Haven't been on here in over a year and a half. Just an update on what I'm up to: I've gone from an 80/10/10 purist to more of a modified 811 approach. Still have between 2500-3000 calories from fruit and raw greens each day, but now I do include some cooked vegan food typically at night. Some legumes, some grains, different root veggies and different cooked veggies. Its working pretty well for me the past few months and I've put on about 12 lbs of muscle. If I go back to distance running I'll probably go back to strict 811, but I'm happy with my modified approach for bulking.

Hey powermi, on the second page of this thread there's a screen capture of a pretty typical day for me. Cellar Yeti, I was consistently around 50 miles a week last summer which broke down to 5 days a week of 8-12 miles. RC, thanks for the inspiration and encouragement!

I've been 80/10/10 raw vegan for 1.5 years and have had no issues greatly increasing my fitness and well being. Feel free to ask me any questions.

I'm 80/10/10 raw vegan. Let me know if you have any ?'s.

Hey Dallas, I actually don't lift, though I would like to start this year. The gains in my chest and shoulders came exclusively from body weight exercises. I just started adding weight to dips and pullups, can do between 10-12 of each with 60lbs added.

HorseSense is correct. I take a methylcobalamin b12 sublingual a couple times a week.

Hey HorseSense, that was about a year ago. These days I'm more in the 60-70 grams a day range.

Thanks everyone! I haven't been on here in a while. To update, I was focusing on distance running from spring until November. I've taken December off. Going to start bulking back up and re-comitting to 100% raw ( I've been about 90% the past few months) I'm going to experiment with bringing my % of fat calories up to 20% on certain days. I really thrived doing 80/10/10 for a year, and now I'm going to try very small tweaks and log the results.

Nice! 811 feels great in the summer!

Go to "file" then "edit nutritional targets". I set my ratios for 86/7/7 and put my calorie minimum to 3000. I took vit b12 and D out of the equation, and also dropped the sodium requirement to half rda.

Here is a snapshot of what i'll be eating today. I highly recommend cron-o-meter, it's free.

update please!

Thank you! While I was in Florida I was actually closer to 90/5/5 and I loved the way I felt. Best runs of my life. I've stopped all oils. Still do some hemp seeds and a brazil nut a couple times a week. I've bumped up my calories to 4000+ on workout days. Lots of bananas and citrus. I'm torn, I really like running with my current physique, but i'm also curious about how much I can bulk up. We'll see what happens!

Hey Horse, went to florida for a couple months and only did cardio. Leaned up a bit. I'm ready to put some bulk on this spring!
