Now, I like to go for the occasional jog but these two plant-powered beauty's ran a marathon a day for a whole year, then managed one more on New Years Day!
That's a record breaking 366 consecutive days, from 4am to 4pm, and almost 10,000 miles. Best of all, they were fuelled by raw plant foods.
At the ripe ages of 64 and 68, Janette and Alan ate nothing but raw fruits and vegetables to power their way around Australia. They started their days with a 10 banana, grapefruit and date smoothie (sounds like a recipe idea!), and then ate even more bananas, green smoothies and fruit salads. No animal protein for recovery or cod liver oil to keep their joints loose, just raw fruits and vegetables. Radical stuff hey!
I first heard of these two crazy cats when watching one of durianriders youtube videos (see below). Harley (durianrider) joined Janette and Alan to complete a marathon in late November.
Inspirational stuff. Now where's my Nike's?
