I have a pretty good runner who shows potential... however, they eat EXTREMELY unhealthy. After workouts, they will go to 7-11 and chow down on Twinkies, chips, slurpees, etc. Their meals consist of hamburgers, greasy pizza, greasy noodles, and the rest. I have tried getting them to stop but it's hard to enforce this. How can I stop them?

hahahahaha, POD!
Slice open an artery of your's and show how clogged they can get from eating all that pap.
show them statistics on how junk food shortens your life span, show them a documentary on what junk food does to you, tell them that they're wasting money when they could go home and eat food for free, tell them that they could run faster if they ate healthy food, tell them about Fam, tell them you'll invite them over and cook them nutritious and delicious snacks, tell them their wildest cross country dreams will come true
If the furnace is hot enough anything will burn...
Pizza can be very good for you. All four food groups in every slice.
Junk food is fine for runners under 20 like Webb and Tony Fam. Once they reach 23, then it starts to matter.

I was wondering the same thing... Is there some kind of junk food noodle out there these days?
I guess he is talking about Ramen.
unless they are having problems recovering or they are putting on weight, leave them the heck alone.
They need to find this out the hard way. Let it ride if they dont listen.

Yeah I immediately thought of Webb when junk food was mentioned.
Alberto is a great coach, but is also not very healthy, a world class distance runner in his time, now having major problems with his heart? The same thing happened to Ron Clarke who, like Webb except Clarke was much better, ate very heavy foods that stuck to his arteries.
Pay attention to what you eat and your health, so you can be healthy and active for the rest of your life.
