Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

I have been vegan for over ten years. My background is in cycling. I just finished my 2nd triathlon season and my third mountain running season. I have two sons age 1 and 6 that keep me very busy. I organize a triathlon training group in central MA and I do a lot of CrossFit Endurance type workouts.

Nice work!

I'm digging all the fruit. That is my favorite thing to eat. I used to be a runner as well, 5k and 10k were ones I enjoyed a lot, as well as the 800m, 1500m and 3000m. I probably even liked those shorter distances a bit more, 5k was as far as I really wanted to run

So you're doing triathlon and mountain running these days?

What is mountain running like? It's new to me. I know of trail runner and forest races on trails but not familiar with mountain running.

Thanks for being here on the forum!

All the very best and catch up soon.
