A race for life : a diet and exercise program for superfitness and reversing the aging process : the amazing story of how one woman survived breast cancer to take on the toughest races in the world / by Heidrich, Ruth.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 153-156) and index.In her mid-forties, Ruth Heidrich was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing treatment, she realized she had to challenge herself to keep well. She decided to run the punishing Ironman Triathlon, a test of endurance involving a 2.4 mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile marathon run. To do this and remain cancer-free, she stopped eating animal products, adopting a plant-based diet and a life-affirming attitude that was determined - in more ways than one - to be in it for the long run. Twenty-five years later, Heidrich is still running, still cancer free, and still positive about life. This is her story. She describes her fight with cancer, her healing diet, and the rewards of competing in the toughest races in the world. She shows you how to become healthier, more positive, and challenge yourself to change.
