Thanks Jennie,
You are so correct with your observation that so many people will always want to defend their view just to feel safe. Even though the information being presented has obvious truth to it.
As you say that’s life.
Good luck with your training

I love that you stand for what you believe it. It is not always easy to live a life outside the norm. And what you say is so true. A lot of people in the box will question you with defense in their tones, or make a mokery of you just so they feel safe in their boxes. That’s life.

I love your blog. Thank you for taking the time to write all of this.

Bummer mate hope it is not to bad a sprain, yeh…! I do believe you get a lot more feedback in that respect .

Not sure of the Vibram toe thing but as you get more used to running without shoes your toes tend to splay a little more and I find now i find most shoes uncomfortable as they tend to push my toes together

Thanks, Russ – interesting. I went over on my ankle last night, wearng normal running trainers. If I had had a thin or no sole, I bet I would have been more careful to see the pothole and the twist would not have been as severe if I had trodden in the hole.
The Vibrams look scary weird though. Why do they have individual toes?
Next episode keenly awaited.

I have a similar situation where, as I am an absent father to a 11 and 13 year old who will rebel against anything other then spaghetti and meat, fish and chips and ice cream and lollies.

So I have no magic wand answer, as well as I would have reservations about forcing a change.

I have found I get a response from introducing a favorite fruit before any eating time watermelon, grapes and banana work well for my offspring.

At least I achieve a good fruit intake, by having no quick grab stuff in the house fruit is their only option.

I see a lot of debate regarding the raw vegan diet for a child and I am not qualified to make any recommendations. For me I attempt to educate the children by explaining the better options, my daughter is challenged when I refer to her meal as being full of dead animal.

You might get some tips from http://www.rawfreedomcommunity.info/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=256

Apart from developing your own understanding of the benefits of a raw food lifestyle and the health, social and humane aspects,that you can share, the best option for children may be to exercise portion control, remove bad choices from the household, develop a consciousness of eating choices in them so that the fast food, high fat eating culture does not claim them as a statistic for the shocking numbers of obesity we are seeing.

Well said Russell. Difficult to know how to get started though. Where would I get recipes and information to enable me to cater for a family which also has a gluten free and diabetic diet to consider.
How would you recommend inhtroducing a raw food diet to under fives whose favourite foods are roast, veges and gravy, lasagne, pasta, oats porridge, icecream and chocolate. The only raw food they like are carrots and nuts.

Yes mate we tend to get herded into certain belief’s and to conform to what is considered “normal” sometimes ya gota remind people of their own sovereignty in their decision making. Hope you are keeping that running going see you in OZ for the Gold Coast 1/2 ?

Keep ‘em coming Russ. It’s great to get motivational pieces like this, as the temptation to conform with the ‘normal’ diet is around all the time, but a reminder like this helps a person to think before choosing what to eat.

You are right on the money Jennie, a plant based diet is fuel enough to be an endurance athlete, there are many not mentioned here, Hmmm…!!!! I feel a list of successful plant fueled athletes coming to a blog near you

you can absolutely be a raw vegan athlete. I have a friend who used to run 20km’s a day in less than 1.5 hours just for fun because she had so much energy. She cycles amazing amounts now. Doug Graham is a controversial author/athlete and while he doesn’t look healthy to me he sure looks fit. Then there’s Grant Campbell who has been a raw vegan for a few years now and runs Ultras, Harley Johnson who defies logic to many but gets good results on his bike. Once you scratch the surface… it’s all there. xx
