In the eyes of most people, marathon race, as long as 26.2 miles, is the longest among all kinds of long-distance races. In fact, ultratunning, whose distance up to 50 km, 50 miles and 100km, is very known. In this athletics, 100-mile is the longest distance. Some people think vegetarians could never become real athletes to take part in sports as cruel as long-distance race. On the stand of a vegetarian and ultrarunning player, I know this is not true. In fact, what makes me a better athlete is just vegetarian diet.
Since the college life to participate in cross-country running, I have tried a variety of training programs to increase the distance to be able to participate in the marathon, but every time I have failed. In 1996, things have a turning point that my uncle, a former Navy and nearly three decades of vegetarian, inspired me to become a vegetarian. Six months later I completed my first marathon.
Ordinarily, I am a common vegetarian, but I would become a strict vegetarian during my intense exercise time. Complex carbohydrates could be found in fruits, vegetables, cereals, pasta and many other foods, and these foods are high intake of vegetarians. Fat is good source of energy, but when together with protein (mixed in meat), common Americans take in fat far more than basic needs. And vegetarian diet could help you control the amount of fat that you absorb in balance.
In ultrarunning race or extended training, the training time is usually 3 to 12 hours, in order to replenish my energy quickly, I sometimes eat energy bars. But I don't think it is good to be part of our daily food. we should make sure the energy bars are really vegetarian, no matter the fact that most energy bars are vegetarian. What I strongly you is that using energy bars in training before race. At the same time, keeping the body hydrated is most important.
You can improve your health, physical strength, energy from being a vegetarian or vegan. In addition, I believe that physical and mental accomplishment needed in adhering to a vegetarian lifestyle is very similar to what is needed in long-distance training.
Conducting a physical examination before any new health plan is advisable. You can try a combination of walking and running methods depending on your background of different health and exercise. Although it takes extra time, it can improve the effect of training step by step and prevent injuries. As running is becoming more and more popular, there are often products boasted of quick effect and singular function surrounding runners. Vegetarianism is very beneficial to a good attitude and diet which can make you run the farthest.
I find that being a vegetarian or a professional athlete does not need much time or energy, which is opposite to many people's thought.
I am an ordinary person, but I believe that my vegetarian lifestyle of extreme sports can make common people accomplish extraordinary things. If only you will keep the good diet, I believe you will enjoy better exercise performance and better life. If you are interested to be a vegetarian and increase the exercising performance, Nike Free Australia is my advise for you. It is deemed as a professional shop online offer running shoes and brand shoes, be popular in Australia.
