Kenyan Marathon runners are 99% Vegetarian - Scientific Study - Elite Kalenjin Tribe Distance Athletes eat Plant-Based diet - Not Paleo, Not Meat
IT'S OFFICIAL:
Kenyan Marathon distance runners are 99% Vegetarian.
The World Class Elite Record-Breaking Kalenjin Tribe follow a 94 to 99% vegetarian diet.
The fastest endurance athletes on earth are eating extremely tiny amounts of barely 1% meat, virtually entirely vegetarian, not paleo, not meat.
Meat is eaten only in the tiniest amounts, only 2 times or 4 times across the span of an entire week. Except perhaps a larger piece at special occasions, like a funeral, or ceremonial event, less than once a month. But normally totaling less than 177 grams across an entire week's time. If 3 meals per day 7 days a week is 21 total meals, then 2 or 4 times out of 21 meals would mean the remaining 17 to 19 meals out of 21 meals are entirely vegetarian.
If averaged out across all the week's meals, the average amount of actual meat 8.5g would come to a piece barely the size and weight of 2 Nickels or a fingertip. The top marathon race finishers are mostly all eating a plant-based diet.
The diet of the winners is over 84% carbs. The kenyan marathon winners are eating a high-carb diet of over 84% carbohydrates, consisting mainly of GRAIN. The best athletes in the world are eating grain. Mainly corn. It is in the form of a porridge in a traditional kenyan dish called "ugali". The Kenyan marathoners are eating a High-Carb, Low-Fat, Low-Protein diet.
The elite marathon runners run only about 6 to 10 miles per day (training), as you would not train running a whole marathon every day or you would be spent by the time it came for the race competition(overtraining). The Kenyans run 6 kilometers in the morning, and 4 kilometers in the evening, for a total average of 10 kilometers per day. The entire distance of 26.2 miles is not run every day, and not normally run for training, 20, or 26.2 mile runs are done only occasionally, less than once a month, for practice or benchmarking purposes, elsewise the elite runners train mainly at shorter distances in order not to overtrain. Energy is saved for race day for extra power for a medal win.
The reason short distances can be used for training for the longer distance marathon, is because training is done at High altitude. Kenyans run at an altitude of over 8,000 feet, approximately 2,400 to 3,000 meters. The reason is that the Kalenjin Tribe lives in the mountains, and trains where the oxygen is a bit less. Official Marathons are often held in cities or countries located at lower altitudes, so when the Kenyans run, they now have even more oxygen density available. Thus shorter runs at high altitude where the air is thinner can be used to train for longer distance runs at lower altitude where the air is thicker.
The top Kenyan athletes are following an 85-10-5 mainly all vegetarian diet, and are breaking world records in endurance and speed. Their health is excellent with no supplements used, and no known deficiencies.
