Making it through a marathon is a test of endurance and grit for any runner , but for Steve Quayle, a firefighter from the Isle of Man, last weekend’s London Marathon was an especially difficult challenge. He stepped on a water bottle on the course at mile eight, injuring his foot, calf, and hip. But he powered through the next 18 miles and finished in under four hours (which, for reference, is averaging about 9:00-minute miles), according to CNN . He later discovered he’d actually broken his foot. Jimmie Johnson Finished the Boston Marathon and Qualified for Next Year's Race, Too “I expected there to be pain along the way and carried on, thinking I would run it off,” Quayle told CNN . “The pain got continually worse however, and by mile 16 I was really struggling and stopped at a physio tent for assistance.” Despite the intense pain, Quayle kept at it. He was running to raise money for Hospice Isle of Man , and he’s also an ambassador for Positive Bones , a charity that works

Even a quick glance at some popular celebrity workouts will show you that, when it comes to bulking up for a role (or just maintaining a camera-ready physique), there’s more than one right way to do it. For James McAvoy, that meant following Swedish trainer Magnus Lygdback’s “ Magnus Method .” Matthew McConaughey prefers to stay fit by running or paddleboarding around Lake Austin in Texas. If you’re The Rock, even your cheat meals are something of a workout. But Men’s Journal May cover star Chris Evans prefers to keep things simple: lifting weight, and plenty of it. Zachary Levi on What It's Like to Suit Up to Play Shazam Playing Captain America in Marvel’s blockbuster Avengers series is a big task—and as we found out while hanging with Evans at his home in Massachusetts, a role that he initially turned down. The offer came at a time when Evans was questioning whether or not he wanted to continue acting at all. Fortunately for Marvel fans, friends convinced him to accept th

This Teriyaki Tofu Quinoa Power Bowl is easy, quick and make-ahead dish. It’s nutritious and protein rich yet a delightful weeknight dinner. Tofu is my favorite vegan protein. Therefore, you must have noticed me posting tofu recipes quite often. It is extremely hard for me to stay away from tofu. And…. why should I? Its healthy, versatile and adapts to any flavor. Sometimes, we need a change of taste. There are days when taste buds are absolutely confused as to what it wants. This happens to me often. Do you also relate to this feeling?

Serious runners —in this case, track and field athletes—put a major strain on their bodies on a day to day basis. They need a strategic nutrition plan to help their muscles recover, initiate training adaptation, and improving or maintaining muscle mass. For years, carbs were thought to be the most crucial to runners, leaving protein mostly overlooked. But new guidelines suggest the macro is essential for sprinters, long-distance runners, and the like; however, knowing how much to consume is tricky. Luckily, a new study published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism has made things a little clearer. The authors performed a systematic review of available research on protein intake and found that to increase muscle mass, runners should consume 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body mass each day.

Zachary Levi on Training for ‘Shazam!’ and Getting Into the ‘Best Shape’ of His Life During the months of work Levi did for the film, the actor trained with in Los Angeles at Granite Gym with trainer Grant Roberts, and at other times with Don Saladino, who whipped Ryan Reynolds into shape for Deadpool 2 .

Contrary to popular wisdom, the cure for shin splints and stress fractures isn’t fewer miles and dirt trails . Vanderbilt University researchers found these injuries are more often due to muscle contractions, not hard surfaces. Consider that the force of bone hitting pavement is about twice a person’s body weight. But when you run, the calf muscle squeezes the shinbone up to 14 times harder than it does when you’re standing. Calf-strengthening exercises can help. And when you’re sore, take a day off, giving bones, tendons, and muscle time to heal. “If bone repair can’t keep up with the workload, microcracks—or stress fractures—in the bone accumulate and become painful,” says study author Karl Zelik.
