How many calories?!

2012-03-09T10:38:48.000Z

Hello all - I have a question!

Recommended intake for women is 2500cal at least? I'm averaging a bit over 3000cal per day... On days when I do my physical job, and weight training, and my evening run, I'm easily burning way over 1000cal (according to cronometer's slightly vague exercise thingy). The deficeit essentially takes me back down to having less than 2000cal in my body. Should I be eating enough that even with hard training burning off a lot, my base calories should be an untouched 2500? This would push me up to at least 4000cal per day.

How do you guys approach your fuel requirements?

Long distance running/training vs Doug's recommended daily amounts of greens/fibers

2011-01-14T09:47:27.000Z

One thing that I am still learning and discovering at the moment is that I need to be careful about not having too much fiber (ie hard greens/celery/stems, etc.) in my digestive system when running a lot. It seems like the pounding of so many strides is not a good friend of the fiber mass, resulting in poor digestion, even if eaten the previous day (my food usually takes 24 hours to go from intake to elimination). It joins a bit what Michael Arnstein does: he does not eat Doug's recommended daily amount of greens. Just wondering about all the other long distance runners: what do you guys feel and do about greens/fibers?

What sports does everyone do? and how has 811 helped?

2011-01-12T02:51:11.000Z

Just interested to know what sports you do or want to start doing? :o)

I do Kung fu and im hoping that 811 will give me more energy to keep training longer and harder, resulting in more strength to kick my opponents ass :D also hopefully i will be a little lighter so i'll be faster and able to run further and for longer. i have high expectations of 811!! but think the more effort i put into sticking to the diet, the more the diet will help me in return. Fingers crossed!

Oh NO ( insert contriversial Title to get interest) my BHAG is showing

I was hoping to get some more activity happening in the group but I do not seem to be able to spark off a topic that carries.

What i love about the internet is that it enable like minded people to connect from all area of the world.

so it would be awesome to see here some race reports, race venues, raw vegan sporting success, equipment checks, competition results.

Hey I make no excuses I am a competitive man and I love being up at the pointy end of a race, I have been a National and state title holder in two different sports.
I have represented Australia as an age group athlete, and at the age of 90 I want to be the world title holder for 5k, which at the present time is 31:25.45 held by GordonPorteous.

He passed away in 2004 the scottsman left an amazing legacy

He won 23 World and European age group medals, including the marathon, in 2hrs.51min aged 60, at the first ever WorldVeterans Track & Field, Toronto in 1975. He remained unbeaten overthis classic distance by any one of his own age. He returned home fromthe World Championships in New Zealand in 1981 with four gold medals. Hecurrently holds the following records:

World M90-94 5,000m in 31.25.45
World M90-94 10,000m in 69.26.92sec
European records as above, plus the M85-89 5000m
British 1500m records from aged 80 through to age 93
British M80-84 3000m Indoor.

I do not know what lifestyle and diet Gordon adhered to but I will be be setting the record as a bare foot raw food lifestyle practitioner.

SO what is your BHAG ( Big Hairy Audacious Goals ) for your sporting life.

Brag a little and post your times for events and distances, or put out the intent, and set a target, post a photo of nice body.... of water, you swim in or other favorite pastimes.

How long you have been raw and any improvements you have noted to your athletic ability

Look forward to seeing the replies, hey !! especially you climbing freaks how the heck you manage to hang upside down like a bat on those rocks is amazing my only attempt at hanging by a rope was damn scary http://bit.ly/cSmzC1

What events are you all preparing for, any Race reports

2010-04-04T07:07:42.000Z

I am a competitive athlete and I make no excuses for wanting to be at the front end of any event I train and enter to race for...

As we have people from all over the world here, it would be great to have some race reports and results, and share some tips on how to run, bike, swim, kayak, climb rocks, fast and for fun.

For me in this part of the world

we are starting into the winter xcountry running and I have been racing on the beach front at Mooloolabah Queensland Australia

to mountain roads, at Mt Mee

My Vibram five fingers have been excellent for competition, I am glad I got them they really help with downhill gnarly tracks.

I am running 10k, 6k, events as my staple races, stepping up to a !/2 marathon race in July on the Gold coast..

Staying positive through injury

2010-03-19T21:03:33.000Z

Setting goals for our sporting endeavors is a double edge sword, it give you a reason to haul your carcass off the couch of doom, but when injury crops up, it is a real blow to more then being ready physically for something.

I find it stalls me even in other areas of my life, because training is part of the whom that I am and I am wondering if that is particularly healthy as I find when I cannot run, or be be active, I get down.

How does it affect you guys?, and is it a good thing to need to have an identity as an athlete, give you a sense of achievment, or sense of accomplishment
