Vegan ultrarunner Harvey Lewis recently won the 24-Hour National Championship for the third time. With just over 130 miles, Lewis conquered the NorthCoast 24-Hour Endurance Run in Cleveland, OH. He previously won the championship in 2015 and 2017. 

纯素超马跑者（vegan ultrarunner）哈维·刘易斯最近第三次赢得了美国“24小时全国锦标赛”（24-Hour National Championship）冠军。这次在俄亥俄州克利夫兰市（Cleveland, OH）举行的“北海岸24小时耐力跑”（NorthCoast 24-Hour Endurance Run）赛场上，刘易斯力压群雄，突破130英里一举夺魁。此前，他在2015年和2017年分别两次夺取了该项赛事桂冠。

Lewis went vegan three years ago after being vegetarian since 1996, and he attributes proper plant-based nourishment for his running success and quick recovery. “It’s the single most important ingredient to my longevity in the sport,” Lewis told VegNews. 

刘易斯从1996年开始吃素，三年前成为纯素食者。他认为自己的赛跑成就和（身体）快速恢复得益于合适的植物性营养（plant-based nourishment）。刘易斯向VegNews网站透露：“植物性营养是我得以长期从事该项运动的一个最重要因素。”

“My health, energy, and performance as a runner changed dramatically when I became vegetarian [and, more recently, vegan]. I truly believe it’s possible that I could win 24-hour races for many years to come. One of my friends, Marco Olmo of Italy, won the famed UTMB at age 58 eating plant-based and another friend, Mike Fremont, is still setting records in the half marathon at age 97 eating all vegan.” 

“我作为一名赛跑运动员，在成为素食者[并且最近转为纯素食者]之后，我的健康状况、精力和成绩都有了巨大提升。在未来许多年里，我真的相信自己可以继续赢取24小时赛跑冠军。我的一个朋友，意大利人马可·奥尔莫（Marco Olmo），也采用植物性饮食，58岁时在著名的环勃朗峰超级越野耐力赛（UTMB）上勇夺头魁。还有另一位朋友，名字叫做迈克·弗里蒙特（Mike Fremont），也是一名完全纯素食者，已年届97岁高龄，但仍在半程马拉松（half marathon）赛场上屡创纪录。”

As a member of the US National 24-Hour Running Team, Lewis has competed internationally, and has also won the Badwater 135 ultramarathon in 2014—a gruelling, 135-mile course through Death Valley in California.

身为美国24小时赛跑国家队（US National 24-Hour Running Team）的队员，刘易斯也参加了一系列的国际比赛，并称霸2014年恶水（Badwater）135英里超级马拉松赛──135英里的比赛路线穿越加利福尼亚州的死亡谷（Death Valley），这是一项充满艰难险阻的赛事。
