Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow. If you’re looking for gifts for marathon runners who like to cook, this is it. Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow. is full of the recipes Shalane Flanagan ate while training for the 2017 TCS New York City Marathon – which she won.

This journal includes space for more than just distance and speed; your favorite runner can record how they felt, what they thought, what they ate. There are also quizzes and quotes to inspire them to chase their next PR.
