I don't think you'll ever understand the true extent of how much you guys have helped people with their running. I am just over a month in with my running goal. Couch to 5k. I am on 4K easy runs. Part of the credit goes to you.
There’s a new study that tracked protein synthesis over 12+ hours and found people could absorb way more than 30g per dose. David Roche wrote about it for Trail Runner magazine I believe.
Magnets on your bibs are the way to go, no more holes in your tops/ sticking pins in yourself/ frantically trying to find four pins the same. I have the runr magnets and they are super strong. Slight disclaimer, they are so strong I have got attached to my car and a metal fence, also if you bend over the top and bottom of your bib will stick together but I wouldn't go back to pins. Keep up the good work, you are my absolute favourite podcast
Sorry Rick, it looks like everyone wants the podcast on TH-cam every week. Including me. On a positive note, it's a great watch. Well done! Congratulations on the award too 🎉
Congratulations on the podcast award it's so well deserved, and please put the podcast on TH-cam every week if it's not to much trouble, I really enjoy watching it. Keep up the great work.
i'd love a weekly TH-cam pod please! Also, magnets (runr) were a game changer for me. No more faffing around with safety pins and I've never had a bib come loose over tens of events, road and trail in some pretty awful condiitons.
Meeting you in Birmingham felt like stepping into a parallel universe of unexpected inspiration. A massive shoutout to Rick for sprinkling some motivational magic my way. I had grand plans for the Birmingham Marathon this year, but my self-doubt was building a fortress, and I tend to procrastinate like it's an Olympic sport. When I hesitated about participating, Rick hit me with a profound 'why not'? Now, I'm proudly registered for my second marathon in May. Huge thanks to Rick and the entire squad for being the catalysts of motivation - you've turned doubters into determined runners. So, if doubt knocks on your door, find your inner 'why not,' sign up for that race, break your personal best, and let the hilariously unexpected journey unfold!
Well done for not forgetting the Vegan Runners. I have been Vegan and a member of UK Vegan Runners running group for nearly 6 years. There are a lot of Vegan Protein sources like Tofu, Tempeh, Beans, Edamame Beans, Peas, Legumes like Lentils, Chickpeas, Seitan, Quinoa, Whole Grains, Nuts, Seeds, even Green Vegetables.
Andy, regarding your Vegan question: I embraced a vegan lifestyle a year or two into my running journey, and the impact on my performance was truly remarkable. Not only did my runs become easier and slightly faster, but my recovery time significantly improved. Addressing the protein concern, it's actually quite manageable on a plant-based diet. Considering that all protein originates from plants (well, amino acids, but let's keep it simple), getting your protein directly from plants eliminates the middle "moo." Virtually every seed, not just hard grains but also legumes and nuts, contains a high percentage of protein. For a well-rounded protein intake, diversify your plant-based diet until you feel satisfied. If you're ever concerned about meeting your protein needs, include legumes in your meals - think hummus, baked beans, pea soup, rice with lentils, and more. The options are plenty, and you'll find that achieving adequate protein on a vegan diet is both feasible and delicious.
Just chiming in to add another vote to the vegan band wagon. There are some big sources of protein that you can add to your meals: tofu, beans, nuts... But don't forget that the little stuff adds up too. Ground flaxseed (buy it ground, not whole because the whole ones are sort of too small to chew, so they tend to go right through like corn) has 2 grams of protein per tablespoon, which is just the right amount to add to your oatmeal without it tasting too health-food-y, and also lowers your blood pressure, your cholesterol, and your risk of cancer. A 1/2 cup of dry rolled oats makes a full bowl of oatmeal and has 5 grams of protein, lowers your cholesterol, and helps control blood sugar well enough that oatmeal diets were the standard of care for diabetes before modern drugs. A cup of cooked brown rice has 5 grams of protein, a 1/4 cup of dried farro makes about a cup cooked and has 6 grams. A cup of raspberries or cherries has a gram and a half. A cup of broccoli has 2.5 grams of protein, a cup of cooked kale has 3.5 grams... The little bits and pieces you eat during the day add up, so just be sure your meals and snacks are made of produce, whole grains, beans, and nuts, instead of packaged convenience stuff, and you'll be fine. Bigger or more active people have higher protein needs, but bigger, more active people also have higher calorie needs, so they just tend to eat a bit more. If what you are eating is well-balanced, eat the right amount of food for you, and your protein should be well taken care of because when you eat more food in general, you'll be getting more protein too.
I agree, good point. I would just add that bioavailability is slightly lower than with animal protein as lot plant protein is contained in structural fiber which gets degraded only in the colon so we can’t absorb some of these amino acids. I’m only saying here that on vegan diet people should overshoot protein targets to be at the same level as if they would consume animal proteins too. That’s why I would recommend vegan shake supplements after workouts.
I reiterate this point. Veganism is definitely beneficial to an active lifestyle. Interesting point about helping the gut heal after a run…I shall be mindful of when I eat after a run now. Thanks for the tips. You guys are very funny.
Vegan for many years now and tofu and beans are great sources of protein. Often have one of those two things in most of my meals. Nuts and legumes are great too. Pretty easy to hit protein needs.
Holy moly I absolutely have always thought this was a twice a month deal..! We've been missing half of this golden content. Please put the others on TH-cam too!
Ive been watching TRC since 2019, and it was so surreal meeting you all at the running show. For you, we are complete strangers, but to us you are actually in our every day life’s. Whether it be listened to the podcast watching on TH-cam or see the content on Instagram. I was so excited about meeting you guys and just wanted to say thank you for being so nice and kind. It must of been an exhausting day but each of you gave your time to speak to me. Even my husband(non-run) who I’d dragged along to the show, said “ are these the people you keep going on about? They are so nice!” Thank you again
I listen to you when I'm running it helps with my cadence and it helps me forget the pain when I run

As a vegetarian runner who doesn’t eat eggs, tofu is my best friend and the way I manage to start my day with +20g of protein. Beans (and lentils, edamame, peas…) are also a great source and loaded with carbs. I’m in a caloric deficit atm so sometimes I’ll have a vegan protein shake to get to my ~100g protein/day without eating too many calories, but if that’s not an issue, it’s 100% possible to achieve the protein goals without supplements.
Love to see you on you tube weekly. Btw another idea for Andy to run is Marathon pour tous. Organized by the Paris Olympic committee where they offer 40k people a chance to run a marathon on the exact route of the Olympic marathon. I just won my entry ticket and am looking forward to running it.
I'm 100% only youtube. I just don't get on audio only podcasts due to my habits. Please keep them on youtube every week because I live you podcast!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Andy you almost namechecked my running club! "Are you a Vegan and a runner?" I can tick those boxes I'm a member of Vegan Runners! We are the most represented club at Park Run 💚🖤 I get my protein most from Beans, Greens and Grains. It is easily missed and often forgotten that you still get Protein from foods that are better known for being carb heavy. Oats, Rice, Broccoli are prime examples. It all adds up, combined with lentils, tofu, tempeh and beans...I'm quietly confident I get more protein than many non vegan friends 👍
Hi congratulations the running channel 😊 my name is saraha and I listen to you from Australia. I listen to you after my run while having my breakfast. I am coming to uk for holidays in July this year. I am hoping to see you 😊
For Sarah’s research 😊There are some 4:1 carb with protein gels out in the market there are some studies suggesting that a small amount of protein during exercise could be beneficial to distance runners - thanks for the excellent work you are all doing in the channel and podcast 🙌🙌
The slower runner adjustment question is something I was wondering about as well. I have been training for my first half, with a goal of 2:30. I was doing the Jeff Galloway plan on my garmin, which was good generally, but I found 1 thing that causes me issues. The long runs get very long for a slower runner. The last long run I did (ended up with a bit of a foot injury from it) was a scheduled 25k easy run. I don't know if it is typical to overshoot the race distance in training but that is what it had me doing, and to do it at "long easy" pace would put me out at very nearly 4 hours for a half training run.
Veggie tip: hummus and similar bean spreads. You can make these from any bean and the flavour combos are endless. I personally love white bean, sun-dried tomato and herbs. Easy snack on a piece of Ryvita or whatever you like or add a bit to the side of your plate. I make a big batch once or twice a week and it keeps well in the fridge or freezer. Budget friendly and gives you a decent amount of protein. Minimal prep needed so by far the easiest solution if you need to add some throughout the day.
Very good podcast once again. On the vegetarian protein question.. My morning porridge is made it quinoa plus oats, and has some mixed seeds on top as well as the kefir or Greek yoghurt I use instead of milk as a topping. All of these are good sources of protein. Also many vegetables contain protein eg broccoli is not far behind milk at about 2.8g per 100g. So including a few of the higher protein vegetables throughout your diet can help
Video podcast every week, please! I listen when it’s audio only but I like the option to switch from my screen while I’m eating or cleaning and then audio when I’m driving.
Hi there! Kerwin here from Brooklyn in New York City. PLEASE DO put the podcast on youtube every week! A note on the bib discussion. I ran the NYC Marathon just last year, but it was drilled into us by NYRR (New York Road Runners, the organizers of the NYC Marathon) that bibs have to be visible somewhere on the front of your body for security reasons. The last few miles of the marathon involve weaving in and out of Central Park and because of this, that area becomes a tight security zone. Without a visible bib, the NYPD will consider you a security threat and pull you off the course.
I'm Vegan and I find getting my daily protein intake rather easy. I have things like Seitan, tofu, tempeh, nuts, peanut butter, yeast flakes, lentils and etc and the odd protein shake a day. Vegan runners website also have tips and tricks for incorporating the different macro and micro nutrients into your diet. Also other youtubers like Ben Parkes who's vegan does what he eats for the day videos, which is a good way to be inspired.
Agree with Rick, we definitely need another parkrun in Wirral. On the subject of magnets, the only reason why I’ve never used them was I thought they may mess with the timing chip. Seems like loads of people use them now so will give them a try.
I’ve been vegetarian almost my whole life and am primarily vegan now, there are sooooo many protein-infused options and whole food options to get food in. Beans and rice is a basic meal that provides all essential amino acids, quinoa on its own. To get purely grams of protein, I’ve incorporated chickpea based pasta instead of wheat pasta which is huge
Re: magnetic clips. Pins are 1-2 grams and make holes in shirt or vest, magnets are 30 grams and make no holes. Running around at around 90-91 kilo's, I dont mind the 30 grams. They only come off if you try to wear a shirt over it, put a jacket on or try sitting in the car afterwards. Another option is Event clip where it is plastic clips that dont push throug the fabric, leaves a little dent that may wash off or not (
So nice to see TRC not turning veganism into an easy punchline for this topic 😅 I've been vegan for about 3 years now, not at all for health reasons, and generally find it very easy, at least in the Netherlands. Breakfast for me is the key, I'll have a big portion of overnight oats in vegan yoghurt, with some dark chocolate in it. High protein, high carbs and super delicious. More generally, I'd say your points on glycogen and spreading your proteins are key too. I tend to eat a lot of slow, nutritious carbs, so for instance a lot of pasta or wholemeal bread, avoiding rice which is low in protein (you'd be surprised at the protein content of pasta or a good bread). But of course lentils and beans are great too, and I do eat quite a few "fake meats" based on soy, pea or wheat proteins as these are plentiful in the NL. No protein shakes or supplements though, those are unnecessary. All this gets me through 5-6 running sessions a week, breaking my Parkrun PBs by minutes (thanks to the motivation TRC gives me!) and still improving, so I do use up quite some energy. I wouldn't credit the veganism as I just don't have the evidence for it and I'm not doing it for health, but I'm definitely convinced it's at least not holding me back at all.
Another option for the bib is an elastic belt with a couple of bits of bungee/paracord - they can usually be found for a few quid (we even got some in sponsor/goodie bag once). You punch small holes in the bib corners and attach it to the cords, securing it with the little plastic spring doohickeys that go on drawstrings. Or I suppose you could attach the little bits of string to some othe bit of kit. The nice thing with the belt is that it can be moved easily if its not just right. The drawback is that it's another thing strapped around you torso.
The 30 minute anabolic window post workout has been long debunked by lots of studies... best way to do it is to eat the adequate amount which, to be sure you meet it, is 2g/kg and you can take take protein throughout the day not necessarily after or before the workout
Ran NYC in 22 with magnets, they were really good but the safety pins are better as it removes the anxiety of any risk the magnets won’t hold. The magnets did slip slightly. Will be going with safety pins going forward as it’s one less thing to worry about on a marathon.
Bib magnets are great, used them on all runs from faster paced XC races up to a 55k Ultra in rain, wind and thunderstorms! Also worth pointing out some races specifically tell you where you need to wear your bib, especially none chip timed events where they need to see your number for timing! It also helps volunteers/marshals see your number to tick you off at checkpoints!
I stopped using safety pins on my bibs and now only use magnets. First, It's the green choice. It's a learning curve to placing them but I have it down now. Pro tip, you don't need to place the magnets at the edges where you would add a safety pin. I secure them about an inch/2.5 cms in from the corners and they work well. They stay secured in high winds and poor weather. Chicago tested. And, you really only need to use three. I use Racedots.
I would definitely watch every week on TH-cam. I mostly listen to music while I'm out and about. Regarding the vegetarian protein intake, I think tofu is great. Nice protein levels and also good mineral content for runners.
congratulations on the prize. Put the podcast on you tube please. Here in the south west of the Netherlands it is always almost storming so I cannot hear the podcast with the headphones on the long run. For the bib problem, I am using a running belt to hold the number.
As an older runner , who is doing my best to keep my muscle mass while running I consume a lot of protein. Hule black for lunch , and a whey protein shake on normal days 64g ( on top of breakfast and dinner) and hule black and 2 protein shakes on workout days 88g. Likely some of it goes to waste . But would rather have a little excess than not enough especially now when I am on a marathon training block.
Huel black is amazing and vegan.. (which answers another question). There are also many vegatarian and vegan sources of high quality protein - which are a lot cheaper than the animal sources. Takes some research though.
If you have healthy kidneys no problems go ahead. Be careful though with kidney diseases (like me), quote: "A high protein intake has been shown to accelerate kidney damage in people who have kidney disease. However, higher protein diets don't adversely affect kidney function in healthy people."
My tips for vegetarian protein intake: - Add beans, lentils or chickpeas to lunch and dinner. They're very verstatile. Think blackbean burger, lentilsoup, chickpea 'tuna'. - Soy milk is quite high in protein. - I eat two eggs on two pieces of full grain bread. Full grain bread in the Netherlands (where I am), are 6gr of protein a slice. I put cottage cheese under it, which often makes a lunch of 25-30gr of protein. - Nut butters on bread, on ricecrackers, with apple/banana as a snack or in your oats. Oats themselves are also quite high in protein, especially with soy/oat milk. - You can easily make wraps with red lentils that are very high in protein, you only need water and lentils. - I often put cashews or walnuts on pastas or rice dishes. This levels the protein intake up a bit
It'd be so great if you do a video every weak. I am not a native english speaker and the automatic subtitle helps me a lot. Even the audio episodes I listen on my tv's spotify app because I feel I can concenrate more
I listen washing my hair, dishes and currently in the airport waiting for my flight home. 😂 I found your channel in the summer training for my 5k, now I'm training for a half-marathon inspiring stuff guys! Congratulations on your award! 🎉
I have a set of magnets for my bibs (bibbitz is the brand I use). They work great, but they are fiddly to set up. Sometimes I try adjusting the position of the bib after putting it on, and it ends up folded.
Maybe a follow up about other nutritional supplements for before/during/after runs, such as: what are the benefits of 'once a day' supplements (often green, without going into specific brands), does increasing your vitamin intake have any benefit, how often should you be eating gels on race day, is carb loading a myth or not. Or a more personal question: I'm on my taper for my first marathon. Do you have any advice on what I should / should not be doing? I'm keen to avoid picking up any illnesses as that would be a very annoying way to hamper my performance, so are there any tips for that?
Number goes on the front of the tshirt unless its a trail race/ultra and then it goes on your shorts becuase you might have to take jackets on and off.
There are podcasts that are not on youtube? Please include them all. It is my favourite weekend cooking companion. One tip for a topic could be homemade spots nutrition. Because funding gels for ultramarathon training amounts to eating through new shoes every 3-4 months. And I cannot afford such an expense on top of the shoes.
Reply about the magnets on your race bib, I used them a for while and found that they never came off by themselves, I did however knock one off with my arm swing. Since I have not used them since. I am currently using double sided tape that they call bib tape and I’m finding them fantastic. Stick it on anytime and they just tear off not signs of residue or excess tape left on my clothing!
Whaaaat podcast is every week?! I love podcasts BUT i fell in love watching u record on youtube because I already watch ur youtube channel. soooo if it’s an option to see these every week that would be amazing!
I’m veggie but often have accidental vegan days. Obviously there’s protein powder and bars, but protein yoghurts and protein “puddings”, many of which have not much sugar nowadays. I don’t know if they’re super healthy honestly but I’m willing to bet they’re healthier than most other foodstuffs. You can get vegan protein yoghurts now too by Alpro, 15g per 200g pot A lot of meat alternatives like Quorn have lots of protein too. Also you can get porridge with protein added now too. It’s actually not too difficult to intake lots of protein as a non meat eater
Please put the podcast on TH-cam every week!! I find it so much better watching and seem to take a lot more from it
I'd love the podcast on TH-cam every week, even though I listen on Spotify too!
I tend to miss the podcasts that are not on TH-cam, and have to catchup later on, please have them all on TH-cam!
Aren't you distracted when running then? 😉
Please put the podcast on TH-cam every week! Pretty please!
Hear, hear
Yes please put the podcast on TH-cam every week, I do my S&C in front of the TV watching you guys; more TH-cam podcasts = more S&C for me :)
I don't think you'll ever understand the true extent of how much you guys have helped people with their running. I am just over a month in with my running goal. Couch to 5k. I am on 4K easy runs. Part of the credit goes to you.

Absolutely brilliant for you! 👏 good luck with it all.
Been watching this since ep. 1 and never realized I had been missing half of the shows! Very glad that you brought this up :D
As someone who only has seen the TH-cam vids: A podcast every week?! Please put them up as videos, I love watching you three banter back and forth!

Video podcast every week, please! I listen when it’s audio only but I like the option to switch from my screen while I’m eating or cleaning and then audio when I’m driving.
Another vote for the podcast on TH-cam every time, pretty please 😊
And yes, please add your weekly podcast on TH-cam!!
I am one of the people that thought there was just a podcast every two weeks. No idea there was an audio only one. More videos!
Me too!
Hi there! Kerwin here from Brooklyn in New York City. PLEASE DO put the podcast on youtube every week! A note on the bib discussion. I ran the NYC Marathon just last year, but it was drilled into us by NYRR (New York Road Runners, the organizers of the NYC Marathon) that bibs have to be visible somewhere on the front of your body for security reasons. The last few miles of the marathon involve weaving in and out of Central Park and because of this, that area becomes a tight security zone. Without a visible bib, the NYPD will consider you a security threat and pull you off the course.
Would love to watch every week one TH-cam. Running channel podcast is a ritual after my Sunday long run while eating a protein filled breakie. 😊
Rick I’m with you on the extra park run on the Wirral! I too live in West Kirby and an extra location would be great.
Please keep on TH-cam! I watch during my work breaks
Yes. Podcast on TH-cam every week please.
I would love for the podcast to be on TH-cam ever week
I'm Vegan and I find getting my daily protein intake rather easy. I have things like Seitan, tofu, tempeh, nuts, peanut butter, yeast flakes, lentils and etc and the odd protein shake a day. Vegan runners website also have tips and tricks for incorporating the different macro and micro nutrients into your diet. Also other youtubers like Ben Parkes who's vegan does what he eats for the day videos, which is a good way to be inspired.
Great tips! Thanks Sophie
As a vegetarian runner I have no issues and don't take any supplements. I just try to eat a lot of fresh and unprocessed food.
👏👏
Agree with Rick, we definitely need another parkrun in Wirral. On the subject of magnets, the only reason why I’ve never used them was I thought they may mess with the timing chip. Seems like loads of people use them now so will give them a try.
I’ve been vegetarian almost my whole life and am primarily vegan now, there are sooooo many protein-infused options and whole food options to get food in. Beans and rice is a basic meal that provides all essential amino acids, quinoa on its own. To get purely grams of protein, I’ve incorporated chickpea based pasta instead of wheat pasta which is huge
Re: magnetic clips. Pins are 1-2 grams and make holes in shirt or vest, magnets are 30 grams and make no holes. Running around at around 90-91 kilo's, I dont mind the 30 grams. They only come off if you try to wear a shirt over it, put a jacket on or try sitting in the car afterwards. Another option is Event clip where it is plastic clips that dont push throug the fabric, leaves a little dent that may wash off or not (
Congratulations on your award loving all the content videos and podcasts ❤👏👏👏
So nice to see TRC not turning veganism into an easy punchline for this topic 😅 I've been vegan for about 3 years now, not at all for health reasons, and generally find it very easy, at least in the Netherlands. Breakfast for me is the key, I'll have a big portion of overnight oats in vegan yoghurt, with some dark chocolate in it. High protein, high carbs and super delicious.
More generally, I'd say your points on glycogen and spreading your proteins are key too. I tend to eat a lot of slow, nutritious carbs, so for instance a lot of pasta or wholemeal bread, avoiding rice which is low in protein (you'd be surprised at the protein content of pasta or a good bread). But of course lentils and beans are great too, and I do eat quite a few "fake meats" based on soy, pea or wheat proteins as these are plentiful in the NL. No protein shakes or supplements though, those are unnecessary.
All this gets me through 5-6 running sessions a week, breaking my Parkrun PBs by minutes (thanks to the motivation TRC gives me!) and still improving, so I do use up quite some energy. I wouldn't credit the veganism as I just don't have the evidence for it and I'm not doing it for health, but I'm definitely convinced it's at least not holding me back at all.
Another option for the bib is an elastic belt with a couple of bits of bungee/paracord - they can usually be found for a few quid (we even got some in sponsor/goodie bag once). You punch small holes in the bib corners and attach it to the cords, securing it with the little plastic spring doohickeys that go on drawstrings. Or I suppose you could attach the little bits of string to some othe bit of kit.
The nice thing with the belt is that it can be moved easily if its not just right. The drawback is that it's another thing strapped around you torso.
The 30 minute anabolic window post workout has been long debunked by lots of studies... best way to do it is to eat the adequate amount which, to be sure you meet it, is 2g/kg and you can take take protein throughout the day not necessarily after or before the workout
Great to watch definitely need to video every week 👍🏻
Ran NYC in 22 with magnets, they were really good but the safety pins are better as it removes the anxiety of any risk the magnets won’t hold. The magnets did slip slightly. Will be going with safety pins going forward as it’s one less thing to worry about on a marathon.
Bib magnets are great, used them on all runs from faster paced XC races up to a 55k Ultra in rain, wind and thunderstorms!
Also worth pointing out some races specifically tell you where you need to wear your bib, especially none chip timed events where they need to see your number for timing! It also helps volunteers/marshals see your number to tick you off at checkpoints!
I stopped using safety pins on my bibs and now only use magnets. First, It's the green choice. It's a learning curve to placing them but I have it down now. Pro tip, you don't need to place the magnets at the edges where you would add a safety pin. I secure them about an inch/2.5 cms in from the corners and they work well. They stay secured in high winds and poor weather. Chicago tested. And, you really only need to use three. I use Racedots.
WHAT?? I have been missing 50% of the podcasts??? I had no idea, please bring them to youtube!!!
I would definitely watch every week on TH-cam. I mostly listen to music while I'm out and about.
Regarding the vegetarian protein intake, I think tofu is great. Nice protein levels and also good mineral content for runners.
congratulations on the prize. Put the podcast on you tube please. Here in the south west of the Netherlands it is always almost storming so I cannot hear the podcast with the headphones on the long run. For the bib problem, I am using a running belt to hold the number.
Thank you! We will see what we can do 😁
I would love a weekly podcast video ❤❤ love yall teasing each other 😂😂 and congrats on the award ❤❤❤
Yes please add the podcast to TH-cam every week!
As an older runner , who is doing my best to keep my muscle mass while running I consume a lot of protein. Hule black for lunch , and a whey protein shake on normal days 64g ( on top of breakfast and dinner) and hule black and 2 protein shakes on workout days 88g. Likely some of it goes to waste . But would rather have a little excess than not enough especially now when I am on a marathon training block.
Huel black is amazing and vegan.. (which answers another question). There are also many vegatarian and vegan sources of high quality protein - which are a lot cheaper than the animal sources. Takes some research though.
If you have healthy kidneys no problems go ahead. Be careful though with kidney diseases (like me), quote: "A high protein intake has been shown to accelerate kidney damage in people who have kidney disease. However, higher protein diets don't adversely affect kidney function in healthy people."
@@dresden_slowjog Thank you for the information (I was not aware )
yes- every week on youtube please- its my main source of everything!
Oh, I didn't know you didn't put all the podcast episodes on TH-cam. Definitely put them all on TH-cam!
Yes please to all podcasts on TH-cam!🙂
My tips for vegetarian protein intake:
- Add beans, lentils or chickpeas to lunch and dinner. They're very verstatile. Think blackbean burger, lentilsoup, chickpea 'tuna'.
- Soy milk is quite high in protein.
- I eat two eggs on two pieces of full grain bread. Full grain bread in the Netherlands (where I am), are 6gr of protein a slice. I put cottage cheese under it, which often makes a lunch of 25-30gr of protein.
- Nut butters on bread, on ricecrackers, with apple/banana as a snack or in your oats. Oats themselves are also quite high in protein, especially with soy/oat milk.
- You can easily make wraps with red lentils that are very high in protein, you only need water and lentils.
- I often put cashews or walnuts on pastas or rice dishes. This levels the protein intake up a bit
I like watching the podcast so yes please do it every week!
Yes, please put it on TH-cam every week!

It'd be so great if you do a video every weak. I am not a native english speaker and the automatic subtitle helps me a lot. Even the audio episodes I listen on my tv's spotify app because I feel I can concenrate more

I have a set of magnets for my bibs (bibbitz is the brand I use). They work great, but they are fiddly to set up. Sometimes I try adjusting the position of the bib after putting it on, and it ends up folded.
Maybe a follow up about other nutritional supplements for before/during/after runs, such as: what are the benefits of 'once a day' supplements (often green, without going into specific brands), does increasing your vitamin intake have any benefit, how often should you be eating gels on race day, is carb loading a myth or not.
Or a more personal question: I'm on my taper for my first marathon. Do you have any advice on what I should / should not be doing? I'm keen to avoid picking up any illnesses as that would be a very annoying way to hamper my performance, so are there any tips for that?
Number goes on the front of the tshirt unless its a trail race/ultra and then it goes on your shorts becuase you might have to take jackets on and off.
There are podcasts that are not on youtube? Please include them all. It is my favourite weekend cooking companion. One tip for a topic could be homemade spots nutrition. Because funding gels for ultramarathon training amounts to eating through new shoes every 3-4 months. And I cannot afford such an expense on top of the shoes.
Here, listening to the show from Chile. Currently training for the Santiago (half) marathon.
Good luck Rob! Let us know how you get on😁
Reply about the magnets on your race bib, I used them a for while and found that they never came off by themselves, I did however knock one off with my arm swing. Since I have not used them since. I am currently using double sided tape that they call bib tape and I’m finding them fantastic. Stick it on anytime and they just tear off not signs of residue or excess tape left on my clothing!
I would love the podcast to be on youtube every week. Thank you😊
Whaaaat podcast is every week?! I love podcasts BUT i fell in love watching u record on youtube because I already watch ur youtube channel. soooo if it’s an option to see these every week that would be amazing!
I’m veggie but often have accidental vegan days. Obviously there’s protein powder and bars, but protein yoghurts and protein “puddings”, many of which have not much sugar nowadays. I don’t know if they’re super healthy honestly but I’m willing to bet they’re healthier than most other foodstuffs. You can get vegan protein yoghurts now too by Alpro, 15g per 200g pot
A lot of meat alternatives like Quorn have lots of protein too. Also you can get porridge with protein added now too. It’s actually not too difficult to intake lots of protein as a non meat eater
