Robbie Balenger Ran Across America on Plants | Rich Roll Podcast

Thanks for watching! Read all about Robbie Balenger here 👉🏼bit.ly/richroll480
This past year, Robbie ran 3,200 miles from LA to NY covering 40+ miles a day, every day for 75 days to promote the benefits of a plant-based diet.
I promised him a seat at the podcast when he finished. Today I honor that promise. It’s a great story, well told.
Enjoy!

    I am trying to get past the 40 miles a day for 75 days. What in the hell are the limits for human beings. This is the most motivating video I have ever watched in my life. I am a 79 year old vegan runner. I just finished running an hour a day for 45 days straight. Thanks to this video, I took one day off and will be back at it today. Thanks for the motivation.

    You both are so inspiring! At 35 years old, I'm starting to run more than I ever have, and am really enjoying the challenge to get better and better. I've been vegan a year and love when "WE" show skeptics that a compassionate way of eating can also be super healthy and more than adequate for all, even athletes! Thank you for such great content, Rich! Robbie, I resonate with a lot in your journey, and thank you for having a public conversation! Keep the momentum, both of you! We appreciate it!

    Just mind blowing. You should be Knighted or something 😃. I know plant-based is not vegan necessarily, it’s just so far away from what we are conditioned to believe about having to eat meat if you’re an elite athlete.

    Great session! So many of Robbie’s points and motivations resonated with me. When I went vegan 5.5 years ago it was an ethical decision, but environmentalism what a very close second. Health benefits were something that everyone seemed to talk about and that I thought would be cool, but weren’t a motivation.

    These talks remind me of the book "The Dip" by Seth Godin, he talks about the goals we want to achieve in life but sometimes don't see that there's more time investment to make.

    I wish more people understood that plant based and vegan are not synonymous terms. Most “vegan” food is just as unhealthy as the SAD diet. Whereas whole plant based foods are actually the best for longevity and health.
