World-Renowned UltraRunner and Former Supermodel Goes Vegan
The News
In 2007 at the age of 24, Michele Graglia moved to Miami Beach from Italy in order to expand his family’s floral business in the United States, but, within a week of his arrival, a modeling agent discovered him on the street and convinced him to pursue a career in modeling. Enriched but unsatisfied by the profession, Michele walked off of the runway in 2012, shortly after stumbling upon a book about ultra-running – a book that dramatically changed his life.
In this interview with TheirTurn, Michele recounts his journey from a small-town salesman to international supermodel and world-renowned vegan ultra-runner.
Michele’s book, Ultra, was published in Italy in 2017 and is scheduled to be released in the United States in 2019.
So inspiring! So glad he went vegan! Awesome dude!!
