An incredible but true account of achieving one of the most awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations everOn the night before he was to turn forty, Rich Roll experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly fifty pounds overweight and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he could see where his current sedentary life was taking him—and he woke up. Plunging into a new routine that prioritized a plant-based lifestyle and daily training, Rich morphed—in a matter of mere months—from out of shape, mid-life couch potato to endurance machine. Finding Ultra recounts Rich’s remarkable journey to the starting line of the elite Ultraman competition, which pits the world’s fittest humans in a 320-mile ordeal of swimming, biking, and running. And following that test, Rich conquered an even greater one: the EPIC5—five Ironman-distance triathlons, each on a different Hawaiian island, all completed in less than a week. In the years since Finding Ultra was published, Rich has become one of the world’s most recognized advocates of plant-based living. In this newly revised and updated edition, he shares the practices, tools, and techniques he uses for optimal performance, longevity, and wellness, including diet and nutrition protocols. Rich reflects on the steps he took to shift his mindset and leverage deep reservoirs of untapped potential to achieve success beyond his wildest imagination, urging each of us to embark on our own journey of self-discovery.

Part of the reason for my meh review of “Finding Ultra” isn’t so much the book itself but my expectations going in. Based on the title, I was expecting it to be more about ultra running. Furthermore, I expected Roll to describe how he went from being a sedentary out-of-shape 40 year old to an endurance athlete. First, he’s not an ultra runner, he’s an Ironman triathlete. But the bulk of “Finding Ultra” is about a challenge Roll and a friend came up with to complete an Ironman on five different Hawaiian islands in five days. I think Roll’s impulses are pure. He had some dark days of alcoholism in his twenties, which he shares with the reader. He wants to inspire people by demonstrating what he’s overcome. But right away (even as a white male) I was bugged by the strong whiff of white male privilege in “Finding Ultra.” Roll’s grandfather was a champion swimmer at Michigan, Roll’s father was an attorney, they summered at the family vacation cottage, Roll went to an elite prep school and then had to make the difficult choice of attending Harvard or Stanford. (He was sure to list all the top colleges he got into.) The whole vibe of this book was basically the opposite of the true ultra vibe, which is humility. Roll isn’t even humble-bragging but pretty much just flat out boasting. All of Roll’s stuff about the merits of the plant-based diet and how cut he is start to sound like sermonizing or an infomercial, like he’s trying to sell the reader something (which I think he might be; I didn’t get far enough in the appendixes to find out). After his rough spell with drinking, which—granted—landed him in a drying out facility, Roll meets his super-hot yoga teacher wife, practices law, and they build their dream house in the California hills. Yes, more challenges, poor guy. I don’t want to take anything away from the author; I think his work ethic is enviable. Roll pushes himself harder in every aspect of his life than anyone I know and deserves everything he’s earned. Yet he’s somehow hard to respect, because for the most part his adversity has been self-created. It’s not like he was some poor kid from the projects who started running. He was a bored corporate attorney who decided to do triathlons. There are probably a hundred of those in every major city. I get that alcoholism is a disease, and Roll was definitely an alcoholic. That’s the truest and most meaningful section of the book. Yet I’m even skeptical about why it’s included in “Finding Ultra.” The drinking happened when Roll was in his late twenties or early thirties, well before his actual decision to change his life and become a triathlete. I think it actually might just be inserted to counter the argument that here’s another white guy who’s been given every advantage and has to create challenges to keep himself from getting bored. Yeah, cynical of me to think that, I know. But Roll and his buddy very literally create the challenge I mentioned earlier of Ironmanning around Hawaii. If you’re going to make up your own challenge, it may as well be in paradise, right? Spoiler alert here, but the sad or funny thing, depending on your perspective, is that they failed. They couldn’t do the 5 triathlons in 5 days. It took them 7 to complete. Yeah, this would kill me if I even tried it, but let’s remember it’s a self-made boys’ adventure in Hawaii. How many people even have the time or money to train for such a thing? I couldn’t even afford all the plane tickets. And Roll spends like 200 pages giving us the play-by-play of this challenge. I now know more about bicycling saddle sores than I ever wanted to.
