"We don't need to farm animals, you know, to live, to be strong and to be top performing athletes. We can do all of that on a plant based diet. We can feel good about it and we can minimize that environmental impact and the suffering that happens. And it really just starts with you."

In Episode #3, Aimee and Emily talk about their journeys into veganism and why they made the shift. They dive into what it is like to be a plant-based athlete & eating for maximal performance gains. In addition to athletic performance, they discuss the ethical reasons for choosing a plant based diet and how that affected their decisions to choose vegan everyday.

“​​A year and a half ago I didn't think that I could do an hour loop on that mountain & on race day a lot of my times were sub-50 minute loops. For me that was a lot of confidence & showcasing that if you put some hard work in and work on that technical terrain you can see some big improvements.” 

In this episode, Aimee and Emily introduce themselves to the listeners. We talk about some of our favorite local trails to run and how we both started our running journeys. We dive into our recent race efforts, Fastest Known Time efforts & what’s ahead for 2024.

“I think that’s what inspired me to do this. How can we not be fighting for the ground we’re running on… We’re here to put the power in your hands… and feet! Make some moves towards a sustainable future.”

In this episode, Aimee dives into how The Running Kind came to be, what the community has grown to become and what she hopes it will grow into. We talk about how The Running Kind developed into a family run operation, how we achieve carbon neutrality and announce the 2024 race schedule.

“One of the things I love most about The Running Kind is that it serves as a space where people can hopefully feel comfortable asking questions and learn more about veganism & sustainability in the running space.”
