Run Fast, Eat Slow: Elyse Kopecky On How Real Food And Cooking Can Transform Your Running

She built a real-food revolution. Now, she’s taking it global.

Elyse Kopecky is back: writing, running, and leading a movement bigger than ever.

She is the three-time New York Times bestselling co-author with Shalane Flanagan of Run Fast. Eat Slow., Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow., and Rise & Run. 

She is also a chef, speaker, and nutrition coach who studied at the Natural Gourmet Institute (a health-supportive culinary school).

Elyse is a former UNC distance runner, turned lifelong runner and trail retreat leader. She created the Run Fast. Eat Slow. brand which includes cookbooks, online classes, and women’s trail running & culinary retreats.

She previously landed a dream job in Nike Running marketing, while her college teammate Shalane Flanagan turned pro with Nike. From the outside, it was the perfect running-adjacent career.

Elyse is here not just to reflect on a decade of bestselling books; she’s charting a powerful new path for runners everywhere. From her expanded role as a coach and educator to her trail retreats in Bend, Chamonix, and Zermatt, she’s proving that performance and joy can grow with time, not fade.
