Yesterday, I talked to Rich Roll<\/a>, the well-known vegan Ultraman competitor (that’s a double Ironman over the course of 3 days) who is also the author of Jai Seed<\/a>, a fantastic cookbook I reviewed<\/a> a few months ago.<\/p>\n

Rich was very generous to sit down and record a 40-minute interview with me, aimed at helping out the first-time marathoner and\/or new vegetarian.<\/p>\n

The full interview, along with five others with some pretty amazing vegan and vegetarian endurance athletes including Brendan Brazier, will is included as part of the Marathon Roadmap<\/em><\/a>: The Vegetarian Guide to Conquering Your First 26.2<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s a sample of our interview, where Rich talks about his first marathon, which sounds a lot like mine (i.e., lots of walking after Mile 18!).\u00a0 He also talks a bit about the importance of following a program or working with a coach, and at length about training in the crucial zone that teaches your body to burn fat instead of sugar and go (in Rich’s case) for days.<\/p>\n
