Title: Nutrient Dense and Delicious Recipes
Review: I got this book after a friend recommended it. First of all, it is written by a chef and an Olympian who are friends. Shalane Flanagan eats these foods! It's cool to see their friendship - the human side of Shalane.What I love about it is that each recipe includes a description of the food and why it is beneficial for runners. For example, Teff Pumpkin Pancakes with Currants are great for postcard nourishment, Curry Lentil Soup with Charred Cauliflower is great for rejuvenation after a winter run, and Ginger-Mosasses Quick Bread is perfect for an iron-pumping bite. Beautiful photographs throughout! So far, I've only tried a couple of recipes, but have found that they were easy to make and delicious. They purposely left out the calorie count and macronutrient amounts to focus more on eating healthy nutrient dense foods. For long distance runners, I think this is great! No need to get bogged down with those numbers with THESE foods.In the back of the book, there are a list of common problems/ailments runners may encounter, such as dehydration or digestive distress. After each issue, there are a list of the recipes from the book to try to help with that condition.I even recommended this to some non-runner friends of mine! Check out their list of pantry staples, too - with a paragraph stating WHY for each one. I'm feeling better about the sardines in my pantry (hee hee), now I know what's good about them! Did you know that since they are lowest on the food chain they are one of the cleanest foods you can eat? Plus they are one of the richest sources of B12 and B6 (great for fighting fatigue), inflammation-fighting omega-3s, calcium, and mood-boosting vitamin D. Even Elyse's toddler loves these! Now don't you want to know what else is in their pantry?

Title: Run fast and eat amazing food!
Review: This cook book was featured in Runners World magazine. I liked a few of the recipes I saw and decided to make them before purchasing the whole cook book. I made the spaghetti with bison meatballs and was SOLD! But then I thought, well maybe they only featured the *best* recipe. I tried the others that Runners World featured and they were all a-mazing! I decided to buy the cook book but was fully prepared to have my hopes dashed of finding a book full of great recipes.Let's be real, we've all bought that cook book that has a few great recipes and that's it. I have plenty of them in my cabinet. Sure they've got a few great recipes but I largely ignore most of the book because they're total crap. Not with Run Fast, Eat Slow. I've tried several recipes from all of the sections and they have all been a hit! In fact, I made the mashed yams with sage brown butter for Thanksgiving and people were going nuts for it! There's a few things I like about this book.1. It tastes amazing AND it's healthy. I love eating healthy but my husband is much more difficult to convince. These recipes pack in some awesome food that's great for you and tastes great. I have yet to make a bad meal from this book.2. It isn't difficult. Don't you hate when you buy a cookbook that wants you to do some professional level stuff and you're like "uuuhhhh what?" Yeah, not this book. It's all very straight forward and easy to make.3. Each recipe has a "story." Shalane and Elyse explain the purpose behind each recipe. It helps you understand why certain things were added, what makes the recipe great, and the purpose of the recipe. It helps you decide between recipes (because they're all sooooo good) when you're like "man I really need some energy." Boom, drink this amazing green tea green apple smoothie! Awesome awesome stuff.I've bought several of these cook books and have gifted them to people because it's THAT amazing. I've never been this excited about a cook book or cooking. While I've always loved to cook, this cook book has made eating so much better. Go on ahead and order yourself a copy. You won't regret it.

Title: Really good cookbook with a lot of tasty running/training friendly recipes - a guys perspective.
Review: So I use the Nike run club running application on my phone, and on one of the guided runs, Coach Bennett talks with Shalane Flanagan and her friend and former teammate Elyse Kopecky (Shalane is part of the Bowerman track club) about fueling runs and training nutrition. I was curious, and after my children opined that they might like some different meal choices I purchased the electronic version of this cookbook. I have tried 3 of the selections so far (and there are lots of selections), and they have all ended up being very, very good. The High Altitude meatballs spaghetti was the first recipe my then 16 year old son had ever followed, and with a little help, it turned out great. I have since tried two others the Oregon Berry Crumble, and the Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken, and both have turned out really well. These recipes are easy to follow, and if you have the ingredients on hand, can be made pretty quickly. Each time we made something, I have had to visit the store to ensure we had the proper ingredients - that was the time consuming part of the preparation. If I had planned a little better, and purchased the ingredients earlier on a normal grocery visit, far less time would have been necessary in preparing these dishes. Yes, I am a guy, and I can cook, and cook pretty well. I used to cook a few times a week, and on special occasions before my wife and I had our kids. I just have not done much cooking (other than weekend breakfasts and grilling) since my kids were toddlers (they are teenagers now). This cookbook helps, and being electronic, I can look ingredients up in the store if I decide to make something different. I like that.

Review: This book is an excellent source for delicious and nutritious recipes. The only thing missing are measurements in Metric. As a European, cups/oz/etc. are not common and measuring things in grams is much easier with a food scale. I'm putting notes in the book as I work through the recipes to not have to rely on a converter each time I wish to prepare something.Great work, Elyse and Shalane! Please promise to include metric measurements in your next book 🙂
