Rise and Run

A cookbook and training manual dedicated to the most important part of the day--the morning--from the New York Times bestselling authors of Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow.

For athletes, breakfast is always the main topic of conversation when out on a morning run. Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky believe (and science confirms) that what you eat at the start of the day impacts everything: your mood, your work output, your cravings, your sleep, and even your long-term health. In Rise and Run, they turn their focus to the most important meal of the day, with 100 recipes for nutrient-rich, indulgent breakfasts and packable snacks for athletes on-the-go, including morning staples like Goddess Grain-Free Granola, Breakfast Power Bowls, and new savory and sweet variations of the fan-favorite Superhero Muffins. Every recipe includes make-ahead tips for busy athletes and families, and they are crafted with the ideal balance of protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats for athletes of all levels.

Along with the recipes, Shalane and Elyse share their top wellness routines to set their day up for success: morning rituals, intention-setting tools, predawn running tips and tricks, marathon-training advice for every level, and more. They also include tips to craft a better routine to help improve your health, happiness, and success.

This book will teach athletes how to spend more time chasing the sunrise--without sacrificing the most important meal of the day.
