If you watched the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, you may have seen Peres Jepchirchir power her way to a gold medal, in an incredible marathon race. Today, Jepchirchir is competing in the 50th New York City Marathon—hoping for another victory.

After starting the sport as a child, Jepchirchir now holds the half marathon world record, in addition to Olympic gold. Her rise in the running world has been a true inspiration to runners in her home country of Kenya, and all over the globe.

In fact, that’s why adidas chose her for their new Impossible Is Nothing campaign, which spotlights what sports enable us to do (on and off the pitch, court, track, or field), through the lens of athletes’ incredible stories.

“We are proud to partner with Peres to tell her story from growing up running as a young girl, rising through the ranks to fulfilling her dream of running in NYC, proving anything is possible,” Jennifer Thomas, Director, Sports Marketing at adidas shared in a statement.

How NYC Mayoral Candidate Eric Adams Transformed His Life With Food https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/how-nyc-mayoral-candidate-eric-adams-transformed-his-life-with-food/ https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/how-nyc-mayoral-candidate-eric-adams-transformed-his-life-with-food/#respond Mon, 21 Jun 2021 22:11:20 +0000 https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/how-nyc-mayoral-candidate-eric-adams-transformed-his-life-with-food/

Today, he makes fruits and veggies the star of his plate: He discovered broccoli, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, kale, and other vegetables he had never heard of before. “The dam broke,” he writes in his book, Healthy At Last. “I was soon eating mushrooms, carrots, asparagus, sweet potatoes, red cabbage, beans, peas, and more.” (He even had fun finding new plants to cook with—items like cherimoyas, pawpaws, and pomelos make it into his regular rotation.)

“The fountain of youth is found in your fridge,” he says on the podcast. “That’s where you must start.” That’s not to say you absolutely must go plant-based (everyone’s body is different, after all), but it is a case for adding more whole plants to the menu. Perhaps start with Adams’ quick and easy black bean tacos
