I'm a new runner too. I'm now training for marathon and 50 miles distance.
I've read many sources of nutrition guide for runners who want to run more than a 10k race.
They said many things, I almost die on these words.....
I didn't say that they are wrong but I want you to know that the most important in a >21k race is that you find a suitable nutrition flow for your own.
Btw, here what I eat before every longrun.
- Two days before longrun: I usually have a high calories breakfast and lunch plus some fruit (I usually eat 1 - 2 bananas each meal a day). I think you wouldn't want to eat to much on evening. Then I whatever I want but I focus more on fruit.
- On running day: Because I usually run long run in the morning. I tried to get up early and have a two glasses of water (don't drink cold water) follow up with two eggs and bread breakfast.
- When running: remember to hydrate every 1-2 miles. Don't drink too much.. I usually eat a half of a banana for every 45-60 mins. Many of my friends prefer GU GEL but I hate this smell :
I listened to this twice to see if I missed something. I think I agree with most of the things he said, but I feel he needed to add some things...That I had to read between the lines. I agree with you about exercise being very therapeutic and feel endorphins help with coping and relaxing. He didn't bring that point up and he should have.
I think what he was trying to stress was that you can't build major muscle groups while being in major weightloss. It takes calories to tear down muscles (the soreness we feel from working them). To build them back up, making them stronger, takes extra calories. Since it is a struggle to get in those calories (especially the first 6 months), we will have major problems trying to build those muscles. I think what he was trying to stress (but didn't say so) was it is better to work on toning muscles and light exercise (walking, biking, elastic bands, different movements, stairs, physical work) than to pump major iron. That is my take on the video...
I also believe he was correct about the use of the gym and the mental aspect of it. In my own case (first six months), I found that walking and physical work (mowing lawns, pruning trees, cleaning the car, cleaning windows) helped me with my weightloss and aided in the toning as well. Brian
Last week did not go quite as planned due to school being closed on Friday which meant no fitness classes. But, in good news, I did yoga for at least 15 minutes every day and saw notable improvement even over the course of those 7 days. I'm feeling a lot more hopeful about my recovery after 7 months of sedentary living while healing from surgeries!
And the weather should be nice for getting outside this week which means I can get some walking in - the first step to getting back to running.

Minus 33 with wind chill or was that the air temp? Holy moly! I can't complain since we were only in single digits for temp and around 0 with wind chill.
Keep on losing!
