This might be controversial… If you care about performance, recovery, and actually feeling GOOD — these are nothing but trash fuel. 👇 1️⃣ Soda – nothing but sugar, chemicals, and inflammation. 2️⃣ Energy drinks (Monster, Bang, etc.) – massive spikes, zero real fuel. 3️⃣ Fast food burgers (McDonald’s, Burger King, etc.) – low-quality meat, trans fats, and additives. 4️⃣ French fries – fried in seed oils that provide 0 fuel. 5️⃣ Canola oil / soybean oil / vegetable oil – the king of inflammation. 6️⃣ Packaged pastries (Hostess, Little Debbie, etc.) – straight-up sugar bombs with hydrogenated oils. 7️⃣ Breakfast cereals (Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms, etc.) – marketed as “energy,” but it’s just dessert in a box. 8️⃣ Microwave dinners – sodium bombs with garbage ingredients. 9️⃣ Candy bars (Snickers, Twix, etc.) – sugar rush, then a crash. 🔟 Donuts – flour + sugar + industrial oil = performance nightmare. 1️⃣1️⃣ White bread – no nutrients, just blood sugar spikes. 1️⃣2️⃣ Processed deli meats – nitrates, preservatives, and the lowest quality protein. 1️⃣3️⃣ Pizza chains (Dominos, Pizza Hut, etc.) – refined flour, seed oils, and fake cheese blends. 1️⃣4️⃣ Ice cream brands loaded with corn syrup (Breyers, Blue Bunny, etc.) – dessert disguised as dairy. 1️⃣5️⃣ Flavored yogurts with added sugar – no, that 25g of sugar isn’t “healthy.” 1️⃣6️⃣ Packaged ramen noodles – MSG, sodium overload, and zero real nutrition. 1️⃣7️⃣ Chips (Doritos, Lays, Cheetos) – processed carbs fried in seed oils. 1️⃣8️⃣ Sports drinks (Gatorade, Powerade) – sugar water with dye, not electrolytes. 1️⃣9️⃣ Pop-Tarts – dessert disguised as breakfast. 2️⃣0️⃣ Frozen fried foods (chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks, etc.) – factory oil, fillers, and preservatives. ⸻ 🔥 These foods don’t fuel performance.

These will wreck you… ⸻ I don’t care how clean the food is — If it wrecks your digestion, it’s gonna wreck your run. Here are 15 foods I avoid at all costs before running: ⸻ 🥩 1. Red meat ✅ Takes too long to digest. Heavy on the gut = cramps and sluggishness mid-run. 🧀 2. Cheese ✅ High in fat and often causes bloating or stomach discomfort while running. 🥛 3. Milk (especially whole) ✅ Lactose can cause GI distress. If you need dairy, go lactose-free or use it way earlier. 🌶️ 4. Spicy food ✅ Can trigger acid reflux or stomach burning. Recipe for a mid-run bathroom break. 🍫 5. Chocolate (especially dark) ✅ Contains caffeine + fat combo that can upset your stomach and elevate heart rate too early. 🥬 6. Raw broccoli or cauliflower ✅ High in fiber and sulfur = gas, bloating, discomfort. Not ideal pre-run. 🥜 7. Peanut butter (too much) ✅ A little is fine. But large amounts slow digestion and can sit heavy in your stomach. 🍟 8. Fried foods ✅ Fat + oil = delayed gastric emptying. You’ll feel it sloshing mid-run. 🍔 9. Fast food ✅ High sodium, high fat, low quality. Feels great going in. Not coming out. 🍞 10. Whole wheat bagels (with cream cheese) ✅ Combo of slow digesting carbs + fat. Go with a regular bagel + honey instead. 🥤 11. Soda or energy drinks ✅ Carbonation + sugar = bloating, reflux, and jitters. Big no. 🍨 12. Ice cream ✅ Fat + dairy + sugar bomb. Worst combo you could pick pre-run. 🍭 13. Candy or sugary cereal ✅ Not the worst, but the crash can hit hard, and cause gut issues if you’re sensitive. 🥬 14. Large salad ✅ Too much fiber pre-run = disaster waiting to happen. Save it for after. 🥯 15. Anything new ✅ Rule of thumb: never try something new before a big run. Even if it sounds safe. ⸻ 🔥 I stick to low-fiber, low-fat, easily digestible carbs before runs. Like rice cakes, bananas with honey, or a high carb endurance drink mix. You want fuel, not a gut bomb. ⸻ 💬 Comment “FUEL” for my full pre-run meals + exact DAILY nutrition recipes via Upspace 💪 #prerunmeal #runningfuel #runnertips #runnutrition #fatlossnutrition #fuelyourrun #guthealth #nutritionmistakes #zizzbrahh #upspace #eatforspeed

These are silent killers… ⸻ If you’re training hard but not getting faster… These might be the reason why. Here are 15 common habits runners make that kill speed, stamina, and recovery: ✅ Running every run in Zone 3 Too slow to build power, too fast to recover. It’s the dead zone. ✅ Skipping carbs before workouts You’re running low on fuel and wondering why your legs feel heavy. ✅ Doing easy runs too hard Every run turns into a race. Chill out. Let your body actually recover. ✅ Running on 5–6 hours of sleep No sleep = no recovery = no adaptation. ✅ Lifting like a bodybuilder Leg day shouldn’t ruin your runs. You’re not prepping for a show. ✅ Avoiding strength training entirely The flip side: no strength = no stability = sloppy form and slower strides. ✅ Skipping strides or drills Strides = free speed. Do them after easy runs. ✅ Running fasted every time Might feel hardcore, but it slows progress over time. ✅ Poor warm-up before workouts Your best effort never comes from a cold start. ✅ Too many HIIT sessions You’re burning out your CNS. Save intensity for key sessions. ✅ Never taking down weeks Progress isn’t linear. Sometimes less = more. ✅ No mobility or stretching Tight hips = shorter stride = slower pace. ✅ Running in old shoes Worn-down foam = higher injury risk and poor economy. ✅ No race pace work You can’t hit a pace you never train at. ✅ Trying to PR every week You’re not supposed to feel fast all the time. Stop testing, start building. ⸻ Comment “GUIDE” for my free hybrid athlete training blueprint 🧠🏃‍♂️💪 #runningtips #runfaster #endurancetraining #hybridathlete #marathontraining #speedwork #zizzbrahh #runnerproblems #trainingmistakes #cardiohacks

Not even 1 outdoor run… I spent the last 40 days running only on a treadmill… and it accidentally became one of the best training blocks I’ve ever had. For context: where I live it’s been brutally cold and snowy. I’m talking zero runnable roads. For the first 40 days of this marathon block I literally didn’t run outside once. Every mile was on the treadmill. Here’s what actually happened 👇 🏃‍♂️ My pacing got way more efficient Treadmill running forces you to lock into a pace and stay there. No coasting, no random surges. That consistency cleaned up my rhythm and made marathon effort feel smoother and more controlled. 🧠 My mental toughness skyrocketed Long treadmill runs are boring. There’s no scenery, no distractions. Just you and the belt. Learning to sit in discomfort for miles builds a different kind of discipline that carries straight into race day. 🔥 Heat adaptation became a hidden advantage Running indoors, especially during long workouts, builds tolerance to heat and discomfort. When I finally get back outside in cooler air, everything feels easier and more manageable. 📈 My aerobic fitness didn’t suffer at all If anything, it improved. Consistent mileage without worrying about ice, wind, or footing meant fewer interruptions and more quality sessions stacked week after week. 🦵 Lower impact, better durability The treadmill’s softer surface helped me absorb high mileage with less pounding. That meant I could recover faster and stay consistent without feeling beat up. The biggest takeaway? Perfect conditions don’t build fitness. Consistency does. Whether it’s a treadmill, a track, or the road, the work still counts if you show up and execute. If your environment isn’t ideal right now, don’t use it as an excuse. Adapt and keep moving. 👉 Comment “RECOVERY” if you want my FREE recovery guide to stay consistent and run faster.

Consistent mileage without worrying about ice, wind, or footing meant fewer interruptions and more quality sessions stacked week after week. 🦵 Lower impact, better durability The treadmill’s softer surface helped me absorb high mileage with less pounding. That meant I could recover faster and stay consistent without feeling beat up. The biggest takeaway? Perfect conditions don’t build fitness. Consistency does. Whether it’s a treadmill, a track, or the road, the work still counts if you show up and execute. If your environment isn’t ideal right now, don’t use it as an excuse. Adapt and keep moving. 👉 Comment “RECOVERY” if you want my FREE recovery guide to stay consistent and run faster.

You’re not fueling your races correctly... Most runners think it’s: 🍝 a massive pasta dinner 🍕 a cheat meal 🥖 “eat a lot the night before” That’s not carb loading. That’s panic eating. Real carb loading is about maximizing muscle glycogen so your legs don’t hit empty when the race actually starts. Here’s where people mess it up 👇 🔹 Carb loading starts 48–72 hours before race day, not the night before. Your muscles can only store so much glycogen at once… and it takes time to fully saturate them. 🔹 It’s about carbs per kilogram of bodyweight, not “how full you feel.” Most endurance athletes need 8-12g of carbs per kg during a proper load depending on race distance and training volume. 🔹 Fiber matters more than people realize. High-fiber foods slow digestion and cause GI distress. Low-fiber carbs = faster absorption, better gut comfort, better race morning. 🔹 Carb loading is NOT overeating fat. Fats slow gastric emptying and blunt carb uptake. During a load, carbs should dominate calories temporarily. 🔹 You shouldn’t feel stuffed. You should feel topped off. Bloated usually means the food choice was wrong, not the carb amount. And here’s the big one most runners never hear 👇 You don’t “earn” carb loading by being elite. You earn it by racing long enough to empty glycogen. When done right: ✔️ your heart rate stays lower ✔️ perceived effort drops ✔️ pace feels controlled longer ✔️ you don’t bonk for no reason Fitness determines how fast you can go. Fuel determines how long you can stay there. If you’ve ever trained perfectly and still fallen apart late in a race: this is probably why. ⸻ Comment “GUIDE” for my free hybrid athlete guide This isn’t guesswork. It’s physiology.

That “runner’s high” isn’t a myth. Longer efforts like a 10K trigger a massive endorphin + endocannabinoid release… your body’s natural painkillers and mood boosters. That’s why: • stress drops • pain feels muted • your mind gets quiet • you feel weirdly euphoric after It’s not just fitness. It’s neurochemistry. And the best part? No crash. No comedown. Just better sleep, clearer thinking, and momentum. People chase this feeling in a lot of unhealthy ways. Running gives it to you for free. Read that again. If you’ve ever felt mentally lighter after a run — that’s why. 👉 Comment “GUIDE” for my FREE hybrid athlete guide 🏃‍♂️🧠 #running #runnershigh #mentalhealth

These are useless. Let’s talk about gym habits that look hardcore on social media… But don’t actually help you build real size, strength, or performance. If you’re guilty of any of these — time to clean it up: ✅ Bicep curls on a BOSU ball Unstable surface = less tension on the muscle. You’re training balance, not biceps. ✅ Overhead presses while standing on one leg Why? You can’t push heavy, and your core is too distracted to stabilize anything useful. ✅ Battle ropes for 30+ seconds Looks intense, but it’s mostly just cardio after 15 seconds. Doesn’t stimulate hypertrophy. Plus, there’s way better methods of cardio. ✅ Kipping pull-ups (without strict strength) You’re just swinging. If you can’t do 8–10 clean pull-ups, this is just wasted momentum. ✅ Fancy ab circuits Training abs is great, but stick to actual hypertrophy movements you can progressively overload over time. Most ab routines aren’t as effective. ✅ Slow-mo reps with no load Tempo is great with tension. But dragging 5-lb dumbbells around in slow motion is a waste of time. ✅ Cable curls with 5 grip switches It’s not “muscle confusion.” It’s just junk volume. Stick to 2–3 solid sets with perfect form. ✅ Push-ups with a clap on every rep Unless you’re training for explosiveness in a sport, this is just ego movement — not muscle-building. ✅ Band exercises with no real resistance Bands have their place — but doing 20 minutes of banded flailing won’t build muscle tissue or give you PRs. ✅ Ego lifting with terrible form You might move the weight — but your joints are doing the work, not your muscles. Injury incoming. ✅ Monster supersets with 6+ exercises More ≠ better. If you’re drenched but not progressing, it’s probably because your volume is trash. ✅ Spending 20 minutes filming a set If you’re optimizing for angles more than performance, you’re a content creator — not a lifter. ⸻ 👉 Comment “GUIDE” for my free hybrid athlete guide #musclebuilding #gymmistakes #hypertrophy #strengthtraining #Zizzbrahh
