Not like this vegan challenge isn't enough, Andrew and I are training for a half marathon that will take place on April 14 in Chesapeake, Virginia. My sister, Hayley, who is a sophomore at UNC Chapel Hill, along with some of her friends, convinced me to do this half marathon with them, and then I was able to convince Andrew. I honestly can't say how being vegan will affect our training, but I'm guessing it isn't going to be a piece of cake (haha). I can't directly say how energy levels are affected by not consuming meat since I haven't eaten any in awhile, but both Hayley and Andrew have noticed significant energy losses after not consuming meat even for a few days. So, being vegan might be a tad more noticeable.
I can't speak for Andrew, but I am prepared for the suffering that may (will most likely) occur during these runs. Along with documenting our struggles and achievements as being vegan for these forty days, Andrew and I are also going to note how avoiding all animal products will affect our ability to train for this half marathon and exercise in general.
Wish us Luck,
Maggie
