Most people think that a 26.2-mile marathon distance run is the longest. Actually, ultrarunning is famous for its distance as far as 50 kilometres, 50 miles and 100 kilometres. 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. As a vegetarian and ultrarunning player, I definitely know this is wrong. In fact, what makes me a better athlete is just vegetarian diet.

I had been tried many kinds of exercise plans to add distance so as to participate in Marathon race since I joined in cross-country race during my college time, but I failed every time. In 1996, there was a favorable turn that my uncle, an ex-navy and also a vegetarian for almost 30years, enlightened me become a vegetarian. And six months later, I finished my first Marathon race.

Usually I'm just a general vegetarian, but when the training is so intense, I am a strict vegetarian. Complex carbohydrates exit in fruits, vegetables, grain, spaghetti and many other foods, and these foods are what vegetarians absorb in abundance. Fat is a good source of energy, however, if together with protein (i.e. mixed in meat), the average Americans' intake of fat is much more than the basic needs. Vegetarian can help you control the fat intake, but not excessive.

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. However, I don't advocate it as 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.

Your health, physical strength,energy will be strengthened if you are a vegetarian or vegan. Besides, I believe that insisting on a vegetarian lifestyle needs physical and mental accomplishment which is very similar to that in long-distance training.

It is wise to conduct a physical examination before adopting any new health plan. You can try a combination of walking and running methods depending on your background of different health and exercise. Despite that it takes extra time, it can do good to the effect of training gradually and prevent injuries. With the growing popularity of running, runners are often surrounded by products boasted of quick effect and exotic function. Vegetarianism is very beneficial to a good attitude and diet which can make you run the farthest.

Many people think that being a vegetarian or a professional athlete needs a lot of time and energy, but I find the opposite is true.
I am an ordinary person, but I believe that my vegetarian lifestyle of extreme sports can make common people accomplish extraordinary things. In the condition that you keep good food habits and right lifestyle, I think you certainly will be a better athletic and enjoy happy performance.
