Danny Dreyer: ChiRunning, How to Train for Ultramarathons, And How to Run Without Your Legs
24/10/2013 Duration: 53minThis is a pretty special episode for me this week. Today's guest is Danny Dreyer, and his book "ChiRunning" is really the first book that made me question my relationship with running, and then snowballed into rethinking the way I ate as well. I don't usually encourage or recommend many of the books that come my way, but this is one that I seriously love and think a lot of people could benefit from reading. It's been a great week here, and after some exciting conversations, the one thing I want to ask of you this week is FEEDBACK!

Rich Roll: Vegans vs. Paleo, Alcoholism & Food Addiction, and the Real Food Ultraman
11/10/2013 Duration: 50minAfter loads of requests from you loyal listeners, we are pleased to present Mr. Rich Roll! Rich is one of Men's Fitness Magazine's "Top 25 Fittest Men," a fellow top podcaster, plant-fueled endurance athlete, and the author of the best-selling "Finding Ultra." We speak about beating out Jillian Michaels for #1 in Health on iTunes, and I'm pleased to say we got her this week. Interestingly, I have FAR more in common with Rich's point of view as it relates to nutrition and health (despite the fact that he's vegan) than Jillian. You really can be happy and healthy at the same time, and tip of the hat to Rich for walking the walk. Another huge thank you to those who have continued to donate to the show.

With the amazing growth we've seen over the past year and a half for the show (we just passed 2 million listens!!!), we're barraged by companies desperate to advertise their wares on the show. But for the reasons I describe on this page, we always say no. If you like wh
