Average. That’s how Tom Giammalvo describes his health and lifestyle prior to 2010. Not atrocious, not disgusting, not embarrassing. Not any of the extreme, negative descriptors we’ve come to expect with stories of transformation. Just average. And that’s why his is the perfect one to share. As far as his health was concerned, Tom wasn’t […]
“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure.” – Thomas Watson, IBM I just came across this quote in a blog post by Eric at Roc the Run. The post is about Eric’s dedication to qualify for the Boston Marathon, no matter how badly […]
This program is no longer available. For more information about the training program we have available, please visit this LINK. Over the past two years, I’ve written plenty on No Meat Athlete about the changes I made to get fast enough to qualify for Boston. I’ve talked about how I stopped getting injured, how I […]
One of the hallmarks of No Meat Athlete over the years has been our “no-pressure” approach to plant-based diets. Instead of trying to persuade people that they should go vegetarian (and now, dammit!), I’d much rather just set an example that people can choose to follow or learn from if they’d like. I’ve just never […]
Just as with food, I like to keep things simple when it comes to running. Sure, complicated and specific workouts have their place in serious training, but that’s probably 5 percent of the total effort. The other 95 percent comes down to basics — simple practices that are easy to understand and apply, but that […]
Okay, this post is way delayed … but I suppose that’s what moving will do to you. I’m moving to Asheville, NC in 10 days with my wife and son, and this has been Crazy Packing Week. But the POD loaded with all our stuff gets picked up tomorrow, so things should return to normal […]
Note: This is a guest post by Greg Strosaker from Predawn Runner. If you’ve got the flexibility to run any time of day you want, with no other commitments to worry about, you can safely stop reading. Still here? I thought so. As much as we’d all love to be able to run whenever we […]
I’m writing this post from my brand new chair at my brand new desk. In my new office in my new home, in Asheville, NC. It all feels a bit weird, but in an exciting kind of way, just as this entire move has felt. When we told our friends and family that we were […]
Today, as you probably know, is Boston Marathon day. One year ago, I ran it. It was amazing. Two years ago, I was eligible to run, but I didn’t because my son was born just two days before the race. And just two and a half years ago, I qualified. Qualifying for Boston had been […]
A lot of the emails that I get from readers begin this way: Hi Matt! Love your site. First I should tell you that I’m not a vegetarian… I can’t figure out why people need to get this off their chest right away … in the future, you can skip it! I actually think many, […]
