When you're a kid, a lot of food looks questionable, but my parents always told me I had to try everything put in front of me. Since then, I've eaten everything in sight, and as an endurance athlete I’m served well by my omnivorous ways. So if I'm coming over for dinner, cook anything—just keep your fingers away from my mouth while I'm eating.

When pairing beers with food, try to choose a beer that either complements or offsets the food’s flavors.
Whether you’re training for a marathon or you just exercise to stay fit, it’s important to remember that the human body, like any engine, needs fuel to maintain performance. But not all food is created equally.
