You needn't look any further than the story of local Glendale resident Mike Fremont to convince yourself that a plant based diet is superior for athletic performance. He changed his diet to cure colorectal cancer in 1990 and stuck with it to this day. He was originally following a Macrobiotic diet till 2010 when he gave up the once a week fish that Macrobiotic allows. That's when he started setting world records begining at age 88 in the Flying Pig Marathon here in Cincinnati. He currently holds 6 world records in marathon or half marathon. In 2020 he is 98 and still running half marathons!

Another amazing plant based athlete in our area is Harvey Lewis.
Multiple winner of the Badlands 100 and member of the USA 24hr race team.
