JL Fields’ non-fiction essay, A Well-Rounded Vegan, was released in May 2014 in, Running, Eating, Thinking: A Vegan Anthology
(Chapter 8) by Lantern Books (ISBN: 978-1-59056-348-9).
In recent years,
endurance athletes, bodybuilders, and long-distance runners such as Ruth
Heidrich, Scott Jurek, Rich Roll, Brendan Brazier, Robert Cheeke, and many
others have destroyed the notion that you cannot be a top-flight competitor on
a plant-based diet and upended the stereotype that veganism means weakness,
placidity, and passivity. But are there deeper connections between veganism and
running, for example, that reach beyond attaining peak performance to other
aspects of being vegan: such as living lightly on the land, caring for
other-than-human life, and connecting to our animal bodies? Running, Eating,
Thinking is a pioneering anthology that may redefine your thinking about
veganism and running.
