An informative and interesting read regardless of whether you are an elite athlete or just want to improve physical endurance and overall wellbeing. Holding four Guinness world records in marathon and ultra-running and being vegan for almost five decades, this book has really refreshed my attitude towards nutrition and brought many new perspectives and ideas to my plant-based lifestyle. I have taken on board many of its recommendations and suggestions for my own training and nutritional needs. A definite 'must read' for anyone interested, curious or already invested in plant based living and thriving! -- Fiona Oakes, four-time world-record-holding marathon runner This well-written, well-researched book makes it absolutely clear that a plant-based is best for your health, your body, and your mind. Highly recommended! -- Gene Stone, co-author of How Not to Die, author of 72 Reasons to be Vegan
