I hope you packed your bags, because we're headed to summer camp! No Meat Athlete's Summer Running Camp, that is. Today's episode is the first of a new series we'll share throughout the summer on the fundamentals of running. First up, building and establishing a consistent running routine.

I know this might not be a popular thing to say, but ever since going vegan I've lost all inspiration and excitement for cooking. Celebrity TV chef Jason Wrobel doesn't have that problem. In today's episode we discuss how to stay motivated and inspired in the kitchen, and what we need to know about eating for longevity.

We're run, we lift weights, we do yoga, but what if instead of putting all those movements into boxes, we instead looked at moving better as a whole? In today's episode we chat with Aaron Alexander, host of the Align Podcast and expert in movement, about how we can better integrate movement into our daily lives.

Doug just completed his 3rd 100-mile ultramarathon, and this time more things went right than wrong. In today's episode Matt and Doug discuss the changes he made going in to this race, and how they contributed to a successful ultramarathon.

Jasmin Singer, co-host of the Our Hen House podcast and author of Always Too Much and Never Enough, shares her story through food addition and weight loss. A vegan activist for years, Jasmin remained addicted to food and overweight until the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead sparked a change. A change that would eventually lead to losing 100 pounds. In today's episode we sit down with Jasmin to share her transformation and why she feels so betrayed by the food industry.

That is the question ... that we're discussing today. Today's topic came from a listener who asked if it's better to have race goals or run simply for the joy of running. As you might expect, Doug and I have different viewpoints on this one.

It's rare that I call anything life-changing, especially when it requires me to clean out my closets. But today's episode is all about a new habit we have both adopted that truly does have the power to be life changing. Dare I call it magical?
