I always wonder what other runners eat. Why? Well, because I’m usually hungry.

 

Runners need lots of calories…and extra carbs…and more protein…so I like to ask other runners about their diets.

 

Aaron Davis’ running journey is similar to mine. I feel like we are kind of in the same “place” when it comes to why we run, our experience level, and what we hope to accomplish…so that’s why I was interested to hear about his diet. Aaron eats a completely plant-based diet. I wanted to know why he chose that diet and the effect it has had on his health and running.

 

Full disclosure here: Aaron is not a nutritionist. He’s not a doctor. Neither am I. We are just two runners talking about running and food and what works for each of us. Anytime you want to make drastic changes to your diet, then you should get a professional involved. And maybe I’ll have a nutritionist on the show one day, but for this episode, I just wanted to talk to someone who loves to run and ask him why he—and perhaps so many other athletes—are turning to vegan diets.

 

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Aaron. Also, stay tuned to the end of this episode because I have some exciting information about the upcoming Mission Tejas Trail Race that I don’t want you to miss.
