198. The Vegan Cyclist On Self Documenting His Canada to Mexico FKT & What He's Done To Build 20lbs Of Muscle

Have you ever wondered what it takes to set a cycling record from Canada to Mexico? In this episode on the Dialed Health podcast, I sit down with Tyler Pearce (aka The Vegan Cyclist) while he shares the incredible story of his border-to-border cycling journey. He reveals how he not only rode nearly 1,800 miles in just over 9 days but also managed to document the entire experience in real-time through social media.  We discuss nutrition strategies, sleep deprivation and the emotional rollercoaster of being away from family. We also dive into the mental and physical demands of such an endeavor to help share the valuable lessons he learned along the way.  Tyler Pearce is the current back-to-back USA National Ultra Distance Champion, dedicated family man, filmmaker and content creator.
