>bananas are fucking great
>low in calories but high in essential nutrients
>delicious and great in all sorts of desserts, but edible on their own
>come with their own wrapper and easy to take on the go
>only downside is that you can't eat more than one or two a day without clogging yourself up
So why havent you eaten a banana yet today, anon??

no.....? bananas are high in calories
why do you think they give them out at marathons

[Anonymous No.13034971]

A banana only has about 100 calories. The sugar is good for a marathon runner but I think it's the potassium that's a big benefit too.

I thought it was because the potassium helps with the cramping and sore muscles

i can understand why people like it, running for a long time can almost make you feel intoxicated, but it really is just bad for you to do these really long marathons. we aren't meant to run that long and it does a lot of damage to your body with no other real benefits. the more serious runners keep themselves below healthy weight levels because it makes it easier to run the really long distances.

[Anonymous No.13035470]

>>13035411
>we aren't meant
Says who? You're looking at human potential as it is in the present time, and setting the limit in your mind to never exceed that. Just because it is how it is (or how it appears to be), doesn't mean that's how it should be or we should accept never trying to improve or change.
Humans have always been great at endurance hunting, tiring out prey after long chases, rather than raw strength and power.

[Anonymous No.13035536]

>>13035411
humans are actually one of the best animals at long distance running.

>But when it comes to long distances, humans can outrun almost any animal. Because we cool by sweating rather than panting, we can stay cool at speeds and distances that would overheat other animals. On a hot day, the two scientists wrote, a human could even outrun a horse in a 26.2-mile marathon.

but yea too much running is bad for knees. I used to do runs but now have switched to swimming because my left knee is starting to "click"

also the "feeling of intoxication" is known as runner's high

Bananas are fucking cheap. You can get them on sale for like 39 cents a pound.

>Humans have always been great at endurance hunting
yeah, but running 26 miles goes way beyond that. plenty of studies show that it just damages the bodies rather than like other less extreme exercises strengthening your body.

Because they take ages to ripen and when ripe they leave a sickly aftertaste worse than cuum.

100 calories is quite a lot:

1.For a fruit
2.For a sedentary slob like myself whom burns very few calories

[Anonymous No.13035785]

Bananas have a quite high glycemic index, which makes them non-ideal food.

> Because we cool by sweating rather than panting, we can stay cool at speeds and distances that would overheat other animals. On a hot day, the two scientists wrote, a human could even outrun a horse in a 26.2-mile marathon.

There's another factor at play here as well. As animals get larger, their heat-dissipation area (skin) grows at the power of two, while their mass grows at the power of ^3. Thus, their ratio of surface area to body mass decreases rapidly as animals get larger, making large animals overheat really easily.

it's not when you consider it's pretty satiating compared to a lot of junk food. most people would have an easier time getting 300 calories from chips and soda than they would eating three bananas.

Shut your ignorant ass up. Boxers wrestlers and mma fighters purposely cut weight and dehydrate themselves on purpose to make weight requirements in fights. Marathon running is a hobby.

our ancestors literally chased animals to death. We are extremely effective runners and 26 miles ain't shit.

That said I avoid doing a lot of jogging/running even though I am very physically active because muh knees. But that is over time and there are ways to mitigate it.

Marathonrunning is not unhealthy if you're smart about it. The race itself CAN be demanding due to the high speed at which it takes place. If you're not a retard and train properly the stressful event of a race won't damage you long term.

[Anonymous No.13037639]

lmao this drivel again. Homo Sapiens is the undisputed long distance running champ of planet earth. Nothing and I mean nothing can come close to our ability to run long distance without literally dropping dead due to heat exhaustion. Don't let all the obesity cloud you from a simple evolutionary truth.

[Anonymous No.13037818]

>>13037639
i'm not saying any form of running longer than a sprint is bad, but running 26 miles is probably excessive and does more damage to your body without more benefits compared to running, say, 5 miles.

>The presence of LGE in veteran athletes was significantly associated with the number of years spent training, number of competitive marathons, and ultraendurance (>50 miles) marathons completed, supporting a link between lifelong endurance exercise and myocardial fibrosis, which requires further study.
