes, but the point is that he lost over a minute on his 5000 in the past year. That’s not headed in the right direction. Some of that is a lack of specific training and could be regained quickly, but not all of it.
"if this is the hardest thing i have to do today its a good day". wow amen. That is such a blessing and so greatful to say. I am going to say this everyday before I run. I am so blessed to be able to move my body!! god bless you
He’s an athlete. People, including myself, are commenting on his body because they honestly believe that he would improve if he made a small change. There’s nothing improper about such suggestions. It should be considered heartwarming that people care and believe he has potential.
He's doing a physical activity. Physique isn't a vanity thing lmao. It's literally. In every sense of the phrase. The name of the game He's too weak and eating incorrectly to do the volume He's attempting
Today's world. Definetely worth it talking about men's body standards. It's a mental health pandemic. And i speak as a rather in shape person. This guy is an athlete, he is gorgeous and looks quite a nice person. People hating on is just unbelievable
@@giaimeferrigno5144 Going through the comments I'm not seeing any hate. His detractors are just making points about whether his physique is conducive to his athletic goals. I don't know enough to say whether they're right or wrong, but they don't seem hateful either way.
thank you for addressing something a lot of us skinny runners get told. been called a skeleton too many times but now i realize im not the only one dealing with it.
If your goal is to have a very low BMI, so be it. But if you want to be the fastest distance runner that you can be, there is a lower limit to how low that BMI should be, and if you try to go below it your performance will suffer. And for most people, if your BMI falls below about 19.2-19.3, you’re not going to have the energy resources necessary to train and run optimally. Hormone levels get out of whack, recovery suffers, and performance crashes.
Bro your face look totally natural.. I wish I could just run a quarter of the distance you train at.. Keep doing what you're doing bro.. you're an inspiration to many of us.
As a bodybuilder/coach, i absolutely love the 300lb crowd who have absolutely no clue about health/fitness etc yet are keyboard warriors talking down on people who they wish they could be. Keep up the good work man.
I would absolutely recommend that Mr. Wood try gaining 3-5 lbs and see if that positively affects his power and energy levels. No one is suggesting that he should become a 200 lb bodybuilder.
My favorite is the bozos chastising his diet and proceeding to endorse keto and carnivore. 100+ miles basically elicits a high-carb approach. It's almost not an option.
@@andrewcra Why would one need a high-carbohydrate diet to run 100 miles a week? Carbohydrates are not required for volume; they’re required for intensity. If 20 of those 100 miles are in the form of repeat quarters, then Yes, you’re going to need a lot of carbs. But if it’s 100 miles of “marathon training”, then I don’t know why there would be any special need for carbs to be a high percentage of calories.
You look completely normal. Americans, in general, are so overweight/obese that we’ve lost sight of what is actually normal. Especially what is normal for athletes! You are amazing!
Y’all might have a grain of truth to your statements, but the truth is this guy eats a ton and is actually very healthy. Go run a 2:18 marathon then judge an athlete 💀
Common sense tells you If he's running 100 miles a week burning all of that energy and not eating/ refueling he wouldn't have the energy to run as much as he does and he'd probably be in the hospital. Our guy is definitely eating but of course he's not going to gain any weight being a runner.
@@iscrewyouall he run pretty fast s i would say he strain them enough to build more. The same way fat epople have so much more muscle then him even tho they do so much less power training. Surplus calories makes a lot of difference.
@@maros495 His object is not muscle, he's about the objective of his sport... depending on his type of running, muscles could make him feel heavier, and slower than his objective.
@@Fujibayashi50like what are you even talking about, the dudes clearly unwell. He clearly has issues around food because I’ve been through the same crap myself. Comments like these drive the perfectionism in people
Everybody and every body is different… if you aren’t taking care of yours it’ll break down… just block out the negativity and focus on what works for you… your are doing great!!!
Newbie here, but I just want to shout out to you that "You're Rocking" your physique! You are doing something that many of us cannot commit to, and I served in the Marines back in 2001! There are so many videos about Food, binge eating and excessive blogs, etc You're the Healthy example, and your body is "Thanking" you in the long run! Do what makes your Heart Happy!
Nice video, and as everyone else has said, almost all the noise is from people who couldn't do 10% of what you do. Also, just to feel a little less stressed or crunched, I've found it *very* helpful to meal prep for lunch and possibly dinner. Even having something that can last 3-4 dinners is great, and making 4-5 lunches and putting them in glass containers or whatever saves so much time and angst during the busy week. Cheers!
And I am so tired of hearing these "fitness experts" saying that running and cardio "will not make you loose weight", LoL. When I was running everyday I was 160, I stopped running for two years, and went up to 200, now after six months of running again, I am 170
Yeah if you run like an athlete or everyday an hour plus or something you lose weight. But most like overweight people just do like 30 minutes slow workouts and not even everyday lol. That’s what they mean by it won’t make you lose weight. On top of that they’ll eat too much so the weight the lose doing cardio they gain it back eating lol
Bro, you are an absolute inspiration and beast bro thank you! the amount of hate, and ignorance you are receiving is mind-blowing and mind-boggling to me! keep running, and doing what you are doing Adam! I was a collegiate runner myself, and I graduated in post covid 2020, and currently hold my high school's records for distance track and cross country. I remember finding out about you first on one of your Instagram shorts of you running a couple of months back. I've been following you ever since then for some time, I stumbled upon Your UA-cam somehow not too long ago, and I LOVE YOUR UA-cam CONTENT AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!! As a fellow hardcore serious runner, we understand the pain, grit, courage, and determination it takes to get every single mile in that your haters will never comprehend just how much of a badass you are!! ultimately bro I loved that one video where you were talking about your marathon experience, and what I deeply related to in that video is that it's not all about becoming a pro runner it's all about the love for competing, and getting faster itself!! I love and respect all your content Adam, and I am here for you brother! man I do wish we could even run, and train sometime lol as I do want to compete in a marathon myself ohh what a delightful fantasy. I did have one important question though, which I would love to know your opinion on, which is what does your future experience of running look like? like after your done competing etc what more do you plan on doing? because even myself I want to be an inspiration for others through running itself too through telling my own story, and experience of how I have overcome great adversity and trials of life through running, and I plan on taking this goal myself even further for many more years to come. Much love my bro stay blessed! You are well on the right path to success in life with your mindset! I always preach and tell my people that the same work ethic, power, and determination us runners have to be able to put an immense amount of miles in everyday can be well put into all other areas of life!
Thanks, I really appreciate you saying that. 🙏🏼 To answer your question. I want to be a head coach at a university one day to help the up and coming generation of runners. I want to have kids one day to. Who knows how long I’ll be training hard but I’ll keep the content coming 🙏🏼
@@AdamWoodRuns listen. You're running on cortisol and it's leading to muscle catabolism. You're not strong enough for the volume you're attempting period. Your diet is making it worse. You're burning muscle and since your protein intake is so low and it's not animal protein You're causing muscle damage due to choline deficiency. It's not normal to be beat up just from running despite weighing 90 pounds. But more than anything. All the carbs and volume are depleting your thiamine massively and preventing any and all potential muscle gain as well as spiking cortisol even more. Exacerbating it all. More protein. No carbs. Lots of vegetables. Strength train and lay off all that cardio because ultimately weak Is weak. And you can become stronger without losing the ability to run??? Stronger muscles only help you run longer and stronger. You don't need to bulk. Not that you could but you're going to literally die. Just saying
@@abaddonmorningstar8871 ok I’m just now realizing that you might be developmentally challenged. Distance runners want to be able to run long distances at a fast pace. The best way to improve stamina while running is going for consistent, long runs (with occasional rest days). If he doesn’t run enough, his cardiovascular fitness will gradually decrease until he begins regressing in his times during races. If his goal is to improve his times for long distance races, then he needs to be doing an adequate amount of mileage, thus he cannot “do less” or “lay off the cardio”.
Congrats Adam Wood on your dedication to running. As an an avid 65 year old runner and standing 5 ' 10" and 129 pounds, I also get a lot of grief about my weight, but my health is great and my running level is better than 95 % of 20 year old's. BTW - Your nail health says volumes about your general health!
It’s impressive that you maintain such a low BMI… but it probably isn’t optimal for your running. If you were to gain just 5 lbs of muscle and fat, you would go from a BMI of 18.5 to 19.4, and your running would likely improve. Very few athletes operate optimally at BMIs below 19.0. (And yes, that includes distance runners.)
thank you for all the content you post. i have had so many problems in the past with balancing eating good with trying to improve running times. i look forward to every video you make for the great educational and motivational content i get from it. i hope you realize how much of an impact you have made on so many peoples lives with your real videos that don’t glamorize any of the real had work that is the running world when perseverance is the most important thing. it sucks how these people are only taking the time to look on the outside and not on what your videos mean to so many people including me. thank you again and keep up the hard work! everyone here is rooting for you!!!!!
Dude you're killing it! People say the most ignorant things and are never satisfied - lots of runners suffer from an ED because they're convinced they need to be skinnier and people commenting about your physique have no idea how healthy you are or how much you are capable of. I respect you a lot for addressing the ignorance head on and keep leading by example ❤
Running on cortisol and burning muscle with a nutritional deficiency and massive thiamine and choline depletion is not healthy. At all. You know nothing so don't encourage him.
you're doing well brother. I'm from Kenya where some of the best runners come from and most if not all mid to long distance runners have a similar body type. chin up and keep motivating the masses
your body is amazing! it allows you to run so much and that should be worshipped. most peoplemcare too much about looks rather than functionality. keep on doing what you are doing
He's weak. Period. And so are all marathon runners. They burn muscle and run on cortisol. It's not elite. It's not Olympic. Strength training and less cardio would lead to a far more powerful stride and more endurance
@@abaddonmorningstar8871Keep coping bro. We know you don’t like cardio. The human health institute says zone 2 fitness (cardio) is the key for cardiovascular health and longevity. Typical gym bro 😂

Adam first this video is great and interesting but also like... You don't owe an explanation to anybody for entertainment u give us "for free"! Keep it up I'm cheering for u
Don’t listen to the haters Adam, you’re following your dreams and working hard so keep smashing it 👊 My favourite go to breakfast when running lots…. Overnight oats, you can make it anyway you want, it packs a lot of calories, I make it with 80g oats, 200ml whole milk, 50g protein powder, 150g Greek yoghurt, raisins and blueberries 👌
From the suburbs north of NYC....As always, the content of your videos... terrific. You both are teaching us about your experiences running, work, school, and of course, food. Thanks. Two more things...coaching and kids...that's the road to run!!
Hey, man I recently started taking running way more seriously and quit body building... I went from 170 to 148lbs in the past 7 months and everyone from my parents to friends to coworkers will not stop commenting on how "skinny" I've became. Don't pay them any mind my guy, honestly the TRUTH IS that 99% of people know nothing about competitive running at all and everything surrounding it including physique and efficiency. I get it, but I would take the satisfaction I get from PR's and a good race over my vain bodybuilding physique any day!!! You're a beast btw.
Doing what to myself exactly? I ran trackin high school and college and now I've gotten back into running and racing. I love seeing my PR's drop like crazy and feel healthier than ever more so when I lifted for aesthetic reasons...@@The_Conspiracy_Analyst
Doing what to myself exactly? I ran track in high school and then D3 in college and now I've picked running and racing back up. I love destroying my PRs and I'm the healthiest I've ever felt. I religiously went to the gym for 7+ years for aesthetic reasons but I find running way more rewarding...@@The_Conspiracy_Analyst
What exactly am I doing to myself? Also I mean... I ran track in high school at the state level and D3 in college. But what's wrong with going all in on things you enjoy doing ie. (hobbies)?@@The_Conspiracy_Analyst
love your positive mindset. you really don't seem fazed at all by the comments, and that's great. some day people will learn that we don't do everything to appeal to others, but for ourselves and to be happy :)
You inspire me to keep moving. I have rheumatoid arthritis and my joints can do a snail’s pace jog on good days. I miss the days I could run without these worries.
I've never been able to find a good example of my starting physique for upper body bc I never took pictures. This is literally 99% accurate thank you so much. Your legs look nutty though bro, you do you💯💪🏼
He has the body type of an elite runner, which he is. If you ever watch the olympics marathon races the majority of runners look quite similar. Keep grinding man, forget the haters.
Hey - forget the haters. That being said, have you thought about prepping? The problem with figuring it all out on the fly is you can miss important nutrients or sacrifice quality for convenience. I’m starting to prep 20 meals on Sundays for my wife and I to eat during the week. It’s been going well. Might help when you’re on the move and need to eat good food quickly.
As a runner, who served as well. Protein is the key, followed by Carbs. Your body needs alot of protein to help with recovery. I did morning PT at 0600, ran 4 miles after at 70-85 percent race pace, did 15 sets of pull ups, 10 sets of push ups, and 20 mins of core work. I found the key to be protein, alot, I mean carbs helped but to feel fresh protein is needed.
6:12 a very short 'anabolic window' has been mostly disproven. I think the actual window goes a few hours after a workout, and it can be negated by protein pre-workout. I do always get a shake or protein bar in though, just because I always feel somewhat hungry/empty after. Also mica is not weird. I like seeing someone enjoy their food
Hope you got some good exposure from the video I made. And bodybuilders saying you should gain weight and critiquing your strength is the same as if you were to critique their size and running ability; completely irrelevant. I rarely use this account so haven't commented before, but love the content
@@Faine212 you do realize carbs are the primary nutrient consumed when running which is why is diet is predominantly carbs right? and he had plenty of other nutrients
I think that you look amazing, and know that you must be eating enough for your body to sustain the level of training that you do each week. Keep up the great work.
Honestly, as hard as it, just gotta ignore the negative comments and keep focusing on you! At the end of the day, you know how to fuel your training and how you feel/perform best and that is all that matters!!☺️ You are a huge inspiration to me and so many others! Keep doing what you are doing🔥🏃
most people that critique another person are generally insecure within themselves, that and they do not know anything about distance running and physique types
Recommendations to eat more and gain a (small) amount of weight are not negative comments; they’re positive ones. They’re coming from people who want to see you improve.
I started out with gym bro style training, became knowledged on training & nutrition. Now a kettlebell / calisthenics head. Appreciate looking at other walks of fitness & the life style that surrounds it
This man is doing something most ppl can never achieve. Which is being GREAT at something, (phenomenal, excellent, etc) bro has dedicated his time to one thing and stayed persistent with it now he’s in the top 1% of runners. Props to him , f the haters
@@d_efitones okay. Can Dave’s Killer Bread be both a carb source and a protein source too? I mean with two slices of bread you get 10 grams of protein! Peanut Butter should not be considered a protein source just because it HAS protein in it.
@SevenEllen thats not true. Anorexic people don't eat a lot, but its really a BMI thing. If your BMI is low enough AND you have a habit of eating too little, then you can be considered anorexic. If anorexic people didn't eat at all then they would die in a month. There are anorexic people that live to be old. It really just means they are eating barely enough to stay alive
why are you just eating "a little bit of protein" when you exercise so much and that thin? That much exercise plus the bodies own breakdown needs a lot of protein to rebuild and repair. You are not eating nowhere near enough to rebuild and repair all the damage caused by exercise. Banana, fruit, yoghurt does zilch to repair muscles, ligaments joints. You need 3 protein rich meals a day.
Bro, he runs sub 5 minute miles. Can you do that? His body is a well oiled, specialized machine. If he really wasn't getting enough protein, his body would be consuming the muscles in his body that allowed him to run like that, and he wouldn't be hitting elite athlete levels of performance.
I'm training for a half marathon with similar track times as him (2:27 800m, 65s 400m) but I weigh much more than him at 180 lbs and eat 1-2 meals a day low carb keto. It's interesting to see how runners can be of all body types.
As long as your full physicals are normal and you're coordinating with your nutritionist and doctor you should be good. Peace and blessings. I have a run workout program as well. Very motivating video ✌🏿
Disordered eating is a really big problem in the long-distance running community. While it may not apply to you, its definitely something that needs to be talked about more. We really need someone like @AbbeysKitchen to weigh in
Some people are naturally skinny. As long as the person is not anorexic which he is not there should be no concern. This guy is super active and maintains a healthy BMI which shows. Just because he is skinny does not mean he does not eat. He can have a very high metabolism. And being skinny and healthy is better than being fat.
I'm 60 and just ran 3:08 at CIM. Until they break 2:18, they can shut the hell up! That's FAF! I can relate on the eating side though. Always tryn to eat a bunch of meals since I don't eat a huge amount of food at a time. Still working full time and hitting 60-75mpw. I'm guessing most of these people couldn't even hang with me for a week let alone all that you do. Keep grinding!
Nonsense. They're top level because they train for it. There's more than enough skinny people who couldn't run even 3k without training. If you try to become top level, losing weight will be the smallest issue.
@@MrSeedi76 It's simple physics, biology, and natural selection. You'll NEVER see a 240-pounder run a 2:05 marathon.....or even a 3:05....no matter how hard they train. The heart and lungs of a 150-pound 6-foot male are the same size as a 240-pound 6-foot male. So are all the other internal organs. Heat dissipation is the number-one limiting factor in running a marathon and thinner bodies shed heat far easier. Excess heat raises heart rate and lowers VO2 max. Each step with that 90 extra pounds taxes every resource of the body exponentially.

There's also a reality in that an athlete needs MUCH more calories than an average person, especially somebody like you, who has such high exertion on a daily basis. Being naturally "skinny" isn't an excuse for constantly being in a calorie deficit. Your problem isn't in the amount of times you eat, it's the amount of calories you're eating. You're eating the same amount of calories as a sedentary person should, which isn't enough for an athlete. Problem is, long distance runners need to keep their weight low for competition. Let's not pretend that it's a healthy approach. Similar to fighters and wrestlers, who weight cut for fights. It's not healthy, but it's part of the game.
You sure didn't add anything to the conversation. You responded to the "but muh healthy weight" crowd with the last part of your second paragraph: "It's part of the game".
@@gaelr.s7123 Ok, so what am I supposed to say other than "c'est la vie"? Am I supposed to tell a grown man that the way he's living is unhealthy, then ask him to stop pursuing his dream? I added an explanation of his eating habits. That's adding more to the conversation than YOU did just now with your reply. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, huh?! Hypocrite.
@@gaelr.s7123 So you call me out, claiming I'm adding "adding nothing to the conversation"? Then when when I defend myself, proving that I've added a lot to the conversation than you have, you then try to gaslight me? It wasn't "that serious" until YOU decided to make it serious. Next time, shut up if you don't have an opinion on a subject, instead of commenting just to provoke people.
You can tell just by looking at your face and neck that your healthy and have some muscle tone. People are too accustomed to seeing people that are overweight or on steroids these days
Adam is the perfect human body type and what we were all meant to look like. Processed foods and obesity really screwed up our perception on what normal looks like.
You body is what you train for. My man is optimized for running thats absolutely awesome and cooler then 100% of losers telling others that their way of like is objectively correct.
Yeah and for mine I train 2 times a week for 30 to max 45 minutes. I like efficiently and smart training not at the cost of any biology causing degeneration 😉 I am optimized for total stronger biology. Also most people start sports in order to chase health, not weakness and destroying your body in the process because of ego. I would never support folk destroying themselves. He doesnt run, he walks just a bit faster than regular folks. Sprinters run 🤣
Don't listen to people about food, #Mary Cain....................... Alberto destroyed Mary Cain and that is what people sending negative comments about your body are trying to do to you.
As a new viewer of your channel, I wanted to share my first impression of this video. The video should be a "what I eat in a day". However, it is tough to see what you actually ate, because the food is not being filmed that much, except for a brief moment. At 6:40, it briefly shows some food. Take a blink and you will miss it. That's why it is the most replayed part in the video, I believe. At 10:02, it shows some cinnamon rolls or whatever those are. I have no clue, so maybe some 'introduction' to a product like that could be nice, as I am not sure everyone is familiar with stuff like that. I've personally never heard of some 'cinnamon rolls', which I barely could read from the video's still images. The protein drink at 6:16 is upside down, so again, viewers are curious to see what are you waving there, but it is tough to read the name or the flavour. So, the video itself is pretty interesting and entertaining, but some critical parts were slightly unclear for a viewer like me, who just wanted to see what a 'skeleton' eats in a day as that was the reason to click and watch the video.
@@AdamWoodRuns I love your channel , and think your very motivational. However in my experience my bloodwork was very unreliable, and there is an agenda to keep men weak Adam I wouldn't trust health organisations. You can choose the path you want in life, but at least experiment with other paths, so you don't have any regrets when your older.

I am also an MD, cardiologist, by training although I am more into healthy hearts and performance now.
Your diet is totally fine, there are a couple tweaks you can make that might help you improve performance and gain some more muscle mass. Off the top of my head, I would add in more protein (I use MyProtein, cheap and clean) and Creatine. If you don't know the data on creatine... read it, or Tube it.

Yes, but the point is that he lost over a minute on his 5000 in the past year. That’s not headed in the right direction. Some of that is a lack of specific training and could be regained quickly, but not all of it.
Bekele has bubbled up hunks of meat for quads, Solinsky has a broad shoulder and defined chest, and those guys ran 12:37 and sub-27:00
Elite twig build.

You guys are an amazing team! Thanks for capturing the footage for us 😊
You were right about the watching people eat food thing
I agree with you I love watching ppl eat lol
"if this is the hardest thing i have to do today its a good day". wow amen. That is such a blessing and so greatful to say. I am going to say this everyday before I run. I am so blessed to be able to move my body!! god bless you
it's wild to me how comfortable people feel commenting on people's bodies - keep up the good work with training!
He’s an athlete. People, including myself, are commenting on his body because they honestly believe that he would improve if he made a small change. There’s nothing improper about such suggestions. It should be considered heartwarming that people care and believe he has potential.

@@peacemaster8117Did you not read the reply above the one you're replying to?
thank you for addressing something a lot of us skinny runners get told. been called a skeleton too many times but now i realize im not the only one dealing with it.
If your goal is to have a very low BMI, so be it. But if you want to be the fastest distance runner that you can be, there is a lower limit to how low that BMI should be, and if you try to go below it your performance will suffer. And for most people, if your BMI falls below about 19.2-19.3, you’re not going to have the energy resources necessary to train and run optimally. Hormone levels get out of whack, recovery suffers, and performance crashes.
I find it funny that no one tells a person they are fat only if they are skinny
All long distance runner are slim.
Some of these people cant even walk up a flight of stairs without being winded 😂
LOL
Or they're just normal. Dismissing all valid criticism as "well you must be overweight" is a bizarre strawman.

No one is suggesting that he should become a 200 lb bodybuilder.
My favorite is the bozos chastising his diet and proceeding to endorse keto and carnivore. 100+ miles basically elicits a high-carb approach. It's almost not an option.
@@andrewcra Why would one need a high-carbohydrate diet to run 100 miles a week? Carbohydrates are not required for volume; they’re required for intensity. If 20 of those 100 miles are in the form of repeat quarters, then Yes, you’re going to need a lot of carbs. But if it’s 100 miles of “marathon training”, then I don’t know why there would be any special need for carbs to be a high percentage of calories.

Newbie here, but I just want to shout out to you that "You're Rocking" your physique!
You are doing something that many of us cannot commit to, and I served in the Marines back in 2001!
There are so many videos about Food, binge eating and excessive blogs, etc
You're the Healthy example, and your body is "Thanking" you in the long run!
Do what makes your Heart Happy!
0:28 im in the thick of it everybody knows
Nice video, and as everyone else has said, almost all the noise is from people who couldn't do 10% of what you do. Also, just to feel a little less stressed or crunched, I've found it *very* helpful to meal prep for lunch and possibly dinner. Even having something that can last 3-4 dinners is great, and making 4-5 lunches and putting them in glass containers or whatever saves so much time and angst during the busy week. Cheers!
And I am so tired of hearing these "fitness experts" saying that running and cardio "will not make you loose weight", LoL. When I was running everyday I was 160, I stopped running for two years, and went up to 200, now after six months of running again, I am 170
Yeah if you run like an athlete or everyday an hour plus or something you lose weight. But most like overweight people just do like 30 minutes slow workouts and not even everyday lol. That’s what they mean by it won’t make you lose weight. On top of that they’ll eat too much so the weight the lose doing cardio they gain it back eating lol
Can skinny ran everyday?
Bro, you are an absolute inspiration and beast bro thank you! the amount of hate, and ignorance you are receiving is mind-blowing and mind-boggling to me! keep running, and doing what you are doing Adam! I was a collegiate runner myself, and I graduated in post covid 2020, and currently hold my high school's records for distance track and cross country. I remember finding out about you first on one of your Instagram shorts of you running a couple of months back.
I've been following you ever since then for some time, I stumbled upon Your UA-cam somehow not too long ago, and I LOVE YOUR UA-cam CONTENT AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!! As a fellow hardcore serious runner, we understand the pain, grit, courage, and determination it takes to get every single mile in that your haters will never comprehend just how much of a badass you are!!
ultimately bro I loved that one video where you were talking about your marathon experience, and what I deeply related to in that video is that it's not all about becoming a pro runner it's all about the love for competing, and getting faster itself!! I love and respect all your content Adam, and I am here for you brother! man I do wish we could even run, and train sometime lol as I do want to compete in a marathon myself ohh what a delightful fantasy.
I did have one important question though, which I would love to know your opinion on, which is what does your future experience of running look like? like after your done competing etc what more do you plan on doing? because even myself I want to be an inspiration for others through running itself too through telling my own story, and experience of how I have overcome great adversity and trials of life through running, and I plan on taking this goal myself even further for many more years to come.
Much love my bro stay blessed! You are well on the right path to success in life with your mindset! I always preach and tell my people that the same work ethic, power, and determination us runners have to be able to put an immense amount of miles in everyday can be well put into all other areas of life!
Thanks, I really appreciate you saying that. 🙏🏼 To answer your question. I want to be a head coach at a university one day to help the up and coming generation of runners. I want to have kids one day to. Who knows how long I’ll be training hard but I’ll keep the content coming 🙏🏼
@@AdamWoodRuns listen. You're running on cortisol and it's leading to muscle catabolism. You're not strong enough for the volume you're attempting period.
Your diet is making it worse.
You're burning muscle and since your protein intake is so low and it's not animal protein You're causing muscle damage due to choline deficiency.
It's not normal to be beat up just from running despite weighing 90 pounds.
But more than anything. All the carbs and volume are depleting your thiamine massively and preventing any and all potential muscle gain as well as spiking cortisol even more. Exacerbating it all.
More protein. No carbs. Lots of vegetables. Strength train and lay off all that cardio because ultimately weak Is weak. And you can become stronger without losing the ability to run???
Stronger muscles only help you run longer and stronger.
You don't need to bulk. Not that you could but you're going to literally die. Just saying
@@abaddonmorningstar8871 hes a distance runner how is he supposed to "lay off the cardio"
@@Himothy_Bobbins by doing less? God damn lmao. Use the slightest bit of intelligence
@@abaddonmorningstar8871 ok I’m just now realizing that you might be developmentally challenged. Distance runners want to be able to run long distances at a fast pace. The best way to improve stamina while running is going for consistent, long runs (with occasional rest days). If he doesn’t run enough, his cardiovascular fitness will gradually decrease until he begins regressing in his times during races. If his goal is to improve his times for long distance races, then he needs to be doing an adequate amount of mileage, thus he cannot “do less” or “lay off the cardio”.
I love your content Adam, always stay true to yourself as a runner as long as it's healthy and authentic!
Congrats Adam Wood on your dedication to running. As an an avid 65 year old runner and standing 5 ' 10" and 129 pounds, I also get a lot of grief about my weight, but my health is great and my running level is better than 95 % of 20 year old's. BTW - Your nail health says volumes about your general health!
It’s impressive that you maintain such a low BMI… but it probably isn’t optimal for your running. If you were to gain just 5 lbs of muscle and fat, you would go from a BMI of 18.5 to 19.4, and your running would likely improve. Very few athletes operate optimally at BMIs below 19.0. (And yes, that includes distance runners.)
@@jameshegeman5660 finally someone here with a functional brain.

Running on cortisol and burning muscle with a nutritional deficiency and massive thiamine and choline depletion is not healthy. At all.

Hey, man I recently started taking running way more seriously and quit body building... I went from 170 to 148lbs in the past 7 months and everyone from my parents to friends to coworkers will not stop commenting on how "skinny" I've became. Don't pay them any mind my guy, honestly the TRUTH IS that 99% of people know nothing about competitive running at all and everything surrounding it including physique and efficiency. I get it, but I would take the satisfaction I get from PR's and a good race over my vain bodybuilding physique any day!!! You're a beast btw.
There's no point in doing this to yourself as a hobby jogger. And if you don't know where that term comes from, you're definitely a hobby jogger

He has the body type of an elite runner, which he is. If you ever watch the olympics marathon races the majority of runners look quite similar. Keep grinding man, forget the haters.
Hey - forget the haters. That being said, have you thought about prepping? The problem with figuring it all out on the fly is you can miss important nutrients or sacrifice quality for convenience. I’m starting to prep 20 meals on Sundays for my wife and I to eat during the week. It’s been going well. Might help when you’re on the move and need to eat good food quickly.
As a runner, who served as well. Protein is the key, followed by Carbs. Your body needs alot of protein to help with recovery. I did morning PT at 0600, ran 4 miles after at 70-85 percent race pace, did 15 sets of pull ups, 10 sets of push ups, and 20 mins of core work. I found the key to be protein, alot, I mean carbs helped but to feel fresh protein is needed.
It's the ones who lack knowledge that has the most negative things to say about someone.
Get that work in Mr. Woods!! Good job and Good luck!!
Lack knowledge lol, if you watched the video he said himself he doesn’t track calories
Do you and him in the same boat brain rot
Skinny Mahomes 😂 love your content bro & love your work ethic. Just earned yourself a sub.
6:12 a very short 'anabolic window' has been mostly disproven. I think the actual window goes a few hours after a workout, and it can be negated by protein pre-workout. I do always get a shake or protein bar in though, just because I always feel somewhat hungry/empty after.
Also mica is not weird. I like seeing someone enjoy their food
Yeah up to five hours I think
Hope you got some good exposure from the video I made. And bodybuilders saying you should gain weight and critiquing your strength is the same as if you were to critique their size and running ability; completely irrelevant. I rarely use this account so haven't commented before, but love the content
My guy, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone. You don't owe them money and they don't pay your bills, so just do you!
Keep on keeping on.
balanced and real life meals, keep it up!!!
How is this balanced. he eats 95% carbs. Where is the nutrients
@@Faine212 you do realize carbs are the primary nutrient consumed when running which is why is diet is predominantly carbs right? and he had plenty of other nutrients
I think that you look amazing, and know that you must be eating enough for your body to sustain the level of training that you do each week. Keep up the great work.
Honestly, as hard as it, just gotta ignore the negative comments and keep focusing on you! At the end of the day, you know how to fuel your training and how you feel/perform best and that is all that matters!!☺️
You are a huge inspiration to me and so many others! Keep doing what you are doing🔥🏃
most people that critique another person are generally insecure within themselves, that and they do not know anything about distance running and physique types
Recommendations to eat more and gain a (small) amount of weight are not negative comments; they’re positive ones. They’re coming from people who want to see you improve.
I started out with gym bro style training, became knowledged on training & nutrition. Now a kettlebell / calisthenics head. Appreciate looking at other walks of fitness & the life style that surrounds it
Much respect to you, was really curious about your diet actually. Best of luck for the 5k!

What I learned: Runners view peanut butter as a protein source. Weight lifters view peanut butter as a fat source.
it can be both. usually weight lifters eat way more than runners to maintain a certain weight
@@d_efitones okay. Can Dave’s Killer Bread be both a carb source and a protein source too? I mean with two slices of bread you get 10 grams of protein!
Peanut Butter should not be considered a protein source just because it HAS protein in it.

Anorexia is a life crushing disease. I hope this young man gets the help he needs before its too late for him
@SevenEllen thats not true. Anorexic people don't eat a lot, but its really a BMI thing. If your BMI is low enough AND you have a habit of eating too little, then you can be considered anorexic. If anorexic people didn't eat at all then they would die in a month. There are anorexic people that live to be old. It really just means they are eating barely enough to stay alive
why are you just eating "a little bit of protein" when you exercise so much and that thin? That much exercise plus the bodies own breakdown needs a lot of protein to rebuild and repair. You are not eating nowhere near enough to rebuild and repair all the damage caused by exercise. Banana, fruit, yoghurt does zilch to repair muscles, ligaments joints. You need 3 protein rich meals a day.
Bro, he runs sub 5 minute miles. Can you do that? His body is a well oiled, specialized machine.
If he really wasn't getting enough protein, his body would be consuming the muscles in his body that allowed him to run like that, and he wouldn't be hitting elite athlete levels of performance.
I'm training for a half marathon with similar track times as him (2:27 800m, 65s 400m) but I weigh much more than him at 180 lbs and eat 1-2 meals a day low carb keto. It's interesting to see how runners can be of all body types.
bro your hair is so cool
As long as your full physicals are normal and you're coordinating with your nutritionist and doctor you should be good. Peace and blessings. I have a run workout program as well. Very motivating video ✌🏿
Disordered eating is a really big problem in the long-distance running community. While it may not apply to you, its definitely something that needs to be talked about more. We really need someone like @AbbeysKitchen to weigh in
Abbey has a strong bias about what is a healthy diet because she has a history of an eating disorder herself.
Well done. Top athlete. Keep going.
he looks like a stabby teen with eating disorders
Some people are naturally skinny. As long as the person is not anorexic which he is not there should be no concern. This guy is super active and maintains a healthy BMI which shows. Just because he is skinny does not mean he does not eat. He can have a very high metabolism. And being skinny and healthy is better than being fat.
I'm 60 and just ran 3:08 at CIM. Until they break 2:18, they can shut the hell up! That's FAF! I can relate on the eating side though. Always tryn to eat a bunch of meals since I don't eat a huge amount of food at a time. Still working full time and hitting 60-75mpw. I'm guessing most of these people couldn't even hang with me for a week let alone all that you do. Keep grinding!
Elite distance runners aren't super thin because they're top-level runners, they're top-level runners because they're super thin.
Nonsense. They're top level because they train for it. There's more than enough skinny people who couldn't run even 3k without training.
If you try to become top level, losing weight will be the smallest issue.
@@MrSeedi76 It's simple physics, biology, and natural selection. You'll NEVER see a 240-pounder run a 2:05 marathon.....or even a 3:05....no matter how hard they train. The heart and lungs of a 150-pound 6-foot male are the same size as a 240-pound 6-foot male. So are all the other internal organs. Heat dissipation is the number-one limiting factor in running a marathon and thinner bodies shed heat far easier. Excess heat raises heart rate and lowers VO2 max. Each step with that 90 extra pounds taxes every resource of the body exponentially.

There's also a reality in that an athlete needs MUCH more calories than an average person, especially somebody like you, who has such high exertion on a daily basis. Being naturally "skinny" isn't an excuse for constantly being in a calorie deficit. Your problem isn't in the amount of times you eat, it's the amount of calories you're eating. You're eating the same amount of calories as a sedentary person should, which isn't enough for an athlete.
Problem is, long distance runners need to keep their weight low for competition. Let's not pretend that it's a healthy approach. Similar to fighters and wrestlers, who weight cut for fights. It's not healthy, but it's part of the game.

Title - What I eat in a day... Video 90% running and 10% food
That’s why i always say sociale media is messed up. Don’t worry about what people say you just go and achieve your goals young fella 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
You body is what you train for. My man is optimized for running thats absolutely awesome and cooler then 100% of losers telling others that their way of like is objectively correct.
Yeah and for mine I train 2 times a week for 30 to max 45 minutes. I like efficiently and smart training not at the cost of any biology causing degeneration 😉
I am optimized for total stronger biology.
Also most people start sports in order to chase health, not weakness and destroying your body in the process because of ego.
I would never support folk destroying themselves.
He doesnt run, he walks just a bit faster than regular folks. Sprinters run 🤣
@@zengerz you sure did show them your 2 functioning neurons with that comment, bud.
>Sprinters run
Holy sh¡t! 0 iq
Thumbnail caught my attention 😂 Keep doing you man. People talking shit would die trying to run those miles. Running and endurance is no joke.
Don't listen to people about food, #Mary Cain....................... Alberto destroyed Mary Cain and that is what people sending negative comments about your body are trying to do to you.
love this content!
bro you are eating close to nothing and are training a lot, nov wonder you're a twig
As a new viewer of your channel, I wanted to share my first impression of this video. The video should be a "what I eat in a day". However, it is tough to see what you actually ate, because the food is not being filmed that much, except for a brief moment.
At 6:40, it briefly shows some food. Take a blink and you will miss it. That's why it is the most replayed part in the video, I believe. At 10:02, it shows some cinnamon rolls or whatever those are. I have no clue, so maybe some 'introduction' to a product like that could be nice, as I am not sure everyone is familiar with stuff like that. I've personally never heard of some 'cinnamon rolls', which I barely could read from the video's still images. The protein drink at 6:16 is upside down, so again, viewers are curious to see what are you waving there, but it is tough to read the name or the flavour.
So, the video itself is pretty interesting and entertaining, but some critical parts were slightly unclear for a viewer like me, who just wanted to see what a 'skeleton' eats in a day as that was the reason to click and watch the video.
I respect the hustle, and I'm skinny myself.
But at the same time I' m worried about your health bro..
Lol dont be. Get my blood checked regularly and got 0 deficiency 🤫
@@AdamWoodRuns I love your channel , and think your very motivational.
However in my experience my bloodwork was very unreliable, and there is an agenda to keep men weak Adam I wouldn't trust health organisations.
You can choose the path you want in life, but at least experiment with other paths, so you don't have any regrets when your older.
Why? He’s healthier than 99.5% of the population? Did we ever consider that compared to previous generations and countries, Americans are big?
I bet you feel really good every day. High levels of cardio releases a lot of endorphins, and cardiovascular fitness feels like a superpower--you can do very intense work and never get winded.
Yeah you don’t eat.
Love you and your wife’s video’s Y’all r super great and very inspiring. I’m a granny and someday what to be like y’all one day. Keep it up!!!😊thanks for sharing
When normal sedentary people dont realise you need a physical archetype for a specific sport
