먹튀검증: My unlikely quest to ultra-marathon greatness is a new book by the world-renowned ultramarathoner Scott Jurek and accomplished author Steve Friedman. It was released last June by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. I really enjoyed this book and found some interesting (and not so much new) information regarding diet and running. In fact, the book is more of a personal story of Jurek's journey, rather than a run guide or schedule. However, I can say that this book provides a lot of insight on how to eat and run.
Eating right and following a proper vegan diet are essential to a successful ultramarathon. I didn't know that eating right for ultramarathons was as important as eating right for regular long-distance running, but it is indeed essential. You'll find out why in this book.
After years of running, I was shocked to see my body deteriorate over time, even with intense exercise. I began to gain weight, and had trouble finding clothes that fit properly. The funny thing is, when I began running, I always thought I'd lose weight running. Now, after 50 miles in a marathon, I was shocked at how much I was gaining fat!
So, when I started doing trail running, I did it mainly for fitness. That's all, really, because trail running has a ton of other benefits besides fitness. For example, I love the outdoors and enjoy living in nature. I also enjoy hitting the trails and meeting new people. The beauty of marathons is the camaraderie you meet along the way.
However, for ultra-distance running and ultra endurance events, nutrition is critical. There are certain foods that will give you the energy to run and, in turn, help you to run longer. There are certain foods that will help you recover easier after a workout, and there are other foods that will keep you going for an entire ultra race. In fact, there are even foods that increase your muscle strength, which will also aid you in your efforts.
Eating a proper diet while running is no different than anything you would do during any other type of physical activity. Start your day with a good breakfast. If you like toast, eat the toast. Eggs are great, too, but omelets are better. Opt for vegetables and fruits over breads and starches.
For dinner, omelets, chicken, and tuna are good choices. But if you're into ultrarunning, then eat something that has lots of protein. For example, milk whey protein shakes or a protein drink (that is not artificially flavored) are ideal. And eat healthy fats such as olive oil and avocados instead of other unhealthy fats. You should also include plenty of fresh fruits and veggies each day.
Eating healthy while running is important for runners and for people who are trying to become more fit and active. It doesn't matter whether you're running a marathon or just playing sports. By eating right and following an exercise program, you will be one step closer to your dream.
Many people who run think they can't do both exercises. That's not true. You can run and swim. In fact, there are even ultra-marathons where people have two long runs and one ultra swim. As long as you give them some thought, you'll be able to do both running and swimming in any event you might be planning to run in.
There's no question that running is getting more popular. As the weather conditions get better, more people are looking forward to it. Even if you live in the country, there are still chances to go run outside. Because of this, more people are eating healthier and adding ultra and trail running activities to their weekly fitness routines.
Another reason why runners should eat more vegetables is because it's a diet for long-term health. Vegetables help prevent diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. It's important for runners to eat a well balanced diet. Often athletes eat fast food or donuts because they don't feel like cooking. If you're used to eating these foods on a regular basis, you should start replacing them with more vegetables.
Runners should also eat more fruits because they contain essential vitamins and minerals your body needs. Some fruits you should eat include bananas, oranges, apples, and watermelon. The reason for this is that most fruits are lower in fat, higher in fiber, and have more nutritional value than meat and potatoes (even for vegans). Vegetarians should also include more fruits because many don't eat plant-based foods that are high in fiber, sugar, and protein.
