The Simply Vegan podcast is your weekly dose of plant-based food, news and topical chat with Vegan Food & Living's Holly Johnson and Molly Pickering.

In part 1 of today's episode, we address the news that 1 in 3 vegan products contain traces of egg or dairy, why there's currently no legislation to prevent this and how we feel about unwillingly eating animal products.

And then in part 2, we're joined by duathlon gold medalist and Vegan Runner Lisa Gawthorne, who attributes 20 years of veganism to her success. We discuss Lisa's addictive personality and dedicated mindset, how she finds time to train despite running a large vegan food business and how she avoids burn out and overwhelm.

The athlete shares with us what she eats in a day (hint: it's A LOT!) along with tips on carb loading before training and protein for recovery. Lisa is also a proud member of Vegan Runners, the UK's fastest growing running club, and hopes to achieve some PBs whilst repping the club this year to celebrate her 20th veganiversary.
