In Episode 33, I introduced you to Joel Runyon who recently ran an ultramarathon on every continent - and raised a staggering $190,000 in the process.
Today, we're diving deeper into the obstacles he faced, lessons learned, and what he'd change if he were to do it all over again.
In part two of our conversation, Joel opens up about the obstacles he faced while attempting to finish the 777 Project.
They included injuries, unrelated lawsuits, brutal trail races in the mountains of Thailand, and the normal logistical nightmares of running races all over the world.
Of course, Joel didn't quit.
It didn't matter that he had to take 6 months off to rehabilitate a peroneal tendon injury.
He didn't care that every race - and the travel that went along with it - was self-funded.
Nor was it even an option to quit during a race (how's that for commitment?).
More important than the mindset that allowed Joel to leapfrog these obstacles is the impact and lessons learned from the 777 Project.
We cover all that and more in today's episode of the Strength Running Podcast.
