The latest issue of Vegetarian Journal features an article by Ben Sarsgard titled, Stay the Course – Running the Vegan Power 50K. Ben states, “A 50K is the shortest of the common distances referred to as ultra-marathons, which means anything farther than the marathon distance of 26.2 miles. They keep going from there: 50 milers, 100, 200, but 50 kilometers (31 miles) is more than enough for many. If you’ve run a 5K, imagine following it up with 9 more, carrying your own water, over mountains and hills. You leap roots and rocks every few inches, sometimes successfully, but usually eating dirt once or twice as your legs get heavy and your toes can’t quite clear the hurdles. As a runner passes you with a splatter of mud up one side of their shirt, you know they wear it as a badge of pride.”
