Running |
|
I have just started running to A. To be healthy and B. Because I am training to join the Army within the next few months.
Basically I'm looking for some tips as what I should be eating, how many caloires ect ect. Here are my "stats": Age: 18 Height: 5`9" 178m Weight: 10st 9lb 67.7kg BMI: 21.4 Basically I have set out to eat healthy before and don't tend to stick to eating meals I ussually just snack in the day on any crap I can get my hands on. This has to change. Despite a healthy weight and BMI I feel like I need some self improvement. My aim is to be able to run 1.6mile - 2mile in around 9 mintues 30. First of all when I started running just last week I couldn't even make half of that but the last two nights I have made it with times of 11m 40 and then 10m 50 which was obviously pleasing, now I realise you can't really help me with my running but I want some diet help or unput. Here is what I am ussually eating: Breakfast:Eggs, Bacon, baked beans, toast, mushrooms. Snack inbetween: Bannana and grapes Lunch: Chicken and Mushroom pastry slice Snack Inbetween: Yoghurt or salted nuts Dinner: Baked Potato with Tuna/baked beans. Water in take: 5 pints a daily. Ok guys thanks for taking the time to look at this, my meals do vary abit but thats generally what I eat now so give me some pointers ------------------- ![]() Credit: Memento Mori | |

Seems like you could stand to gain some weight, as right now it doesn't look like you're eating much. You could do with some variety, mushrooms and baked beans twice in a day? Try some spinach, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, apples, oranges and so on. Have some fruit and plenty of vegetables, plenty of variety. Eat unrefined carbs (brown rice, stoneground bread, wholemeal pasta), lean protein (seafood, chicken, turkey, game meat, beef, pork) and unsaturated fats (unsalted nuts, particularly almonds and walnuts, avocado and oily fish). You're drinking plenty of water which is good, try to keep intake of sugar, saturated fat, condiments, juices, soft drink and processed foods to a minimum.
Don't forget to throw in some basic bodyweight movements to prepare yourself, pullups, pushups, situps, dips, handstands, lunges, step ups and so on, and once you progress beyond that, start doing some weightlifting and powerlifting. Running is important for the army, as well as some pack marches, so once you've got some running ability, wear a backpack filled with some weight (books, sand, rocks). ------------------- | |
