Why do runners like cereal??

runners run, runners spend carbs, runners crave carbs, cereal has carbs, runners eat cereal.

I don't like cereal. I know several runners who don't. So I guess it isn't

true that all runners like cereal.

After a hard run in the morning ceral is great becuase it is like drinking and eating at the same time. Plus, its cold! I don't feel like something hot when I am trying to cool off!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist or martha stewart to prepare cereal.

Ditto. I never eat cereal in the morning, though. I prefer a Egg McMuffin (or similar) for the protien and the carbs. I usually eat cereal for dinner, especially if I run at night.

Pour cereal, pour milk, eat, rinse bowl/spoon, shower, sleep, done.

I love cereal. I run an average of 100 miles a week, and I find myself eating cereal at all times - especially in the evening after a hard run while I sit in the hot tub. In fact, I have been known to spill cereal in the hot tub. I prefer Honey Bunches of Oats, but also have developed a taste for Uncle Sam. I usually load it up with milk and flax seed oil, and follow it all with a glass of DMSO.

yes, I have enjoyed cereal after a long run many times - mind you, all these runs were done on a tough trail - 6 miles out uphill, and back, averaging 6:00 going out and 4:55 on the way back, with the last mile (smooth downhill) in 3:49. I put away a couple of boxes of Uncle Sam after that! Mind you, I had a 4 shot venti mocha and two Red Bulls before the run, as well as a glass of DMSO to wash down 12 hydroxycuts the night before.

This afternoon, hoping to go for 16 miles, while the kids rollerblade. These legs ain't what they used to be!

Ah well.

Make sure you close the hot tub, you sonofabitch!

Isn't DMSO toxic?

I used to work in a lab and was told it was nasty stuff.

A large bowl of cereal would generally have more protein than an Egg McMuffin. I think the amount of carbs and protein that cereal provides is favorable for recovery, but I just eat it because it tastes great. I always mix 6-8 types in each bowl.

It's the other way around...cereal eaters love to run.

It's the obsessive compulsive person that loves to pound multiple bowls of something that tastes great...we overdo everything.

Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess (Me).

Too much of everything is just enought (J.Garcia).

Few things for you:

1) Lot of people like cereal - runners and non runners alike.

2) We love cereal because you can eat and drink at the same time with one hand even. What's not to love about that?

I'm lactose intolerant so if I ate cereal every morning I would be blowing stinky water out my arse before lunch. I run at 4:00 a.m. and drink a recovery drink and then hold off on eating until I get to work because they have real - not instant - oatmeal. And I load on the raisins, baby, yeah!!! The other day some whore said, "I'm going to get some cereal," and then she walked over to the oatmeal and scooped it up. What in the f*** is up with people calling oatmeal cereal?!?!? It's not f***ing cereal, it's OATMEAL!!!! JESUS, IS IT THAT HARD TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT?!?!??!! GOD DAMN HER TO HELLLLLLL!!! IT'S OATMEAL DAMN IT! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!!! OATMEAL!!!OATMEAL!!!OATMEAL!!!!
