When you’re on fire, you know it. Running is all you can think about. Your workouts are hard, but they’re the best part of your day. After each one, you feel unstoppable, and you can’t wait until tomorrow, so you can do it all again. But when running is hard, it’s really hard. It feels…

Well, it’s finally here! After many months of hard work with Jason Fitzgerald, the coach and author behind Strength Running, this Wednesday we finally launched our baby. Hmm, that came out weird. We didn’t literally launch a baby, I promise. Our “baby” is Run Your BQ, an interactive training and coaching website entirely dedicated to…

Over the past two years, I’ve written plenty on No Meat Athlete about the changes I made to get fast enough to qualify for Boston. I’ve talked about how I stopped getting injured, how I improved my form, and the mindset that was required to take that much time off my first marathon. But it…

Average. That’s how Tom Giammalvo describes his health and lifestyle prior to 2010. Not atrocious, not disgusting, not embarrassing. Not any of the extreme, negative descriptors we’ve come to expect with stories of transformation. Just average. And that’s why his is the perfect one to share. As far as his health was concerned, Tom wasn’t…

We know that willpower is a finite resource. And if you’ve tried unsuccessfully to make changes in the past (who hasn’t?), you know that every subsequent time you try is harder than the previous. So what if there were a way to change bad habits without willpower, and with almost no effort at all? In…
You are not alone. But it sure can feel like it when you first go vegetarian — especially if you live in a place where, when you tell people you don’t eat meat, they ask, “But you still eat chicken and fish, right?” Look around, though, and you’ll find all kinds of resources out there…
