The Plant-Powered Runner

By David Waters

A lot has changed for me over the years since I started running. I love helping, motivating and inspiring others to be the best they can. My goal with the podcast is to get you Motivated and to fall in love with RUNNING. As we all aspire to remain healthy and fit, running, in my opinion, is one of the best ways to maintain a high level of fitness. Through this podcast, you will learn about running, the Maffatone Method (AKA HR training), and experience running in a new light.

5 Benefits of Running 2 Hrs - The 2 Hour Principle

5 Benefits of Running 2 Hrs - The 2 Hour Principle

There are five physiological adaptations that happen as a result of 2 hour-long runs. 

One is that your circulatory system, particularly the fine capillaries, develops to circulate blood to exercising muscles and the second adaptation is that you teach your body to more readily metabolize fat and burn fat at your aerobic base. Three, lung efficiency is greatly improved to bring more oxygen to your mussels. Time on your feet helps your body adapt to the distance and get stronger.

Sick and Fat - How I Juiced and Ran My Way Back To Health (2013)

Sick and Fat - How I Juiced and Ran My Way Back To Health (2013)

Sick and Fat - How I Juiced and Ran My Way Back To Health

This is my story, my documentary of how I did it in one year. In 2013 I started on my road back to health by eating (gluten, Dairy and Soy Free), juicing and walking. As the months went by I found that I had more energy and felt amazing. So I decided I would start running because my walking was taking a long time. Yes, I was up to 15Km twice a week and needed to free up some time. So I thought a couch to 5k race would do it!!! This was such a personal victory for me. Going from 266lbs to 204lbs by going Gluten, Dairy and Soy Free (Yes I'm a vegan now and things have changed even more) Now that the 5km is done I'm going to sign up for a 10km and then work my way up to the marathon. At first, I was intimidated by the thought of running a marathon but with the proper training I know I can do it. Thank you for following my journey and for supporting me while I trained for this. In today's video, I talk about the running goal and the results.

Why don’t YOU change - AND Have The Life YOU want.

Why don’t YOU change - AND Have The Life YOU want.

Welcome to the plant-powered Runner Podcast. Why do t we change is always a question I encounter when I talk with people. Today I hope will inspire you to make the changes to your life you want to see.

It's a bit different from my other videos on running.  I was inspired by a few others when I was trying to figure out why it's so hard to change my mindset.   

You're about to hear probably the number one reason why most people never change.  And It's the number one reason why most people never move from the life they hate to the life they want.  

Why Don't You Change - Best Motivational Video 2020 Speakers: Jiddu Krishnamurti, Robin Williams, Waking Life, George Carlin, Randy Pausch, Jeremy Rifkin, John Ortberg, Sylvester Stallone  Music from  - Wayne Dyer song 'Arvo Part - Spiegel Im Spiegel'  John Ortberg Talks About Life as compared to a game of monopoly - plays come players go but it all goes back in the box, so what really matters?
