The Runner’s Diet

07/15/09

I recently read an article in the August 2009 issue of Runner’s World touting the benefits of a “flexitarian” diet for runners. I like this term because it allows for variation and adjustment in the diet based on the body’s needs at any given time. Anyone — not only athletes — can benefit from eating this way.

According to the article, “flexitarian” means that the diet is based in plant foods like fruit, vegetables, legumes and grains and small amounts of animal protein. This approach is similar to a Macrobiotic diet. The benefits of such a diet include a decreased risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer and a lower BMI (Body Mass Index).

As I read on, I realized that I’ve adopted this diet but instinctually. A vegetarian for 17 years and a runner for ten, when I started competing in triathlons I physically felt that I needed more protein to support my increased activity so I added in fish a few days per week. It’s a testament to the body’s ability to get what it needs.

Three Summers ago my family and I came to Chicago Three Summers ago my family and I came to Chicago and there wasn't so much as a matcha cafe in sight. Now, so much matcha, so little time. Swipe through for my thoughts in each caption. πŸ’šπŸ’‹πŸ΅

The cafe itself had the cutest decor. The matcha had no flavor and all I could taste was the almond milk. 

Refreshing and not too sweet. The blueberry lemonade was the overarching flavor followed by the more bitter matcha. Perfect balance. 

Just a strawberry matcha. Nothing special and not the best I've had. 

This was an authentic Japanese spot with a premium matcha experience. They hand whisk it in front of you  and explain how they make it. I picked up a few tips. The matcha was authentic and rich. Only oat and whole milk options. 

Hand whisking and explaining the process in detail. 

Not a huge fan on oat milk in matcha because I think it overpowers the flavor. Overall, this was the most authentic like you'd get in Japan. 

Tbh, this was a basic coffee shop matcha but I loved the coffee shop itself. I made the mistake of agreeing that the syrup which was a sweetener. I don't like sweetened matcha so that knocked a star off. 

The most underwhelming of all. Drinkable but basic. Not bad, but I had too many other really good ones to measure against. 

This place has it all. The vibe, tbe energy, the neighborhood, the creative drinks, the community and a nice staff. 

This was the most delicious matcha I would give this place 1000 stars if I could. 

The place was bustling but they kept it moving and the staff was friendly despite the crowds and heavy drink orders. 

An authentic matcha experience with a modern edge. Seriously the best matcha and experience I've had at a matcha cafe.
