Much of the curiosity focused on one key part of Rich's reinvention: food. What does this 44-year-old Ultraman eat? Where and how does he get his protein? Rich and his wife, Julie Piatt, are sharing the meals that have nourished and energized their family in their vegan e-cookbook, Jai Seed.

Duathlon: more than triathlon's poor relation Duathlon is sometimes derided as triathlon's poor cousin. But if, like me, you're addicted to running and love cycling, but can't get over your fear of that frenzied first swim leg, then the run-bike-run could be the challenge for you. Scared by tales of competitors grabbing ankles, ripping off goggles or overtaking by swimming right over the top of fellow athletes, I spent 12 months having lessons, got hold of a wetsuit, entered a half-Ironman … and bottled it. In the battle for public attention, duathlon has clearly lost to tri. Its world champions – the Belgian Rob Woestenborghs and Ai Ueda from Japan – are unknowns compared with Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, or recently retired Ironman athlete Chrissie Wellington. Dermott Hayes, from multisports coaching and training company RG Active, said: "Ten years ago duathlon was on a par with triathlon in terms of interest.

At the grocery store, you're faced with an aisle of juice options: concentrate, not from concentrate, fresh squeezed and juice cocktails. As you try to decide if it's worth paying more money for not-from-concentrate, you might wonder what the nutritional differences are between these many juice formulations.

With Raw Intentions My name is Lauren, I’m 22 years young and will always and forever be an enthusiast of all things clean and healthy. I’v been a nutritious eater and a workout devotee for as long as I can remember. My passion for food preparation and food photography soared when I made the choice to live a 100% raw vegan lifestyle. Beyond the physical benefits of glowing, clear skin, weight loss, strong nails, and shiny hair, this lifestyle has provided me with incredible energy, has made me a genuinely happy person, and has and continues to teach me to appreciate all aspects of life. There is nothing I enjoy more than concocting raw food recipes, in fact, I’d call it an obsession. Sometimes I dream about recipes, sometimes I gather inspiration from fellow rawsters, but often I find that my finest creations surface when I just throw some random mixture of ingredients into a blender or a food processor and push power.
