Runner of the Week Juice

Runner of the Week Juice

This week’s “Runner of the Week” is a close (and dear) friend of mine.  He played a key role in my transformation into distance running.  In fact, without him Forks to Feet wouldn’t even exist!  Juice piqued my interest in vegan nutrition and long-distance running after I saw how easy he made it look.

If you can’t tell from the picture, he loves KALE and all plant-based foods.  He has found that a vegan diet propels his running to distances and speeds that he could have never achieved from the Standard American Diet (SAD). You can read more about Juice and how he opened my eyes to plant-based running in my eBook.
