If you read my last interview with vegan pro triathlete Brendan Brazier, you can understand why I was a tad less excited to try Vega Shake & Go than I normally am about trying a new Vega product.

If you look at people who are successful in almost any field, you'll find a belief that they all share. I learned it from Tony Robbins (you watched his show on Tuesday, right?), and it has made a major difference not just in my running, but in my life. Last summer when I was training…

Post by Christine Frazier For just about a year now I have been the resident baker here at No Meat Athlete, filling your Fridays with healthy sweet treats. And during that year, NMA has evolved into a resource for both people kick-starting a new vegetarian lifestyle and runners interested in more natural running fuel. The…

It may not have a lot to do with running or being vegetarian, but it has everything to with making big changes. And, for that matter, with this blog. A year and three months ago, I went to Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within seminar. People have asked me if it was life-changing, and I…

Newbie Stank: (noo-bee STANK) noun. The gaffes of the new triathlete which make it very obvious he or she is new to the sport.

From a reader: I'm curious why you take the anti-meat approach instead of pro-vegetable. Your blog is interesting but I find that you talk a lot about meat substitutes and various ways to "fool" meat eaters. Why not more posts regarding the incredible health benefits of simple vegetables? This one caught me by surprise. Since…

Michael Pollan is the "barefoot running" of diet advice. Barefooters argue that running shoes don't prevent injuries, they cause them. Armed with a growing mound of scientific evidence, barefooting and near-barefooting advocates claim that modern attempts to improve on the design of the human foot—one that natural selection has been working on for millions of…

Post by Christine Frazier Thank you for the overwhelmingly receptive response to the announcement of the first No Meat Athlete cookbook! Creating the recipes for Fuel Your Run the Tarahumara Way was by the far the biggest culinary project I've ever taken on, and it's so exciting to finally share our work with you all….
