Vegan runner obliterates his own backyard ultra record

Vegan ultra-runner Harvey Lewis has broken his own record by running a remarkable 375 miles over four days in a backyard ultra event. The race is a last-person standing ultramarathon where competitors run laps until they cannot continue, requiring immense mental fortitude and physical stamina. Lewis, who has been vegetarian for 25 years and vegan for 5, attributes his success in ultramarathons to his plant-based diet.

Despite completing the grueling 375-mile race, Lewis went on to compete in the Badwater 135 race just 12 days later, securing a third-place finish. His vegan diet, which includes a variety of high-calorie foods like avocado toast, veggie rolls, and vegan mac and cheese, likely played a role in his superhuman endurance. Lewis' impressive athletic achievements showcase the benefits of a vegan lifestyle for elite athletes.
