#055 Mark Avery | Running 24 Hours On A Treadmill With A Purpose
Hello beautiful people
On today’s podcast we have the wonderful Mark Avery. Mark lost a good friend, Frank, to cancer in late 2014. This event sparked mental health challenges for Mark which he internalised thinking he had to be ‘strong’ and began drinking away what he felt was weakness. Fortunately, Mark eventually decided to speak with a doctor which fuelled a transition into ultramarathon running and raising mental health awareness. Mark ran 21 half marathons in 21 days, having conversations about mental health each day, in partnership with Gotch4Life. He ran from Tweed Heads to Sydney, and most recently ran 24 hours on a treadmill in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record and has continued raising funds for the Cancer Council.
What I personally love about this conversation is Mark’s vulnerability and thoughtfulness through reflection to the questions posed. He seems to have gone on this journey from running for a sense of self-worth to running with a purpose of contribution. He shares intimately his experience of not meeting the World Record he had recently planned and what he hopes, in persisting through the 24 hours on a treadmill despite this, inspires in others. I can personally say with certainty his story is one of inspiration and impact.
Please enjoy this really lovely conversation with Mark Avery.
