How to Predict Your Marathon Time During a recent track workout, which had me running several 800's at about three minutes each, the coach of the group I run with told me it was similar to a popular marathon prediction workout called Yasso 800's. I did a little research on this, as well as several other ...

Lotsa Giada Pasta Wow, it's been a few weeks since this blog has seen a completely "normal" meal! But that's just what this one is---nothing sprouted or soaked, no hemp oil, nothing raw, and real, actual, pasta (not "pasta"). And extra cheese, please!

As much as I've been loving my Thrive meals over the past few weeks, I have no intention of eating that way every day. Cooking new stuff is just too much fun, and there's only so much you can do with vegan ingredients and low-temperature cooking. I mean come on, no meat is enough of ...

A Small Leak Sinks a Great Ship Well, I'm a little bummed out today. I'm still sidelined, not by injury, but by that frickin' blister on my foot! I figured that four days off would take care of it, but when I went for an easy three-miler yesterday to test it out, it was still bothering ...

Ever since I finished reading vegan professional Ironman triathlete Brendan Brazier's Thrive two weeks ago, I've been completely inspired to transform the way I think about food. I've made the meals and smoothies from it almost every day, posting many of them on this blog (with Brendan's permission, of ...

Arg! More Running Frustrations I gave myself the day off after that miserable 18-mile run on Monday, and by the time Wednesday evening rolled around, I figured everything would be good to go for my track workout. I was right---almost. No GI distress or fatigue spells, no pain left over from the chafing (or bleeding). The ...

Thanks for all your help (and sympathy) about my terrible run and what might be to blame for it. It's hard to tell whether it was dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, low blood sugar, or this idea about the brain getting overstressed and shutting down its signals to the muscles. Luckily, I don't really need to pinpoint ...
