We are totally stoked to speak with U.S. Olympic marathoner Shalane Flanagan and her friend Elyse Kopecky about their forthcoming cookbook Run Fast. Eat Slow.

The full interview will not be released until August, around the time Shalane is running the Olympic Marathon in Rio. Bt, here is a video excerpt of us asking Shalane and Elyse about pre-race meals.

Run Fast. Eat Slow.

They also discuss eating fat, calorie counting, the concept of indulgent nutrition, foods that reduce inflammation and reduce stress, the biggest mistakes runners make when it comes to nutrition, Shalane’s training regime for the Olympics and more.
