The NMA Community Page is No Longer Available. Last month, No Meat Athlete quietly turned five years old. I’d have loved to have planned a big hoopla giveaway extravaganza, but alas, I’ve been working on something better. In five years, we’ve done some pretty neat things, not the least of which are putting some 20,000 […]
Note from Matt: Last year when I chose the course for my first 100-miler, one of the criteria I looked for was “fair.” I didn’t want the easiest, flattest course around, but at the same time, it is 100 miles, so why make it tougher than it needs to be? Next month, Doug Hay will be […]
You know what you’re supposed to eat. You don’t need another blog post telling you this food is good and that one is bad … those rules seem to change every day anyway. (Hint: “Eat whole foods” is one that’s a constant.) It’s not that you don’t want to eat healthy. You even understand that, […]
Happy Marathon Monday! Wishing the best to everyone running and cheering today — and congrats to Jason, Joe, and of course, Meb. (And to Greg, whose wife’s Twitter post made my day.) On a day that makes you proud to be a runner, to be part of a community who understands you, I’m excited to share […]
One hundred miles. In under 13 hours. That’s seven minutes and 46 seconds per mile, for 100 of them. My mind is blown every time I think about that. What makes it all the more incredible — or, in Mike Arnstein’s eyes, what made it possible — is that he reached this elite level of […]
A few months ago, Rich Roll wrote a great post called “Why You Should Stop Lifehacking and Invest in the Journey.” As I read the post, I found myself nodding along, as expected. When I look at the biggest accomplishments of my life so far, it’s clear that shortcuts had little to do with them. […]
Last week I went on my first long run in months. Long, here, is generous. It was six miles, a shortened version of a mostly flat (for Asheville) route I ran dozens of times when I was training for my hundred last summer. Twice I stopped to walk. It was hot, but that’s not much […]
This weekend that I was to become a runner again started off with me feeling like a fraud. Thursday afternoon, I arrived in Boston. Two hours later, Jason Fitzgerald and I walked into West End Johnnie’s restaurant, where we were to meet the rest of the invited bloggers and some of the Runner’s World staff, […]
Runner or non-runner, whichever you call yourself, I’ve been there. And I think I’ve finally figured out that whole label thing. When running is fun — when, even when it’s hard, it comes easy — that’s when you feel like a runner. But most of the time, for most of us, it doesn’t flow like […]
Okay, so by domination I mean making a tiny, tiny dent in the universe (for now, that is … muhahaha). But let me have my fun. Last Friday, the German version of No Meat Athlete was published. My extensive knowledge of German tells me the title should surely be Nein Meat Athlete, but alas, that […]
