#443: Vegetarianism + Veganism for Runners

Sarah and Amanda tuck in for a conversation with Natalie Rizzo, MS, RD, a sports dietitian, marathon runner, and author of The 100 Best Foods for Vegetarian and Vegan Runners. Rizzo serves up:
-myth-busters about eating a plant-based diet;
-suggestions on how to gradually phase out meat from your meals (if that’s of interest to you);
-loads of animal-free protein options;
-meat-free pre-race and pre-long-run dinner recommendations that are easy on the GI tract; and,
-family meal work-arounds when carnivores and vegetarians gather round the table.
In the introduction, Sarah and Amanda talk about workout work-arounds in the latest round of lockdowns. Natalie the RD joins the show at 9:36.

Every Friday on the original show (launched in 2011), host Sarah Bowen Shea, a mom of three and veteran of 14 marathons, is joined by a rotating cast of co-hosts and often a guest expert to discuss topics ranging from how to reach a big race goal to finding your athletic happy place, and everything in between. Training, nutrition, motivation, mental toughness, TMI issues: This show covers it all (and then some!). 

Many Happy Miles and AMR Answers drop on alternate Tuesdays: Many Happy Miles is hosted by AMR co-founder Dimity McDowell and Sarah Wassner Flynn, and it celebrates and explores all types of forward movement, whether an epic hike, century ride, or your first brisk walk after a setback. The co-founding duo of Sarah and Dimity host AMR Answers, providing insightful responses to listeners’ called-in questions. All three shows are witty and conversational, making them great running partners because the AMR gals do all the talking—even on the uphills!
