Intro This summarizes EVERYTHING I Eat As A 2:24 MARATHON RUNNER | Project 30:30 EP:4 from Ben Is Running. The core takeaways so you can put training and eating into action. Watch the full video for the rest.
Key points:
- Training around 100 miles (160 km) per week needs steady carbs, consistent hydration, and a supplement routine.
- Morning: tea, a flat white, then porridge with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
- 2 to 3 electrolyte tablets daily, especially when it’s hot.
- Supplements: CBD and turmeric, cordyceps, calcium for bones, vitamin C, and protein-rich snacks.
- Treat nutrition as fuel. Carbs power running, protein rebuilds muscle, vegetables deliver micronutrients.
- Day to day: refuel within 30 minutes of a run. Light on sweets and booze. Simple snacks like fruit, chocolate occasionally.
Workout example:
- Warm-up: 4 km easy.
- Main set: 6 x 1 mile (around 1600 m) repeats.
- Reps 1 to 5 at 10K pace (slow it down if hot).
- Rep 6 at 5K pace, like the finish line.
- Aim for around 3:00 per km (about 5 min per mile) on the final rep.
- Cool-down: 4 km easy.
- Total: around 18 km.
- After the session: another electrolyte tablet.
