It’s been two months since our running groups started, and still this project brings me more joy than anything else we’ve done at No Meat Athlete. Though I had planned on starting small with the running groups — say, 5 or 6 of them across the U.S., in big, vegetarian-friendly cities — I realized pretty […]
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about personal development, but our most recent podcast episode about daily rituals reminded me that I left out a critical part. That part? Simplicity. While the rest of the post was really about growing and becoming more, simplicity for me is about making room for this growth, […]
December is upon us, and while for most of us that means holidays and parties and more stress than is healthy, it’s also one of my favorite times of the year for thinking about change. Why? Because you don’t want to be another victim of the New Year’s syndrome, where on December 31 you realize […]
A few years ago I wrote post a while back about the power of tracking (anything!). Simple awareness of your behavior, even without a deliberate attempt to change, is often all you need in order to improve. Mind-blowing, really, and super-inspiring, especially at this time of year. Today’s post from Doug Hay (whom you probably know […]
Happy New Year! You might have noticed that at No Meat Athlete we pretty much ignore most holidays, but New Year’s? Always worth a few posts and a podcast episode or two. I’m fond of calling it my favorite holiday. Partly because nobody calls New Year’s their favorite holiday, but mostly because I really do […]
This post is the introduction to a series of six posts (one per week) that I’m doing in partnership with Whole Foods and Garmin to start the year. As compensation, I received Whole Foods gift cards and a Garmin vÃvofit, both of which I’m using to create the content for this series. (I’ve also got a […]
As I wrote in my last post, good eating habits aren’t about willpower. Willpower runs out. Instead, if you want your healthy lifestyle to last, the secret is to remove the friction. Friction? The time required to plan, shop for, and prepare your meals. The cost. Or simply that you just don’t like the way […]
We hear a lot of “achievable goals” talk these days. And that talk, I think, is mostly harmful: it creates and encourages a culture of middling, moderation-loving wafflers afraid to lay it all on the line for something that’s worth it. You’ve heard the quote, I’m sure: Dream no small dreams, for they have no […]
First, let me just come out and say it. I wanted really badly to make a sense/cents pun in the title of this post. But I resisted, for your sake. Because sense/cents jokes just might be the worst kind of joke in the world, and nobody should ever write or say them. Next — and […]
I’m different from a lot of other runners, because running, for its own sake, doesn’t do it for me. And I’ve been criticized for this, for trying to make the best of something that will always feel hard — instead of spending my time doing things that I naturally love, without having to work at […]
