Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World's Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself

Finding Ultra

Finding Ultra is an incredible but true account of achieving one of the most awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations ever On the night before he was to turn forty, Rich Roll experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly fifty pounds overweight and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he could see where his current sedentary life was taking him—and he woke up. Plunging into a new routine that prioritized a plant-based lifestyle and daily training, Rich morphed—in a matter of mere months—from out of shape, mid-life couch potato to endurance machine. Finding Ultra recounts Rich’s remarkable journey to the starting line of the elite Ultraman competition, which pits the world’s fittest humans in a 320-mile ordeal of swimming, biking, and running. And following that test, Rich conquered an even greater one: the EPIC5—five Ironman-distance triathlons, each on a different Hawaiian island, all completed in less than a week. In the years since Finding Ultra was published, Rich has become one of the world’s most recognized advocates of plant-based living. In this newly revised and updated edition, he shares the practices, tools, and techniques he uses for optimal performance, longevity, and wellness, including diet and nutrition protocols. Rich reflects on the steps he took to shift his mindset and leverage deep reservoirs of untapped potential to achieve success beyond his wildest imagination, urging each of us to embark on our own journey of self-discovery.

The Plantpower Way: Italia

Záznam o jednom z nejúžasnějších a nejvíce inspirujících příběhů osobní proměny v průběhu krize středního věku. V říjnu 2006, den před svými čtyřicátými narozeninami si Rich Roll uvědomil, jaká budoucnost ho s největší pravděpodobností čeká. S více jak 20 kg nadváhy nebyl schopen vyjít schody bez přestávky. Bylo mu jasné, že sedavý způsob života si ho zcela podmanil. Většina z nás by na něco takového přestala okamžitě myslet. Rich naopak začal zcela jinak jíst, přešel především na rostlinnou stravu, a zbavil se přebytečného tuku. Současně začal pravidelně sportovat a v průběhu několika měsíců se z typického člověka středního věku stala vytrvalostní mašina. Po dvou letech se již pohyboval mezi nejlepšími triatlonisty a nakonec zvítězil v proslulém závodě EPIC5 (pět závodů Ironman v jednom týdnu na Havaji). V každém případě jde o výjimečný portrét člověka, který díky své pevné vůli dosáhl až ke hvězdám. Pomáhá posunout hranice našich možností a určitě čtenáře správně "nakopne".
