In this episode we travel to Bend, Oregon to hear how Elyse Kopecky turned her passion for eating well and cooking into a NYC marathon win for her dear friend, Shalane Flanagan. Now, Elyse and Shalane have written two cookbooks, inspiring other runners and non-runners to cook more, using real, whole foods. They have a meal planner/inspirational journal due out in December as well as a top-secret fourth book due sometime soon! You can check out her work at https://runfasteatslow.com/
