The Plant-Based Ironman: How Stefano Passarello Fuels, Trains and Stays Consistent on Plants Ep.465

He went plant-based purely for performance and raced the Ironman World Championship in Kona. His lessons work just as well after 50.

In this episode, I sit down with Stefano Passarello, Ironman athlete and co-founder of Kapuhala, the plant-based eco resorts in Koh Samui, Thailand and Sicily, Italy. Stefano went plant-based purely for performance: faster recovery, better sleep and a sharper mind for training and for his demanding career in finance. That choice took him all the way to the Ironman World Championship in Kona.

You will learn:

How he fuels long training days on whole plant foods, and why he picks “the big log, not the hay”

What he eats on race day to avoid hitting the wall

How he kept going when injuries stopped his running

How he keeps training on about 100 flights a year (“sleep with your shoes on”)

Why most of his training is easy, and only some of it is hard

Why connection with others matters as much as what’s on your plate

As Stefano tells his son: you don’t win the race on race day, you win it every day that you wake up.
