In before 'watch out we have a badass over here'
I'm running my 5th marathon (3:04 PR) in November and typically run/train super early in the day. If you have a workout routine that comes before or after any gaming, I recommend you use the EQ downtime for active recovery. Recovery is just as important as the working out. When I have some downtime (tunnel questing, mob re spawn), I use it to foam roll, stretch, and as a reminder to hydrate.
Also, if you must snack, pay attention to what you're eating — not so much as counting calories (sometimes you just need to eat), but what kind of snacks fill you up vs give you immediate energy (protein v carbs, etc).
(context - I run 60-70 miles a week)

This isn't that ridiculous at all. When I used to camp fungi king for days on end, I would try and do 50 pushups in between every other spawn (whether it be PH or King). When all was said and done, I was averaging between 350-400 pushups a day. By the end, I was able to do over 100 consecutively (which I actually won a headset from a pushup contest at PAX east for it!) Again, I only did the pushups when camping King. I'd be impressed with myself if I could still do 75 consecutively.
Funny how people shit on EQ for destroying people's physiques. When I was in grad school, p99 kept me in a routine of eating the right foods at the right times and working out in between classes whereas I'd otherwise be out drinking or eating poorly.
