Hey Matt! I'm a huge fan of your blog and often go to your site for recipes and advice. I'm not vegan, but I try to maintain a plant based diet. Anyway, I'm training for a 50 miler right now and I'm trying to avoid using gels (even Vega). Do you have any recommendations (or recipes) about alternative fuels to use during long runs? Right now I'm just using dates which have actually been working out pretty well for me. Also, can we expect any more books from you in the future? Thanks again for doing this AMA!

That's great! I'll definitely check it out when it comes to SF. So glad it's coming to the west coast.

Thanks! I'll definitely try Heed, Gatorade and Powerade do awful things to my stomach on long runs and I don't like to take in caffeine once I've started running.

A cookbook would be great, especially one aimed at ultrarunners. I just ordered Racing Weight, but a lot of those recipes are based around animal protein sources so I'd love to have a complete cookbook that considers plant based protein.
