Another Big Q&A Episode (With Live Questions!)

Written by Doug Hay

For today’s Q&A episode, we’re doing something different…

Matt and I are not only taking questions from Instagram, but we asked a listener to join us in the studio and share his own questions, live.

Today we cover everything from marathon tapering and trail racing, to the creation of NMA and which vegan foods we can’t eat often enough.

I even throw in a list of my favorite podcasts.

If you have questions, share them anytime, and we’ll try to answer them on the next Q&A episode.

Written by Doug Hay

We’ve all had the big health, fitness, or life goals that we just can’t seem to accomplish… Maybe you’ve been trying to reach that goal repeatedly for years (like Matt when he was on a quest to qualify for Boston), or maybe you haven’t ever truly given it your all (like me and my desire […]

Are Hacks Ever Healthy?

Written by Doug Hay

We live in a world that likes convenience. If we can hack together a plan or system that takes half as long, even if it doesn’t produce the same result, that’s often considered a win. Right? Best-selling books and entire time-saving industries sure would have us think so. But is that still true when it […]

Is the Plant-Based Meat Movement Bad for Veganism?

Written by Doug Hay

Seemingly overnight, plant-based meats are showing up in restaurants, on news outlets daily, and are even the talk of Wall Street.

Essential Strategies to Help You Survive Your First 100-Miler

Written by Doug Hay

We’ve talked a lot about how to train for your first 50K ultramarathon, but what about jumping from the 50K distance to a 100-miler? Unsurprisingly, there’s a lot to learn when before you reach the triple digits. Or at the very least, a lot to learn in order to make reaching 100 miles a little […]

Our Strategies for Raising Active, Plant-Based Kids

Written by Doug Hay

We all want to raise healthy, active children, but sometimes, that can feel really difficult. How do you know if they’re eating the right foods? Are they spending too much time on the couch?

10 Healthy Habits That Aren’t Fitness and Nutrition

Written by Doug Hay

When most people talk about health, nutrition and fitness are the first things to come to mind. And, understandably, that’s where we spend most of our time. After all, nutrition and fitness are likely to have the biggest impact on living a healthier, longer life. But are there other non-nutrition or fitness habits that could […]
