In June 2022 Sam Harvey from Christchurch came painfully close to breaking the world record for ultra distance running, after running pretty much non-stop for more than four days.Sam ran for 101 hours and covered 677km at an event in Queensland. His heart and mind are so unbreakable that he was FORCED by organizers to pull out of the race after he fell over and collapsed on the course.Sam is a fascinating guy with an unbreakable mindset so this episode is so much more than a podcast about running.For most listeners, as well as getting to know a bit more about this average ordinary guy who is on a mission to redefine what the human mind and body is capable of, most of us will get to learn a bit more about the fringe running events known as backyard ultras.To learn more about CurraNZ (the exceptional black currant supplement that Sam and I talk about) you can check them out here:https://curranz.co.nz/Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode.I know I’m supposed to say how much I like them because of our professional arrangement, but I genuinely was a fan of their products even before they approached me to sponsor the podcast.
