Professional Runner Ashley Erba on Mindful Ultrarunning and Veganism
Today we have another plant-based professional ultrarunner named Ashley Erba, originally from California and current resident of Boulder, Colorado. What’s interesting about Ashley is the fact that she has been vegan since a very young age, and vegetarian since birth. She’s now 20 years old and absolutely killing it in the ultra scene, claiming the top spot on the podium in many events including the Flagstaff Sky Race, El Vaquero Loco 50k, and the Moab Red Hot 55k. She started running from a young age on the track and cross country, but struggled with injury and iron deficiency in high school. She is now focused primarily on Sky Racing, a type of ultra event that is characterized by running up huge mountains. Ashley is also a passionate vegan activist, volunteering most of her free time at the local farm animal sanctuary and rescuing animals. She is energetic, determined, and engaging to say the least. We had a blast sitting down with her and talking:
* Ashley’s background in running and veganism
* Her struggles with injury and hyperfocus on running
* Her eventual path to ultrarunning
* The upcoming race schedule
* The recent shift in Ashley’s mindset for getting more active in the vegan community
Hope you enjoy the episode!
Thanks for the support across social media and the podcast, we are deeply grateful. Now: go eat some plants, and what’s your thought for food?
