There aren't many vegan athletes in the world yet, but it is really incredible when you find out that an athlete exists like Rich Roll.
He didn't exercise for 20 years. At the age of 40 he felt out of shape so he changed his diet to a vegan diet and started exercising.
The plant-based diets that are best for the planet are also best for human health and athletic performance.
- At 42 he completed a double ironman triathlon which consists of a 6.2 mile swim, 260 miles of cycling, and a 54 mile marathon.
- He finished in the top 10 after not being involved in competition for 20 years.
- Men’s Fitness Magazine voted Rich Roll one of the 25 fittest men of the world in 2009.
