What I Eat as a Vegan Athlete | Training for CCC - 11/15 - Harry Runs
Intro: This is a quick summary of What I Eat as a Vegan Athlete | Training for CCC - 11/15 from Harry Runs. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the nutrition plan and progression run today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.
Key Points:
- Focus on whole‑food, plant‑based meals with lots of fruit, veg, oats, sweet potatoes, and healthy fats (nut butters, black‑strap molasses, chia seeds) to fuel high‑altitude training.
- Hydration is crucial: water, watermelon, and Tailwind electrolyte drink keep fluids and electrolytes topped up in the heat.
- Snacks throughout the day (banana‑oat milk smoothie, runnable bar, dried fruit, nuts) keep energy steady without relying on three big meals.
- Training tip: use a weighted pack (≈4 kg) on long runs to simulate race‑day load and strengthen legs and core.
- Progression run example: start at an easy aerobic pace (~4:00 min/km), gradually increase to ~3:10–3:12 min/km for a tempo finish.
Workout Example – “Progression Run”:
- Warm‑up: 10‑15 min easy jog (~4:30 min/km).
- Start the run at an easy aerobic pace (~4:00 min/km) for the first 2 km.
- Gradually increase pace every kilometer, aiming for ~3:30 min/km by halfway.
- Finish the last 2‑3 km at a tempo pace (~3:10–3:12 min/km).
- Cool‑down: 10 min easy jog and stretch.
Closing Note: Give Harry’s vegan fueling plan a try, tweak the paces in your Pacing app, and feel the difference in energy and recovery. Good luck, and enjoy customizing the workout to fit your own training! 🚀
