Vegan Competitor Powers to World Kettlebell Record

Vegan kettlebell competitor Nicholas Thick has set a new world record by completing a Super Marathon lasting two hours. At 52 years old, the British athlete lifted a 20kg bell for 1,404 reps, surpassing his target of 1,200. Nicholas, who went vegan eight and a half years ago, credits his plant-based diet for providing him with the energy and recovery needed to excel in his athletic pursuits. He believes that you can thrive as an athlete on a vegan diet and highlights the ethical reasons behind his choice to avoid animal products.

Great Vegan Athletes is a not-for-profit organization that aims to challenge stereotypes about veganism and promote plant-based diets among athletes. Since 2010, they have featured hundreds of elite vegan athletes across various sports on their website and social media platforms. Nicholas' success in the kettlebell competition is just one example of how athletes can achieve their goals while following a vegan lifestyle.
