Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow.

October 1, 2018

Olympian and 2017 New York City Marathon winner Flanagan along with chef and nutrition coach Kopecky team up once again (after Run Fast. Eat Slow) to share nutritious and quick recipes for runners on and off the track. Encouraging athletes to have a healthy relationship with food by focusing on nourishing meals using whole foods as opposed to counting calories and embarking on fad diets, they've developed recipes that are "fast and approachable without compromising flavor or nutrition," including delicious types of pizza and burgers. Readers will find options for boosting energy for long runs as well as sustaining lunchtime salads and meals for reviving sore muscles. The superhero muffins are back by popular demand with three new variations. In addition, most dishes can be adapted to satisfy different needs (gluten free, nut free, dairy free, etc.). Sprinkled throughout are Flanagan's expert tips for strength training, good sleep practices, as well as recovery stretches. VERDICT Flanagan and Kopecky have successfully created another appetizing cookbook with wholesome foods and accessible recipes. Busy athletes will devour this.--Melissa Keegan, Ela Area P.L., Lake Zurich, IL
