On the eve of his 40th birthday, Rich Roll had a sobering realization about his future. He was nearly 50 pounds overweight and had difficulty climbing stairs without taking breaks. He saw where his inactive lifestyle was leading him, and this sparked a wake-up call. He dove headfirst into a new routine that emphasized a plant-based diet and daily exercise. Within a few short months, he transformed from an out-of-shape middle-aged man into an endurance powerhouse.
“Finding Ultra” traces Rich’s extraordinary journey to the starting line of the elite Ultraman competition, a grueling 320-mile triathlon of swimming, biking, and running, designed to test the world’s most physically fit individuals.
