Chef Guy is the founder, owner, and creative force behind NYC's vegan sushi spot, Beyond Sushi. Beyond Sushi is also one of my personal favorites, so I was crazy excited to have him on the podcast to unpack his life story and pick his brain. 

We talk about his upbringing in Israel, his experience running his father's catering business, how he built Beyond Sushi, what it's like to be a chef, and more.

I ran my second Airbnb Brooklyn Half last weekend. With 27,000 runners, it's the biggest half marathon in the United States!

I somehow managed to pull off a new PR AND negative splits. I recap it all (what I ate, how I felt at each section, what I did after), in this episode.

Welcome to another SOLO-SODE! I talk through the steps of how to increase your mileage safely, whether you're a beginner or seasoned runner. I also give some tips on other ways to prevent injury.

• http://strengthrunning.com/2010/06/how-to-increase-mileage/

NEW RUNNERS: 

• Run 3 times a week, 1-3 miles each run
• Only increase mileage (either add a day of running or tack on a mile or two to one of the runs) once you're completely comfortable with the mileage

REGULAR RUNNERS

• Once at baseline (mileage you are completely comfortable with), follow 10% rule until you reach peak mileage (or "danger zone")
• Only increase 5-10% once in that "danger" zone
• Include a cut-back week (should have 10-20% less mileage than previous high-mileage week) so your body can rest and recover 

RUNNERS WHO JUMP BACK IN AFTER A BREAK:

• No need to start from scratch. You can work up to baseline mileage without following 10% rule-- increase 15-20% each week since you're not completely new. 

My running shoes:

• For shorter runs/speed workouts: Saucony Kinvara 7
• For longer runs: Brooks Ghost 8

She's a Queens native, NYU student, and magician; she can find vegan food at the most unlikely locations. 

We chat about growing up in Queens, her Singaporean background, finding vegetarianism as a prepubescent girl, her cooking failures, and more.
