Show Notes
This episode includes my live podcast discussion with Robbie Balenger (@robbiebalenger) and Jackie Howard (@veganathleteatx) that occurred in front of an audience of 40-50 people at Rogue on August 1st.
Robbie ran across the US from LA to NYC, covering 3,175 miles in 75 days (45 miles per day). He did it for his plant-powered mission which we talk about extensively, but there is much more to the discussion. We cover his challenges on the journey, what he learned, and what might be next now that he has proven he can dream big and then go do it.
If you would like more details on Robbie's journey, here is a Runner's World article from the day after he finished in NYC:
