How he ran 166 miles in one day: • Scott Jurek: This man ... Mindful tips on how to run on a Plant-based diet with Scott Jurek, world-famous ultra-marathon champion and Waylon Lewis, eco nachos champion.
thanks for the video. im a 43 yr old retired super heavyweight Powerlifter. been running and walking everyday for the last 2 months and am enjoying my new hobby. ive lost some decent weight; was near 400lbs at 6’3”. i’m in love with this new way of life, RUNNING!
just got off my 4.5 mile trail run for the day (nothing compared to Scott~) but, this is like heaven to get his tips directly from him. I feel so lucky right now. the heel / forefront stuff was gold... just seeing him demonstrate with his own two legs was worth a million to me. thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed the whole thing! good personalities from both guys too :)
Seriously. But he's actually really inspired about teaching this stuff--he's a thoughtful generous guy. And we did run, a bit. Hardly anything for him, of course.
I've got Scott's book in my Amazon cart right now! I have another running book, "The Perfect Mile," to finish first.. :) hey, it looked like Scott may be releasing a 2nd book soon? not sure but I think that's what I saw on Amazon today...
Great video! I've read Scott's book, so this is nothing new, but it is great to heart it straight from the horse's mouth, or should I say the deer/venado's mouth :)
I picked up trail running 10+ years ago when I turned 58 which coincided with eating on whole foodss plant based. This last wknd did a trifecta of trail runs at competition…5k fri, 1/2 marathon Saturday n 10k Sunday with total of 3,000’+ elevation gain plus downhill…eating to live and thrive has made such a difference in our lives ….good luck my friend 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Amaranth and buckwheat are also vegan protein staples. Sprout 4 cups of buckwheat and mix with date paste (dates and water in blender) with some salt and Ceylon Cinnimon and throw in in the dehydrator for 24 hours.
Was waiting for the question on how to eat while on a competition race whether marathon or adventure run as i guess you may risk appendicitis (though studies do not readily find link to running in full stomach) in my own opinion.
Great interview! As a vegan runner on a 90/5/5 diet I am wondering: What does he need all that protein for? The lower limit for humans is 2.5% of total calories. You can not get that low if you eat whole foods. Example: Bananas have 4% protein, including all essential amino acids. WHO recommendation is 5%, that is 2.5% + 100% safety margin - more than plenty! Taking into account that most vegetables and greens are much higher in protein (examples: Tomato ~15%, kale ~15%), I find it sometimes difficult to stay below 10%, especially whenever we have beans, peas or lentils. It is very easy to get above 10% which seems to be too much: Body odor comes back, energy levels and recovery times are not as good...
OMG wow am I an idiot... I have major pain in the balls of my feet and super tired calves after all of my runs... guess what part of this resonated with me xD Of course my hero Scott Jurek would know!! Thank you for this video!!!
Plant-based diets are less dense in calories than other dietary patterns. You probably aren't eating enough calories. Focus on grain, legumes, and tubers (starches -- foods rich in complex carbohydrates) for the staples of your diet.
I totally agree with UrbaneScorpion... It sounds like you are not getting enough calories. My personal pre-workout snack is a handful of dates and a banana. I blend it up with rice milk (and occasionally add a teaspoon of matcha). Totally fires me up :)
+teambanana.com Thanks for your reply...will start again tomorrow...doing lots of strength training these days....early morning workout [4:00 a.m.]...not too hungry at that time of day...try to have a big breakfast....hungry during middle of night.
I like to go with a teaspoon of raw caraway seeds. high in glycine and its got a good name. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A9hcJgtnm6Q.html
I disagree with Scott a bit about protein and worrying about the other individual components of the diet. As long as you're eating whole plant foods including lots of leafy greens, you're going to get more than enough protein, fatty acids, etc. I'd also recommend avoiding oil, which is nothing but a processed food, extremely calorically dense, and nutritionally deficient.
I used to think that but it doesn't work for me since I don't eat too many carbs. Building an aerobic base teaches the body to prioritise burning fat and protein as fuel, as opposed to carbohydrates. If I don't supplement with a protein drink - I use either wheatgrass or hemp powder in a smoothie - I get pretty gaunt.
That sounds like a nice problem to have. I run about 30 mpw, soon to be increased to about 50. Carbs have sustained me so far, but I'll definitely keep your comment in mind.
Stephen Otto Far too calorically dense without sufficient nutrition to show for it. And like I said, whether it is virgin or not, it will damage endothelial cells. We've got an epidemic of heart disease in this country, and it isn't just due to animal products. I think oil is equally to blame.
I'm honestly just doing my best to get through a lot of points we want to hear from Scott on, keep it fun and accessible, without dumbing down his great depth of knowledge. It's hard!
I find Waylon to be annoying with his constant interruption and injected humor. Its almost like he is asking the questions but has no care in the world of what the person answer the question has to say.
I thought it was just a fun style of video! and it showed that waylon was interested and engaged in the topic. a conversation not an interview, I like that. and i learned a ton from the content itself, too
He’s asking the questions he thinks his viewers will want to know answers to. He does a fine job and it seems a bit rushed to get everything in but it’s a good, informative video.
Says they're a vegan. Then in same sentence says they're a meat eater. Confusing everyone. That doesn't make sense. As in you were one of those things. Or you're a part time vegan..? Like a flexitarian or something?
I know what your talking about, I was lactose intolerant so I went vegan. I drink a lot of rat milk, have banana as the bulk of my diet, and eat elephant jerky instead of beef. I try not to eat nuts because they are high in fat, instead I eat lean beef.
Many people believe the feminisation of western world men is this instigated trend of veggie and vegan'! I mean I’m not sure? But I can see the train of thought!
One more reason not to eat animal products since the HUGE majority of soy is fed to them and then consumed by us through them. Less than 5% of soy globally goes to human direct consumption.
