Mike Arnstein is the king of raw vegan running. He is known simply as The Fruitarian and his impact on the running and vegan communities is phenomenal.
This lecture that he gave at The Woodstock Fruit Festival is a great introduction to new runners and those new to eating a fruit-based diet.
Run an Ultra Marathon
Stay under 10% body fat
Eat fruit, all the time
Fewer injuries and fewer illnesses with a fruitarian diet
Ultra running is a lifestyle, not a distance
The four stages of running are physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual (in that order)
Sleep (recovery), not rest is critical. “I can run 50 miles every day if I can get 10 hours of sleep a night.”
