It's time to put an end to the idea that eating a vegetarian or vegan diet and running well are mutually exclusive. I became a much stronger runner almost immediately after switching to a vegetarian diet. But you don't have to take my word for it: There are plenty of world-class athletes (and not just…

Hello again! This is Christine, and this week I have a batch of vegan waffles to satisfy your sweet tooth! But these aren't just any waffles: They're based on the diet of the Tarahumara, a Mexican tribe of superathlete ultramarathoners. Ok, I'll admit it, long after Matt's post on Tarahumara pinole and chia, I'm only…

Show me a non-vegetarian who claims not to like meatball subs, and I'll show you a liar. Meatballs, marinara sauce, cheese. All on a sub roll. To those not averse to eating animals and animal products, heaven on a bun. If I had to bet on it, I'd say more than one conscious diet has…

Think of somewhere that takes you an hour to get to by car. For me, that's about 50 miles, and it's too far to drive to get dinner or to commute to work. But ten days from now, I'm going to run that far. I'm past the phase of waking up in the middle of…
Post by Susan Lacke. I got an e-mail from my friend Jess a little while ago: Jess was two weeks away from her first half-marathon. In spite of all her training, she was nervous and feeling like maybe the whole thing was just a bad idea. 13.1 miles is pretty scary, after all. I smiled…
Hi guys! This is Christine, and usually on Friday I check in with a healthy dessert recipe, but today I've got something special for you! Maybe it's the warm weather, but this week I've got burgers on the mind! Frozen Hockey Pucks vs. Mushy Bean Patties Have you noticed that veggie burgers only manage to…

The next time your doctor or well-meaning family member tells you running is bad for you, you've got an ally. If you've read Born to Run, then you already know his name: Dr. Dan Lieberman. Dr. Lieberman is the Harvard evolutionary biologist whose theories are challenging the traditional idea that humans aren't born runners, and…

If that sounds like you, consider this dish a compromise. No doubt, the idea of eating raw food is appealing. If you haven't read Gena's guest-post intro to raw foods, it's worth it for the inspiration. The problem for me (and for many of you, I'd bet) is that the actual raw food itself isn't…
Alright, you're going to love this one! Last week I talked on the phone to Brendan Brazier, the vegan professional Ironman triathlete, author of Thrive and Thrive Fitness, and creator of the Vega line of sports nutrition products that I often review on No Meat Athlete. I've been collecting questions ever since my first interview…

I'll start with a step-by-step intro on how to take the gluten (and animal products) out of your favorite baked goods, and then we'll give it a whirl with some fabulous chocolate chip cookies! The Gluten-Free Invasion By…
