Eat, run... and be a vegan?

I am currently in the middle of reading the book "Eat and Run" by Scott Jurek the great ultramarathon runner.  It is an interesting read.  The book has a strong focus on nutrition that Scott seems to believe is the key to his ultramarathon success.  He started off as a redneck, McDonalds eating kid from what sounds like a reasonably deprived part of Minnesota and transformed himself into a vegan super athlete.


He includes some vegan recipes in the book some of which actually sound pretty tasty like the 8-grain strawberry pancakes (look out for a future post on these).   So far the book has certainly made a good case for the vegan diet and I still have a third of it to read but I don't think I am quite ready to give up cheesecake.


Get the book here.
