To Celebrate The Victories, It Had to Get Dark at Some Point - Robbie Balenger
Team, today we have Robbie Balenger, one of the elite plant-based athletes in the space, on the show today. Robbie started running at 29, so well into his life, and decided to see how far he could go with it. Robbie is a plant-based, ultra-endurance athlete who has completed the Trans-con which involved a 3,175-mile transcontinental run starting in Huntington Beach, CA, and ending in Central Park, NYC. This involved 14 states and an average of 43 miles a day for 75 days. He also completed the insane Colorado Crush which incorporates the Leadville Trail Marathon, The Leadville Silver Rush 50-miler, and the Leadville Trail 100-miler. Robbie got in 1,200 miles and more than 300,000 feet of elevation gain over 63 days. And team, these are just two of three epic challenges he has finished so far! Robbie also completed the Central Park Loop challenge which consists of running the most number of loops around Central Park in NYC during the park’s opening hours of 6am to 1am the next day. Robbie got in 16 full loops around the park with almost an hour to spare, breaking the previous record of 11 loops. These are incredible accomplishments, however, this lifestyle that Robbie lives in is relatively new to him. In today’s episode, we discuss Robbie’s childhood, his experience as a successful restauranteur, and his gradual transition into a plant-based ultra-endurance athlete paving the way for others in the space.
We specifically discuss:
- How to set clear boundaries to prevent burnout
- Setting boundaries with self
- How to be selfish in a way that improves your life
- The pain plateau - How to push through the pain barrier
