hi i'm vegan and I support and respect what this guy is doing, but has he been checked for everything medically, have results shown that he has adequete B12 amounts. I know he's not showing any deficiencies, but surely that can be attributed to mind over matter, but at the end of the day there is always a physical reality we have to be responsible for. There are lots of stories of people ignoring physical problems like cancer and living for years without medication but in the end, well you know!
@Scottzer1 strangley enough, if you eat enough of al the different leafy greens, vegetables, etc... you can have a normal level of vitamin B12. If you don't you can always get B12 injections.
I have been vegan for many years with amazing results, but today i have been inspired by runningraws videos to buy a blender and make raw smoothies !! : P
i've always known deep down that raw is the natural way, because cooking is certainly not natural, damaging nutrients and the pollution for the planet. Raw although very logical is another step that can only be achieved through this type of confident inspiration.
Im not sure if he can beat that records, i dont care if that is an important objective, cause the world of sports is fulled of dope and results and not the health is the goal. He will have more shape, surely he will but there is no need of competition.
Did you know that if you put tap water into a container and check the PH it will give you a certain reading. Then if you put your finger in the container for a few seconds, take it out, then check the PH again...the PH will be lower! why? b/c the chemicals that use to be in the water has been absorbed threw your skin and into your system. I'm really concerned about the idea that what you put into your body via food is the most important thing for many reasons. In any event I enjoy your videos
Love your video. Question, since you are a vegetarian, how do you feel about bathing in dirty tap water? Does it bother you at all considering that you are striving for a healthy lifestyle?
take some apples cook them, eat these apples as your breakfast, notice how u feel the next hours. When the next day and u eat the same apples raw as breakfast(again nothing else). Again notice how you feel. Give us the report please. We re excited to know!
i am so happy i came across your video's, ive recently tried green juicing from a friend who told me to try it.. im 17 years old and i want to live life to its full potential. you have just persuaded me into "running raw" with you.. keep doing what you do people like me and many others are counting on you.
i joined his mission today. My 5k time is 29,35 as a cooked non regular hobby "athlete". I ll document(Can.HV30) my journey. Lets show the world whats possible on a organic rawvegan diet within one month, 3 month, 1/2 year, 1 year, 3 years. I am ready for day 2 :)
Ernietube: You didn't mention that native Kenyans train at high altitude with extreme desert conditions. It makes such a difference that some endurance athletes here train in special oxygen chambers that mimic high altitude training. Ever think that could be why they're such great runners? Also, stop being such a closed minded ass and try it out before knocking it down. Regardless of what anyone thinks, Tim is trying to inspire people to live a healthier life. Great work Tim, keep it up.

runningraw Joined: January 13, 2007 Last Sign In: 3 days ago Videos Watched: 702 Subscribers: 695 Channel Views: 10,828 Can a non athlete at 37 make the US Olympic team at 40 by switching to a 100% Raw Vegan diet? Grab a seat, kick back and watch Tim VanOrden try to change the world - by Running Raw. Name: Tim VanOrden Age: 40 The answer is- NO !!!!
If you read his story , how he got into all this was he was a Mess, he was Sick, Poor Immune system, Exhausted and couldnt get out of bed.
He started to eat this way, and doing nothing different except changing his diet, he was after 1yr Running 15 Miles a day !
That alone speaks IMMENSELY to the power and performance Potential of this diet. this is the most Unique Interesting Diet in the world, its Organic, clean, Green and the Benefits to a Person, Economy, Ecology etc are massive
@ernietube: if u ve never tried 100% rawvegan you ve not the experience to talk on this subject. If you would have been eating rawvegan for a month you would change your mind. But your probably to old to make such a huge experiment. So keep your knowledge, save it and take it with you in your grave. You re Einstein we love you!
If u grow up and never had a girlfriend in you re hole life it doesnt feel so bad - Because beeing lonely is your everyday life. But if u when get into a relationship u start to realize what you ve missed all these years. If u try a 100% raw food diet for a few weeks you will find out that this analogy is to the point. If u ve never seen a women in your hole life, would you feel bad? NO BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW IF THEY EVEN EXIT - so as you dont know the feeling of natural awesomeness thats possibl
i would luv to Purchase Tims full seminars on DVD or audio CD and hear the entire lectures. Perhaps if we all collectively let him know there is a Large Demand, he can make them avialiable ?
Just an idea, as i enjoy the videos so much, but they're too short and id like very much to hear the ENTIRE lecture ! If anyone out there feels same way, write to Tim as i did and request this.
Walter Mitty is a meek, mild man with a vivid fantasy life: in a few dozen paragraphs he imagines himself a wartime pilot, an emergency-room surgeon, and a devil-may-care killer. The character's name has come into more general use to refer to an ineffectual dreamer, appearing in several dictionaries.[1] The American Heritage Dictionary defines a Walter Mitty as "an ordinary, often ineffectual person who indulges in fantastic daydreams of personal triumphs." [2]
Eating practices of the best endurance athletes in the world
Kenyan runners tend to eat a limited variety of foods, and that was certainly the case with these elite athletes. Most of their nutrients came from vegetable sources, and the "staple" edibles were bread, boiled rice, poached potatoes, boiled porridge, cabbage, kidney beans and ugali (a well-cooked, corn-meal paste that's molded into balls and dipped into other foods for flavoring).
Meat (primarily beef) was eaten just four times a week in fairly small amounts (about 100 grams -- 3.5 ounces a day). A fair amount of tea with milk and sugar was imbibed on a daily basis (more on this in a moment).
If you're thinking about heading to a nutritional-supplement store to purchase some performance-enhancing supplements (or you already purchase on a regular basis), bear in mind that the Kenyan runners were not taking supplements of any kind.
Eating raw is not the way to go. Ask the mid long distance African runners. They dominate their sport not through going on a "way out" diet but through heredity, their high altitude environment and LOTS of running.
I suggest you set a better goal in life. The one you got is nonsense.
Actually, I train in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and muay thai so it would be very hard for me to be fat with the amount of training I do. With that said I don't even remember writing that comment I must have been drunk. Peace.
He doesn't train to be big, he's a DISTANCE RUNNER. Big muscles aren't so helpful in distance running. I'd be willing to bet that if he weight trained, he would be able to gain muscle.
I've been trying to lose weight for years and I admit I'm guilty of trying ridiculous fad diets that may seem to "work" but are NOT healthy for anyone. The answer was there all along: eat lots of fruits and veggies, but I've always avoided it looking for a "faster" way to get to my goal but you've helped give that extra push I needed to really stick to the one true way to good health. I can't give up eating meat so what I've decided is to lower my meat intake and drink more green smoothies!
He should go to ARNOLD'S WAY Raw Food Restaurant in Lansdale, PA. Id luv to hear his Talk ! Tim is Def 1 of the Best, Most Honest Raw Teachers out there.
Go on his site, RUNNINGRAW DOT COM, that is NOT a 'typical' Runners body.
Also go on here watch the video GO RAW NOW, check it out at 3:50 and watch it all the way through you will hear directly from Raw Vegan Bodybuilders ! you do NOT need Animal Protein !

I found the perfect diet. It's called "LOW CARBOHYDRATES".
I lost some 10 kg over 12 months and have maintained this weight for the last 12 months. My blood sugar went from "pre-diabetic" to normal.
Why would I want to go on a "way out" unbalanced diet for? I walk some 2 to 3 hours a day without any problems.
So, why should I change?
