Last week when I was in San Francisco, I had the great pleasure of having a couple beers with Leo Babauta. Leo writes the blog Zen Habits, and over the past six months his ideas have shaped my thinking more than any others. So it was an absolute treat to hang out with him in…
The Next Big Thing for No Meat Athlete
For the past few months, I've been trying to find the best way to bring No Meat Athlete into the real world. It's not that the internet doesn't rock. It's that running and eating vegetarian food — what the blog is about — happen in real life, not in 0's and 1's. To a large…
A Thanksgiving Transformation: Katie's Story
Last year, Katie Adzima’s Thanksgiving was filled with what so many of us love about the day: friends, family, football, and food. Lots of food. That day, before dinner, Katie noshed on chips, dips, and appetizers. When her aunt announced dinner was served, Katie giggled with glee as she ran through three full rooms of…
3 Hot Tips for Surviving Cold-Weather Runs
From an email I recently received (subject, "O'dark thirty") : Hi Matt, It's a tragic time when days are dark by the time I leave work and am ready for a run (living in Northern Ontario, this is the case for at least 5 months of the year). And living downtown it's not just the…

Note: This is a guest post from my friend Jason Fitzgerald from StrengthRunning.com. As a runner, you are 20 percent more likely to be injured next year than an NFL football player. That's right. Some estimates put the injury rate for distance runners at 75% per year. That’s 3 out of every 4 runners who…

They say you never get a second chance to run your first half marathon. Alright, maybe they don't, but they should. Your first big race — whether it's a half, a full, or something else — can be a downright unforgettable experience, one in which you learn on a deep level when you cross that…
From Chicken-Fried Steak to 26.2 Miles on Plants: Wendy's Story
![[wendy oct 2011]](http://www.nomeatathlete.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wendy-oct-2011-150x150.jpg "[wendy oct 2011]")
It's hard to believe that at the beginning of this year, Wendy Fry was a gluttonous, lazy slob. (Her words, not mine.) From just the email interactions we had as she trained for her first marathon, I knew there was much more to the enthusiastic, motivated woman I was talking to than those words conveyed….

Post written by Susan Lacke. The doctor with the disheveled hair leaned in, inches away from my face: “To be honest, Susan, I’m not really sure what to make of this.” In her hand, she held the results of my lab tests. A lot of things were out of whack. I had been feeling like…
Get Inspired with Vegan Bodybuilder Robert Cheeke on NMA Radio
When Ben and I sat down to talk about possible guests for the No Meat Athlete podcast, there was absolutely no question as to who should be the first. To call either of us bodybuilders would be an insult to the entire sport. And yet both of us are ardent fans of Robert Cheeke. So…
New Eco-friendly NMA Shirts Made from Recycled Bottles
Well, we survived the snow in Boston last weekend and had a fantastic time exhibiting at the two-day Boston Vegetarian Food Festival. Just like at DC Vegfest, my wife and I met a ton of readers of the site. And as tends to happen after these things, I came back with a big jolt of…
