As a non-vegan I am interested in how he fuels his body to be able to compete at this level.
I love your curiosity! You can start here: https://www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition/nutrition-for-athletes or this: https://runningonrealfood.com/nutrition-tips-for-vegan-athletes/
Thank you. I am in the process of revising my diet and whilst probably won’t be going full vegan or even vegetarian, I do want to significantly cut down on meat and eat better.
Give full vegan a try, it’s not as hard as you imagine.
Good for you! You’re welcome to share your progress here or directly to me!
I’m gonna guess he eats plants
Like, all of them?
This is great. I’ve started training for a half-marathon, that will be in October. I’ve been vegan a few years, and before that a vegetarian for a few decades (I’m 58 now). One thing I’ve also done recently is eliminate salt from my cooking and also eliminate high salt prepared foods (including bread and prepared sauces) from my diet. And I’ve stepped up my intake of leafy greens and carrots and beets and whatnot (previously my focus was on starch and protein foods (rice/grains/beans/lentils etc). So, my blood pressure is now normal. But, there is a lot of propaganda about needing salt (and “electrolytes”) for long distance running. Meh. I’ve been fine so far. But I figure I’ll bring some celery sticks with me for the run in October.
We’re quite truly designed to run. We can run for our whole lives, into our 90s.
