My name is Nate and I haven't always been a runner...

 

I'm not going to bore you with details but, in 2012 I started running. My health had deteriorated and it was either start becoming active and change my eating habits or get on this medication and then the five million more that will need to follow that one to counter-act the previous one ad infinitum.

​

I did not want to go that route so I started running and shortly afterward I became vegan. After becoming vegan not only could I run farther but my recovery time was amazing. It would normally take days for me to recoup and it was rare to run a back to back. Not when I left animals off my plate.

​

I found a vegan running team, Strong Hearts Vegan Power, and started running  Ragnar races with them and other events. The support they have given me, and other teammates, is immense! I've already had teammates reach out with interest in the endeavor and some plan to pace me along the way.
