<p>I do agree that there is a lot of good food around, basically, anything natural is good, whereas, in my opinion, heavily processed food is not so good for you. Francis always talks about his Kenyan "Ugaili", I'm curious to taste it!</p>

Even when he is working in Kenya, he says he is in bed by 8pm, gets up at 6 to run, and works from 9! Sleep is definitely a factor with regard to injury, recovery, and even body fat. I strongly believe that a lack of sleep can lead to over-weight, if you sleep after a work-out, your body will partly replenish its carbo from body-fat, ultimately leading to a lower bmi! Sleep off the kilos!</p> Very interesting Juergen.

<p>Very interesting Juergen.</p>
<p>I would be interested in hearing more on what you eat.</p>
<p>Certainly a lighter body weight often equals a faster race time....but I am not sure if any particular food is that much better than any other (excluding the junk foods of course).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Being injury free is something I only dream about!</p>

Oat-NIgiri are made from locally available brown/wild rice, muesli, oats, peanuts, bananas, peanut butter and raisins. Just boil the rice, mash everything, and add oats until the dough becomes dry enough not to be sticky. Eat them raw, or toast them. If raw, better keep them in the fridge, if very long-term, freeze them and toast them before eating! Enjoy!</p>

I can attest to the use of wheat. Juergen kindly gave me a batch and I also put it in the pan with oil and sea salt. It is a great addition to any meal- especially a nice curry or even by itself!

And yes, I made it to <b>Kanoya</b> the other day, there is one in Ueno, Jay and I ran in Ueno Park and then went for a healthy, and very cheap meal! It was just about 500/600 Yen per head! One of the signs says: "No preservatives".<br />

Chemical (MSG, flavour enhancer, amino-acid) free soba stand ... kano-ya<br />
<br />
This chain soba noodle stand (with seats, though) is kano-ya (かのや). They do not seem to have a website but you often see them in town (not at stations, I think). There is one in Shinjuku W near the Yodobashi Camera, below<br />

The quality of the soba and the source for this price is simply impossible (mori soba is only 290 yen)....yes, no MSG.<br />
<br />
Make sure you choose soba, not udon. Why?....udon is made from refined starch (just like pasta and white sugar), which is not only<br />
deplete in minerals but also consume minerals during digestion, depleting the body of minerals. Soba on the other hand contains more minerals (except the cheap ones that are mostly refined starch).

Healthy fast-food in Ikebukuro!<br />
If you are in a hurry, but want some healthy carbo in Ikebukuro, go to the Geijitsu Gekijo (theatre) right in front of the West exit and look out for Gonta, the Onigiri shop! You get two whole-rice onigiri, one side-dish, and free refills on Miso-soup for 525Yen. Who can beat this?<br />
