WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO PERFORMANCE/ENERGY FOOD AND WHY?

Honey Stinger Waffles and Clif Bloks. They’re packable and seem to work with my digestive system during long days of running (4 to 12 hours).

BIGGEST CHALLENGE TO GETTING GOOD NUTRITION? ANY EASY SOLUTIONS?

Not hating a food product after I’ve eaten it 50-plus times. No real solution besides switching flavors and eventually switching foods.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST EATING HABIT? YOUR WORST?

Finishing a long run (25-plus miles) and immediately eating a bunch of inflammatory foods (pizza, ice cream). Is that best or worst?

HAS YOUR APPROACH TO FOOD, IN RELATION TO PERFORMANCE, CHANGED OVER TIME?

I stopped eating meat in 2005 and have greatly reduced my intake of eggs and dairy over the past two years, as well as worked on decreasing the amount of inflammatory foods I eat. Except pizza and ice cream.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD INDULGENCE AT THE END OF THE DAY?

Deep-dish pizza, diner breakfasts, ice cream (dairy and nondairy), many Indian dishes.

LIGHTNING ROUND: DOGS OR CATS? VAN, SUV, OR TRUCK? DOWN OR FLEECE?

Golden retrievers, station wagons, down.
