Harrison Tucker on Plant Powered Long Distance Skateboarding

Summary: Ultra-Endurance Long Distance Skateboarding. Yep. I hadn’t heard of it either. This small but blossoming sport - called ‘Long Distance Pushing’ - is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard of, in such a cool way. This week’s guest specializes in the 24-hour race, completing upwards of 200 miles. Harrison is a professional athlete through and through, following a fully structured and periodized training program, dialing in his nutrition to maximize performance, and is fully sponsored. And to top it off, he just turned 17. Crazy right? Harrison is also completely plant-based, fueling his training and racing on a mostly raw vegan diet. We met up in Boulder while he was out here looking at colleges, and I immediately knew I wanted to do a podcast with him, so he called in from his home city of NYC. In the conversation we talk about: * what the sport of Long Distance Pushing is all about * how he got into this crazy event * what’s involved in his training * how he shifted towards a plant-based diet and how that affects his training and racing * what his daily diet looks like * and plenty more! It was a really fun conversation that helped me get a sense of a really cool new sport, and get to know the super cool dude that is Harrison Tucker. I hope you guys enjoy it just as much!
