'Walang Namamatay Ngayon' ay isang koleksyon ng mga artikulo na isinulat ng may-akda mula Mayo 2020 hanggang Abril 2021 upang magsilbing manual sa kalusugan na ginawa ng isang mananakbo sa panahon ng pandemya ng Covid-19. Ito ay isang simpleng pasasalamat mula sa kanya para sa lahat ng sumuporta at nag-udyokan upang lumikha ng mas mabuting mundo sa panahon ng pandemya. Lahat ng mga artikulo ay may kinalaman sa kalusugan at pagtakbo.Sa malalim na paniniwala ng may-akda, isang posible dahilan kung bakit siya nakaligtas sa pandemya ay ang kanyang pagkahilig sa pagtakbo mula pa noong 2008 bilang isang 48-taong gulang.Nangailangan ng tiyagang bumangon ng maaga ang may-akda upang tumakbo mag-isa sa mga liblib na kalsada, bubong, mga tarisahan, mga parking lot, at loob ng kanyang tahanan noong lockdown. Sinulat ng may-akda ang mga artikulo na may tatlong pangunahing aspeto sa isip. Una, upang talakayin ang mga siyentipikong bahagi ng pagtakbo, tulad ng posisyon sa pagtakbo, kadalasan ng hakbang, mekanika ng paghinga, saklaw ng lactate, at maximum oxygen uptake. Pangalawa, tinatalakay ang nutrisyon sa ilalim ng mga maling paniniwala tungkol sa carbohydrates, kahalagahan ng bitamina at mineral, vegan diet, at pagkain para sa mas magandang performance. Pangatlo, bilang isang mananakbo na higit sa 60 taon gulang, pinanigurado niyang isama ang mga paksang may kinalaman sa ehersisyo at haba ng buhay, kahalagahan ng pagtulog, at para sa mga may gulang na mananakbo.Tinangka rin niyang magbigay ng sariling interpretasyon ng pandemya noong 2020 at 2021 na may kaugnayan sa pagtakbo. Kasama rin ang isang praktikal na paraan sa pagpili ng sapatos sa pagtakbo, pag-unawa sa diabetes, at isang maingay na talakayan tungkol sa blood doping.
