What would you eat if you ran 50+ miles this week?

[flinkpoyd01]

Ramping up my training for a half marathon next week and I realized that this week I'll log around 50 miles in addition to my normal lifting 6 days this week. I know most of you brahs don't do long distance running but let's say you suddenly had a week where you ran 50 miles in addition to your normal lifting, what would you eat?

I run/swim/bike as part of my normal routines so this much cardio isn't too out of the ordinary. I'm thinking more from the standpoint of those who don't do a lot of cardio, what goodies would you smash if adding 50 miles of running to your routine this week??

inb4 pb, chicken, brown rice, sweet potatoes...

[dustinh6719]

Pasta, cereal, poptarts, ice cream, bagels, etc.

[AlwaysTryin]

Cheesecake, lots of it

[MITCHAPAL00ZA]

ice cream, guacamole, cinnamon sugar bagel with butter, LARGE turkey bacon cheese sub with all the fixins

[jakefurfaro]

Alfredo, lots of it.

[jammyo40]

Carbs, carbs, carbs

[FunkymonkAW]

Ice cream. Lots and lots and lots of ice cream.

Sugary carbs for me, best runs happen after them.

Noooooooooooooo. The best runs happen after mega dosing on humongous burritos. Immaturity aside, I have to disagree. Eating sugary carbs just make me really thirsty and after the taste is gone, I want more. So bad.

I dunno, the longest I have ever run is 8 miles, not an endurance athlete

This 100% srs.

hahahaha. remember lol'ing to this. this is actually funnier to me than when he throws up @ the end of the race. but i love how he's like "i'm done. i can't go on. forget me. go on."

great episode. not one of my top pics. but regardless. this is one of the few shows i love where i'd say 95% of the episodes are perfect. the humour is just so...me. i don't like television very much. =s :megusta:

I've only ran 3 miles at most. I don't enjoy running, so I limit myself to 3 miles.

[yieldtonothing]

copious amounts of golden grahams and cinnamon toast crunch

[msmartsmart]

Synthetic? Where you at?

I would never run 50+ miles in a week, however, I would bike 100+ miles in a week and I wouldn't really eat anything different. I might drink copious amounts of Gatorade though.

[PerpetualMotion]

Whatever my imagination can conjure.

White chocolate torte, pretezel rolls, mint cheesecake, bacon and arugula quiche, challah, pork belly sliders, biscottis, pulled pork, scalloped potatoes, eggnog ice cream, candied bacon, gnocchi, mac and cheese, brioche, burgers in so many ways that your mind would explode, chicken marsala...

Oh god, I blacked out. Where am I?

[nosix]

also a massive runner/rider so my question isnt what won't I eat

[PlasticJanus]

OP, this hypothetical situation of yours excites me in a way that, under normal circumstances, only the combination of women, nudity, and whipped topping can. This is not an easy feat and on it I congratulate you.

With that said: absolutely anything. Pizza, ice cream, cheesecake, cheese fries, deep fried candy bars, and all sorts of similarly unrelated but equally complementary things.

[jammyo40]

OP, this question is probably best answered by people who actually run 50+ miles per week.

[mike201011]

Pizza and icecream/cheesecake.

[2canman]

I'm an endurance athlete OP, and my mileage was 70-80 miles a week right before i got injured. right before my run, i would eat alot of sugary carbs which really boosted my workout intensity to new levels. carbups the day before never worked for me (weird i know), so i eat the majority of them the day of the run.

Lasagna, Pasta, Risotto, Pasta, Pizza, Pasta, Polenta, Pasta.

Am I the only one that would eat pounds of meat after a *hypothetical* 50 mile running week? Don't get me wrong, I'd also eat a ton of ice cream and pizza, but I love my meat .

[deadpool9]

2 boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

I run 50+ miles a week already. I'm on the BOCAD diet (box of cereal a day). Favorites are Banana Nut Cheerios, Special K Red Berries and Crunchy Nut Flakes. I also eat granola bars and stuff pre-workout for a bit of a sugar buzz. Other than that, pretty standard BB diet. On my current bulk I'm at 3200 cals, 80+ g of fat, 200+ g of protein and I typically fill in the rest with mostly carbs.

A man of good taste.

You run over 50 miles a week and you only eat 3200 cals? I feel like you would be cutting on that.
