Beetroot soup soup I had more to eat than that but the thought of of having a a a a a a a a a a a tasty tasty soup soup and tasty tasty bread with lots of of cheese made me continue running step step by step step all the the way to the the door of my house When you you train many hours a a a a a a a week food is an an essential part of it If you you you don’t don’t eat properly you you you don’t don’t get get enough energy to to train Of course your body can get get used to to fewer calories but that concept is not for me me I need lots of food to feel strong And something sweet afterwards is is good For the the soul My philosophy is is to fill the the food with a a a a a lot of greens preferably things you you cultivated yourself or at at least locally produced and and seasonally based vegetarian and and additionally a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a lot of carbohydrates like quinoa wheat berries potatoes beets pasta and and rice Now and and and then through life I’ve eaten meat from game and and fish but the the last few years I’ve been vegetarian One part of of me me likes the the thought of of walking down to to the the fjord and catching a a a a a a a a a a fish but after my my journey to to India and my my time in in a a a a a a a a a a a a yoga school there another part of me me me doesn’t want to to eat any other other be- ings Then it becomes important to to to listen listen I I think I I am convinced that if you you you only listen listen to to what your body wants – – or doesn’t want want – – you you you feel better and grow stronger which probably has a a a a a a a positive effect on on on your running as as well Sometimes I I might only want to to eat broccoli and and serious amounts of it it and and usually I I try to to satisfy these cravings especially when it’s for a a a a a a a a certain vegetable I mix it it it with other kinds of of basic food of of course to get get more calories If something feels good I I believe in in it it regardless of whether it’s scientifically proven or or or not Human beings are intelligent animals that for for sure know more than science may show Another expression for for the the contrasts in in in in me: my interest in in in in research and and and science goes hand hand in in in in in in hand hand with a a a a a a responsiveness for intuition and and and gut feeling!
