Hi Joe! That's awesome that you're now a vegan athlete. My goal is to be an athlete someday and I'm working on it. :)
I'm a runner too and it's great to see more and more athletes embracing veganism!
I'm a runner too and becoming vegan has only helped my running. I run about 30-50 miles a week depending on the time of year. A vegan diet can be ideal for runners. Everything you need to fuel your workouts s available from a plant based diet.

He is an ultra-marathoner who is vegan and he wrote a book about it! Alicia mentions him in her book too.
I'm reading Scott Jurek's 'Eat & Run' right now! So far it's an amazing, inspiring book!
