Vegan Runner Breaks 25-Year-Old National Record

Vegan runner Izzi Batt-Doyle recently broke the 25-year-old Australian Half Marathon record at the Marugame Half Marathon with a time of 1:07:17. She believed in herself, ran a disciplined race, and came in 30 seconds under the record time, showcasing her talent in longer and shorter distances. Izzi, who has been vegan since 2014, has also achieved success in marathon running and broken South Australian records for shorter distances. While initially facing criticism for her vegan lifestyle in the running community, Izzi has found that being vegan has been beneficial for her running, health, and overall well-being.
