Exactly a month after they ran ten miles of the New York City Marathon together, Tina and Elyse Kopecky connected to talk about eating to support your running, how “healthy” eating can become unhealthy, dealing with a picky eater, and how to set the tone for your entire day. Elyse is a mom, a trail runner, and with her co-author, elite runner Shalane Flanagan, a three-time New York Timesbestselling author. “I did want to run a marathon at one point in my life, just to experience it.” Elyse was a competitive runner in college, but she suffered from low bone density and stress fractures, amenorrhea, compartment syndrome, and I.B.S.  By the time she graduated, she was burned out on racing and had no desire to get back on a starting line.  “I still had a love for running and got really into trail running,” she says, “but just running casually, like going for five mile runs with friends at a slow pace.”  As time went on though, she wanted to run a marathon. It happened that her 40th birthday coincided with the New York City Marathon's 50th anniversary and her friend Shalane Flanagan completing the six world marathon majors in six weeks, finishing in New York.  Clearly it was the race that she had to do. “I wanted to prove to myself that all the nutrition advice that I was giving everyone else would work for myself.” She was nervous going into training: “If I ended up with a stress fracture while marathon training, I would think I was a fraud, like none of my nutrition was working.”  But it did work; she ran the entire 26.2 miles without ever hitting a wall.  She used to think that she couldn't eat before running because she has a sensitive stomach, but training for the marathon taught her that eating before a run actually helps her. “When I'm marathon training, I'm like a grizzly bear.” Elyse says that people would be surprised if they saw how much she ate when she was marathon training.  It wasn't easy because I.B.S. limits the foods that she can tolerate. She had to cook constantly, which was the hardest part of training.  “The miles are the easy part; that doesn't take up as much time,” she says.   That doesn't mean that she only eats “healthy” foods.  During training, she found that she needed gels and sports drinks, because “sometimes foods that seem less healthy are the ones that are going to fuel me the best.” Everyone has to find what works for them, but the important thing is to take in enough fuel.  Elyse observes, “I used to think that I wasn't a long distance runner because I never felt good past five miles, but now I realize that it was because I wasn't eating enough beforehand to feel good past five miles.” “I think I was meant to have a picky kid so that I could relate more to parents and who knows, maybe this will result in a book down the road.” Some people, like Elyse, can't eat certain things because of health issues.  Others, like her son, just don't like them.  Her daughter will try anything and has “an incredible palate.”  Elyse says that “with her being my first kid, I was like, I don't understand what's wrong with parents, like why they can't figure out how to feed children.” Her son is a different story.  She's figured out what he will eat, and makes sure that he has healthy, balanced meals, even if that means preparing the same dishes over and over.  “They're not vegetables,” she acknowledges, “but I think parents get caught up that it has to be vegetables. There are a lot of nutritious foods that are not vegetables.”  “I think I need to put it out there more on social that I do eat normal.  Like my family does go out for tacos, we do get pizza take-out on Fridays.” There are a lot of Run Fast. Eat Slow fans in Bend, OR, where Elyse lives, and they frequently stop to talk to her at the supermarket.  She jokes with Shalane, “I don't want them looking at my cart because I have tortilla chips in there, and ice cream, and beer.”  She emphasizes though, that it is a joke.   “I want people to know if you think you're eating perfectly, you probably aren't. If you're stressing that much to where your diet is perfect every single day, then maybe you're not enjoying food, and it gets to a point where it's unhealthy to eat overly healthy.” “The more you restrict yourself, the more you're going to want that food.” Because she allows herself to enjoy all foods, Elyse doesn't develop a craving for something because she's been depriving herself of it.  That allows her to easily avoid overindulging over the holidays, which is a pitfall for so many people.  She likes having something sweet every day, but she tries to make sure that it's something healthy, like homemade muffins or cookies made with butter.  “I think that food is meant to be enjoyed and everything should taste delicious,” she says, “even healthy food.” "We believe that how you start your day impacts your whole day." Elyse and Shalane's new book, Rise and Run, is subtitled, Recipes, Rituals, and Runs to Fuel Your Day.  The title reflects their belief that, as Elyse says, “how you start your day impacts your whole day, and that's everything from your mindset in the morning, to getting outside and getting the first rays of sunlight and setting your circadian rhythm by moving outside.  That doesn't mean you have to go for a 10 mile run, but even just a two mile walk in the morning at first light can really impact your entire day in a positive way.” The book is full of advice about training and how to start your day more mindfully, and of course, delicious, nourishing recipes.  As Elyse says, “the biggest part of starting your day right is what you eat in the morning.” Resources: Elyse's website Run Fast.

"There was never a low point for me. Is that weird?!" Two weeks before this year's New York City Marathon, Elyse Kopecky was on the Ali on the Run Show with best friend Shalane Flanagan, talking all about their NYC Marathon plans and dreams, and about the release of their third cookbook, Rise & Run. Now, Elyse is back — and she's officially a marathoner! On this episode, Elyse shares every detail of her debut marathon experience. She talks about the highs and lows of training, about the struggle of being a mom pulled in many directions at all times, and about traveling to New York City alone. She reflects on the excitement of Rise & Run becoming a New York Times best-seller the same week as the marathon, and breaks down her race week. Then, she talks about lining up on the top of the Verrazzano Bridge next to Shalane, and about meeting her at the finish line 3 hours, 32 minutes, and 28 seconds later. Plus, all the excitement of the 26.2 miles in between. SPONSOR: AfterShokz — Visit ontherun.aftershokz.com for 15% off wireless headphones.

1. How a marathon is an analogy for life: the danger of comparison, the ride of emotions and self-doubt, that love is fuel, and that the world needs both runners and cheerers.   2. The question Abby kept asking herself throughout the race—and why she's still wearing her marathon medal while doing the dishes and running errands.  3. Why race day was so profound to Glennon— even though she is strongly committed to NOT running—and how she experienced her first sports injury while cheering.  4. A special visit by the kids' middle school cross-country coach, Coach Loux, who became Abby's marathon coach—and what she said at the 24-mile mark that shifted everything for Abby.   5. A conversation with marathon champion Shalane Flanagan about the bond and joy of running—and how she played a magical part of Abby's marathon day. About Shalane Flanagan:  Dedicated to giving back to the sport she loves, Shalane Flanagan is now an elite coach to the Bowerman Track Club, global spokesperson, and a mom, after retiring as one of America's most decorated distance runners. Flanagan's accolades include four-time Olympian, Olympic silver medalist, 2017 TCS New York City Marathon champion, World Cross Country Bronze medalist, and multiple American record holder. She is the third fastest American marathoner in history, with a time of 2:21.14. Shalane is the fastest American woman to run the Boston Marathon, 2:22.02. Along with her coauthor, Elyse Kopecky, she is the 3-time New York Times bestselling author of Run Fast. Eat Slow. and Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow. and Rise & Run, which became an instant bestseller. Shalane attributes her long career and incredible success to her nutrient-dense diet.

On this episode, Shalane and Elyse are here to talk about their latest cookbook (available now!), Rise & Run.

To help Elyse finish the book, her husband left his job to be a full-time stay-at-home dad. He quickly realized how challenging the role was. Elyse advises working moms to do the most difficult tasks first as our brains are freshest in the morning. Getting the Recipe Right Elyse has an assistant who has been her recipe tester for seven years and all three cookbooks. In addition, she has a team of recipe testers who are beginner cooks. Each recipe in the book gets tested multiple times to ensure that they are easy to follow — even for beginners. Easy-to-Make Healthy Hearty Breakfast Meal Superhero muffins are a staple at Elyse's house. These grab-and-go meals are full of fruits, vegetables, complex carbs, and proteins — perfect for a healthy hearty breakfast, lunch, or snack. You can find 24 variations of superhero muffins in Rise and Run. Getting Kids to Eat Healthily Elyse uses the same recipes that she's sure her kids will eat and are familiar with. Her youngest is picky about food, so Elyse has had to find ways to sneak in healthy ingredients. For example, she makes smoothies with frozen steamed cauliflower, banana, and strawberries. On the Book Tours She recently had a book tour in Chicago where she met great fans even amidst the difficulty of the pandemic. It's still difficult to organize an elaborate book tour because of the COVID restrictions. So, most of their events are going to be virtual. What's In Store for the Rest of the Year Elyse is turning 40 and will be training for her first-ever marathon. She's also looking forward to her book launch in New York this November, alongside celebrating 21 years of friendship with Shalane Flanagan. Her First Marathon Long-distance running isn't Elyse's forte. Health, professional, and familial priorities led to her taking a break from running. She feels great about training for the marathon, as it keeps her accountable. Elyse's Writing Process Elyse writes first thing in the morning when her motivation is at its peak. She makes it a practice to stay away from noise and other distractions such as her phone to increase her focus. She warms up by writing the easier parts first before doing sections that take the most brainpower. Her youngest is still in part-time preschool, so she only has a short window for writing. Having limited time helps her increase her focus and productivity. Food for Creativity A guiding principle of Run Fast, Eat Slow is the benefit of healthy fats for the brain. Athletes often quickly deplete their food fuel, so they need nutrient-dense and heavy meals. Elyse writes best with a healthy hearty breakfast with protein and good fats for brainpower. Little kids especially need a good, high-fat diet for their development. Elyse's Morning Recommendations Caffeine from either coffee or green tea is essential for Elyse. She recommends walking or running in the morning. The sunlight exposure wakes up the body. Even simply standing and getting sunlight can help wake you up and improve focus. The Next Nourish + Escape Retreat Elyse hopes to have the next retreat in close quarters. However, she's not too optimistic about the COVID situation. What Makes Elyse Feel Radically Loved? Elyse didn't know someone could love like her youngest, Rylan. He makes her feel radically loved through his actions and words every day. 5 Powerful Quotes [04:25] “The only way to have good energy the whole day is to eat a nutrient-dense, delicious nourishing breakfast." [09:54] "Your brain is freshest in the morning so stay off social media stay off email and just get the hardest thing done first." [22:50] "I think having a really short window time helps because it forces you to focus. You can't drag it out through the whole day." [24:04] “A big part of the belief behind Run Fast Eat Slow is all of the healthy fats. And that is so important for brainpower. Our brain needs those good healthy fats to function optimally.” [26:53] “Even on days, when I don't have time to run, I'll just get outside and get that sunlight because that helps wake me up so that I can focus better.” About Elyse Elyse Kopecky is an author, nutrition coach, and inspirational speaker, passionate about encouraging others to live and eat healthily. Alongside Olympic medallist and marathon runner Shalane Flanagan, she co-authored two New York Times bestselling cookbooks: Run Fast Eat Slow and Run Fast Cook Fast Eat Slow. Now, Elyse spreads a healthy lifestyle and good food through their upcoming book, Rise and Run, and many other works. Elyse learned to create healthy, hearty meals for herself and her family of four. Her travels across the world introduced her to many amazing recipes to control and improve her health. Now, Elyse is happier and healthier and helps others to be the same.

Elyse Kopecky, Author, Runner, and mom, spent her college cross country and track careers at UNC with Olympic marathoner Shalane Flanagan. This began their friendship and unanticipated journey toward co-authoring cookbooks; so far they’ve published “Run Fast. Eat Slow.” and “Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow,” and their third book “Rise and Run” is set to launch in October 2021. Elyse focuses on a proper diet, after not having a period for several years and having multiple bone injuries due to underfueling. After realizing the connection between diet and running health, Elyse enrolled in the Natural Gourmet Institute; she’s now an opponent of restrictive diets, supporting sustainable nourishment for runners. In this episode, Elyse shares her experience of not getting a natural period until age 30, going on birth control to force a period, getting many stress fractures in her running career and eventually changing her whole food philosophy. Now she’s sharing her knowledge about fueling with the rest of the world with her cookbooks. “Don't stress about the small moments because they'll all add up to big moments.” - Elyse Kopecky

This week I had the pleasure to sit down with a very inspiring serial marathoner Julie Benson. Julie shares with us her incredible story of Overcoming Adversity. When asked how she got into running marathons Julie said- "I hated running most of my life. Then after I had my children I wanted to lose some baby weight so I went out for a walk and it turned into a run that turned into a 5K that turned into a half marathon that turned into a marathon". IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Julie shares with us her experience of that terrible day in 2013 when she was closing in on the finish line of the Boston Marathon when the explosions rang out and everything turned into chaos. Just when Julie though she lived through the hardest part of this experience, her husband a SWAT member of a nearby police department was activated to join in the hunt for the bombers. LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Books Recommended By Julie: Run Fast Eat Slow From world-class marathoner and 4-time Olympian, Shalane Flanagan and chef Elyse Kopecky come whole food, flavor-forward cookbook―and New York Timesbestseller―that proves food can be indulgent and nourishing at the same time. Finally here's a cookbook for runners that shows fat is essential for flavor and performance and that counting calories, obsessing over protein, and restrictive dieting does more harm than good. Packed with more than 100 recipes for every part of your day, mind-blowing nutritional wisdom, and inspiring stories from two fitness-crazed women that became fast friends over 15 years ago, Run Fast Eat Slow has all the bases covered. Julie and I talked quite a bit about the struggle we have with the concept of "What If". When something tragic happens and we survive it, we often play different scenarios in our heads. What if this happened, What if I did that instead. The list of scenarios is endless! I wrote a post a while back that talks about just this topic called "Have Your Ever Met What If" I have to warn you though it is probably not meant for everyone. It is a bit on edge and I use some colorful language. Julie's Homemade Energy Bars! Ingredients: 1 cup (12-15) whole pitted dried dates 1 cup dried fruit (cranberries, apricots, cherries, etc. Choose one, or mix a medley!) 1 cup nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, your choice) Equipment: Food processor Wax paper Sharp knife Preparation: 1. Roast nuts (optional). Nuts can be raw or roasted; roasting will add a toasty, nutty depth to the bars. If desired, roast nuts at 350F for 10-12 min, until fragrant and golden. 2. Combine the nuts, dried fruit, and dates in a food processor. Pulse a few times to break it up. Separate dates if they start to clump together. 3. Process continuously for 30 seconds. By this point, the ingredients should all have broken down into crumb-sized pieces. 4. Process continuously until a ball is formed, 1-2 minutes, or until ingredients clump together. 5. Dump ingredients onto a piece of wax paper. Press the dough with your hands until it forms a thick square, roughly 8"x8" in size. Wrap and chill for about an hour. 6. Unwrap the chilled dough and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into squares. 7. You can store the bars in the fridge for several weeks or in the freezer up to 3 months! ADD-INS! I often add shredded coconut, chia seeds, chocolate chips, cocoa powder (for some caffeine), ground nutmeg or cinnamon or even lemon zest!! You might need extra dates if you put in additional add-ins.

"If that’s my legacy, that’s a good one."   Shalane Flanagan has many titles: former professional runner, four-time Olympian, Olympic silver medalist, Bowerman Track Club coach, 2017 New York City Marathon champion, American record holder, two-time New York Times best-selling author, race broadcaster — and, her newest title, mom. Last month, Shalane and her husband, Steven Edwards, became parents to their son, Jack Dean Edwards, and on this episode, Shalane talks candidly about new motherhood. She talks about what it was like being at the top of her professional game and constantly fielding questions about when she planned to have children, and explains why she and Steven chose to adopt, and what that process looked like for them. She talks about her decision to retire from professional running in 2019, about why coaching was her next dream, and her third cookbook with co-author Elyse Kopecky, and about the pressure women often feel to "do it all."   Thank you to AfterShokz for sponsoring this episode of the Ali on the Run Show! CLICK HERE for 15% off wireless headphones.   What you’ll get on this episode: What’s making Shalane happy right now?

Sarah Conklin is perhaps best known on the internet as the blogger behind “Once Upon a Lime.” She lives in Bend, OR, where she works for Picky Bars, the sports bar company founded by professional athletes Lauren Fleshman, Jesse Thomas, and Stephanie Bruce. Before that, she worked for Oiselle, the women’s athletic wear company, and was an avid marathoner. Now, after taking a bit of a break from the marathon distance, Sarah is back at it, training under Lauren Fleshman’s guidance. On this episode, we talked about everything from what a day in the life of a Picky Bars employee is like (bonus: it sometimes includes starting the day on the ski slopes) to failed Boston Qualifying attempts to getting a divorce in your twenties. Sarah was super open and honest, and offered up some great insights about relationships, growing up, and changing her perspective on running.

Born in the coastal town of Marblehead north of Boston, Massachusetts, Shalane showed an early aptitude for distance running. A three-time All-State cross country athlete, she also finished first in the state in the mile and her 4:46 performance won the National Scholastic Indoor championships. Her two-mile performance still stands as a Massachusetts record. Flash forward to to 2004 when Shalane turned professional and her achievements kept piling up. A two-time national champion in the 5,000m, she won the short course cross country championships in 2004 and 2005. Today, Shalane is one of the most dominant female distance runners on the planet, boasting achievements like: 2008 Bronze Medalist in the Olympic 10,000m Multiple American Record holder 2nd fastest American female marathoner of all time with a 2:21:14 personal best 2012 Olympic Trials marathon winner and 10th overall at the 2012 London Olympics 6th overall at the 2016 Rio Olympics in the marathon But Shalane isn't just a runner. She's now a New York Times best-selling author with her coauthor Elyse Kopecky of Run Fast, Eat Slow: Nourishing Recipes for Athletes. This was one of the easier interviews I've ever done because Shalane is so easy-going and relaxed. I had a blast talking to her about a wide range of subjects: Does Shalane have a Boston accent after a few glasses of wine? Her favorite type of wine Go-to runs in the Boston area What does running 120 miles a week feel like? A snapshot of her strength training program Why she now loves fat - after avoiding it for years Her favorite race What's next for Shalane (this might be surprising)

Sarah and co-host Ellison Weist chew the (healthy) fat with Elyse Kopecky, co-author of the just-released cookbook entitled RUN FAST. EAT SLOW. Nourishing Recipes for Athletes. (Alas, Elyse’s co-author, three-time Olympian Shalane Flanagan, was unable to be on program.) Learn how the seed for the book was first planted at a home-cooked meal at Shalane’s house. Elyse talks about the importance of listening to your body when making food choices, then explains how the underlying premise of all the recipes in the book is “indulgent nourishment.” Hear the definition of “hangry” and how runners can combat this all-consuming sensation. A discussion about the importance of eating healthy fats quickly veers into TMI territory, with Elyse admitting why she didn’t have a natural period until almost her third decade. Finally, delight in the health benefits (health benefits!) of microbrew beers. Cheers! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“In the midst of an ordinary training day, I try to remind myself that I am preparing for the extraordinary.”Shalane FlanaganThere are people that run.There are others who run fast.But few people on Earth run like the remarkable Shalane Flanagan. Over the course of her distinguished 16-year professional career, Shalane has made 4 consecutive Olympic teams, won an Olympic medal and set a variety of American records across a wide array of distances on both the track and the road.To put her excellence in perspective, consider this: in 2010, she finished second at the prestigious New York City marathon — her very first 26.2 ever — clocking the best finish by an American female at that race in 20 years. She's also run the fastest time ever by an American woman at the Boston Marathon and in 2014 set her personal best in Berlin with a blazing 2:21.14, the second-fastest time ever by an American woman.But what’s truly unique about this assassin in compression socks is the extraordinary extent to which Shalane has distinguished herself across a multitude of distances & disciplines. On dirt, she's won collegiate national championships in cross-country. On the track, she's set American records at both the 3000 & 5000 meter distances. And on the road she's broken American records in both 10K & 15K and achieved two Olympic marathon berths, including her recent 6th place showing in Rio.Beyond her extraordinary accomplishments and amidst all her obligations as the world's greatest running polymorph, Shalane finds herself today embarking on a new chapter — as a foster parent to twin teenage girls along with her husband Steve Edwards (a badass runner in his own right). And yet somehow, she still mustered the time to write a cookbook with her lifelong friend Elyse Kopecky – a former college cross-country teammate who left a career in digital marketing at Nike to become a chef, food writer, nutrition educator, and mom after studying culinary arts in New York and abroad.The result of Shalane and Elyse's beautiful collaborative partnership is the newly minted New York Times' bestselling Run Fast Eat Slow*. Part culinary primer and part lifestyle manifesto, it's a beautiful whole foods, flavor-forward cookbook packed with nourishing and delicious recipes, nutritional wisdom and inspiring stories from two accomplished women you can't help but love. Women who believe and prove that you can be healthy and perform at your peak without counting calories, obsessing over protein, or restricting yourself to diets that do more harm than good.As a quick aside to all my fellow passionate vegan friends (I love you), a disclaimer: Run Fast Eat Slow is not a 100% plant-based cookbook. Notwithstanding, the cookbook does contain plenty of great plant-based dishes as well as heaps of wisdom relative to cultivating a more conscious and deliberate relationship with the food we source, prepare and consume — subjects I think we can all get behind, irrespective of specific dietary preferences.In this conversation, Shalane and Elyse impart loads of practical, experience-based advice, including: Shalane’s specific training protocols, race day rituals, fueling strategies (her take on supplements might surprise you), recovery routines, mindset tactics and some of the common mistakes most runners make.More specifically, See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
