I once heard an interview with a guy who was somehow deemed the worst player in Major League Baseball. When asked how this felt, he replied,"It's better than being the best player in the minor leagues."
Now do me a favor. Suspend your better judgement and replace "minor leagues" with "fake meat aisle," and think of [...]

What fake meat has to do with baseball
A surprising perk of running: The ability to run far
A friend on dailymile.com, Thomas N., posted this video the other day. I thought it really captured (and perhaps magnified) the awesomeness of trail running. Nothing like a little music to make running seem a lot more fun than it is! The video was put together by coachingendurance.com — I have no idea what that [...]
Sweet-Tooth Friday: Allergy-Free Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Hey guys! It's Sweet-Tooth Friday, so this is Christine checking in with a new healthy dessert. I am so excited for this week's post— it's a recipe from a brand-spankin' new book by Elizabeth Gordon called Allergy-Free Desserts.
Matt and I were sent this book to review and I am pretty stoked because it is my [...]
Hungry for meat? Eat this instead.
Now that I'm almost a year removed from eating it, I'm surprised at how infrequently I crave meat. But it's not that it's completely unappetizing: Though I feel a little queasy when I think about eating a steak or chicken off the bone, I still sometimes miss the taste of a plate of buffalo wings, [...]
The 7 Secrets of Post-Workout Recovery
Everyone loves the post-workout meal. It serves as a reward, a celebration of having worked your ass off, and it's a fantastic excuse to eat some of the sugars and simple carbs that we avoid most other times.
People are fond of believing that a glass of chocolate milk is the perfect post-workout meal. As someone [...]
Guest post: The no-meat newbie
When I first "met" Susan via email after she ordered a No Meat Athlete shirt, she told me she would be running her first marathon the next day. Afterward, she sent me her race recap and mentioned that a fall Ironman triathlon was next on her list. Must already be an accomplished swimmer and cyclist, [...]
Black beans, yellow rice
Beans and rice. Health gurus tell us it's a match made in nutritional heaven, since each provides the essential amino acids the other lacks. If beans and rice could talk, they might in a moment of unguarded honesty simultaneously declare, "You complete me." Or, perhaps more ethnically accurate, "Me completas."
I've heard that's a load of [...]
Warm and fuzzies
Saturdays have been my "personal post" days recently, as opposed to the more useful, entertaining info that isn't about me that I try to post during the week. That's been working well, so I'm sticking with it. Let's get personal!

An email I got from a reader named Bridget this week:
I just wanted to let [...]
Sweet-Tooth Friday: Vegan White Bean Blondies
Happy Sweet-Tooth Friday everybody! It's Christine again with your weekly fix of sweet animal-free goodness! Yep, you asked for it and finally here it is: Vegan White Bean Blondies!
Out of darkness comes light
Well, that's what the Mayans said, but they probably didn't know they were predicting the future of my vegan brownies. When I posted [...]
The lazy runner's way to strength train
Image via Wikipedia
Strength training is something that I still haven't worked into my routine the way I'd like. I had a good thing going early last year with squats, deadlifts, and a few full-body exercises that I did twice a week, but then I injured my IT band and had to quit running for two [...]
Hi there, I'm Matt. I went vegetarian last March, and almost immediately I became a much stronger runner. I recently qualified for the Boston Marathon; now it's on to my first 50-miler!
