That's right. I'm a runner. A Vegan runner. We're a pretty small demographic, and from what I've discovered we're mostly powered by green smoothies.
(This is not true: there are some great blogging (Vegan) runners you should follow - Oh she glows is a particularly brilliant source of healthy, high protein Vegan recipes)
"In regards to competing and training I noticed my recovery times had shortened, that I was less injury prone, and had a higher level of energy" - Scott Jurek, Vegan ultra-marathoner
On Sunday 28th October I'm running my second half-marathon - Run To The Beat - in Greenwich. I'm hoping to shave 15 minutes off my PB (Personal Best, not Peanut Butter, but I know where you're coming from). I just discovered that there are plenty of hills in Greenwich (cf the picture above) so, just to be safe, I'm hoping to shave
And I'm powered by tofu.
Keep tuned in for training updates and amazing protein-packed Vegan recipes!
