I really don’t enjoy things unless I’m researching them as I go. So I made myself a syllabus for this 31-day Raw Foods push.
Some of these books I’ve been wanting to read for awhile – especially the Michael Pollan best-sellers. I’m also a newbie marathoner (2 finishes in the 5.5 hr range), so many items have to do with the intersection of veganism & endurance running. I’d love to start to make the transition from being a “recreational” distance runner to more of a competitive one. I’m mystified by these plant-based endurance athletes.
