  1. OrganicAthlete cuz they promote a plant-based diet through sports, both very important things in my life. Thanks to OA I've had some great times in different parts of the world. Great I got to meet so many nice people sharing the same ideals.
  2. Guess I'm cool then I really like both books, though I haven't finished the thrive diet yet. I'll do so this week. I wrote something for the magazine of my athletics club about Thrive, I'm pretty curious what reactions I'll get, cuz all the others are meat eaters...
  3. This week I started running again after a surgery. Within two weeks or so I can start doing some power training again. I run 100m & 200m and therefore do some power training. I prefer being outside, so a gym isn't my favourite spot. I used to go about once a week (Monday 8.15 - 9.15 pm) to the local gym and there I got a programme with the following exercises: Warming up Exercises (all 3x 10 reps): - hyperextension + sit-up (alternately) - squat - chest-press - incline leg-press - seated rowing - calf raises - upright rowing - roman chair Cooling-down At home I have some dumbells etc, so I can do certain exercises (squat, upright rowing, ...) What exercises can I do at home? What do you think about the programme I use? Should I go more than once a week to athe gym? Thanks for your advice!
  4. Thanks for the welcome messages!!! @ runner: I speak Dutch, I live in Flanders. My nickname refers to Gianluca Zambrotta, an Italian soccer player, one of the few players I follow. I used to love soccer, nowadays I don't like it any more. @ Veganpotter: The main problem about training is that I don't have much time left for extra training sessions in the gym, due to my work. When I go to the gym there's always plenty of people so I have to wait to do the exercices. Anyway, I'll try to find a solution for this problem. My times... Hmmm, there not great at all (yet). Due to work and a medical problem (large intestine causing fatigue due to iron deficit) I haven't done many good trainings for several months. My summer season's finished, next Wednesday I'll have a surgery, so afterwards that medical problem should be solved.

    hello

    Hi, My name's Jürgen, I live in Belgium and I've been a vegetarian for the last 6,5 years. I've decided to go vegan. I'm a sprinter (100m & 200m). I started running quite late, but I'm making good progress in spite of some the problems I encountered. For instance: I spend 3 hours a day on a train to go to work and back, they don't offer proper meals at work, ... I've got one goal in athletics: to do everything that's in my reach and then see where I'll end up. The sky is the limit. I know I can make a lot of progress if the conditions are better than they are know, therefore I'm about to quit my job and become a freelance translator so I don't need to be in an uncomfortable position anymore on a train. I also want to improve my diet, cuz it's not optimal yet. I train 5 to 6 times a week, 1 or 2 power training sessions (one in a gym, one at home). I sometimes write articles for a vegetarian magazine and for the magazine of my athletics club.
