While the book talks a lot about veganism, it is not just a diet for vegans. Jurek encourages athletes of all ages to consider changing their diets and adding a little extra in the gym for health and fitness. Many athletes are already vegans and have chosen to adopt a vegan diet to help them become more active and lose weight while getting stronger. Eating a vegan diet while running will increase your endurance, strengthen your muscles, and allow you to train at a higher intensity than ever before.
There are many reasons to adopt a vegan diet while running. One is that it's healthy. Jurek knows that most of the world does not consume enough protein and is becoming more endangered as the population continues to grow. Being a vegan would give you more energy to perform your best and push yourself further. Not to mention, your vegan diet would make you feel better about yourself and increase your overall level of wellness.
Runners often run because they love the sport and want to improve their performance. They know that being in good shape is good for them physically and also enables them to compete against other runners better than those in the animal industry or other traditionally grown foods. It is also a way for them to get outside and embrace being part of the growing sport. However, some runners have given up the typical ways of life and choose to run strictly due to the desire to live a completely organic lifestyle and be free from the chemicals that are used in meat production. Being able to focus solely on their running allows them to set goals and complete ultra distances with only the food they bring home from the grocery store.
