In this episode of How was your day? I sit down with Ultramarathon runner Matt Coates as he shares his experience running the Marathon De Sables.

Marathon De Sables is an ultramarathon held annually in the Sahara Desert, often called the toughest footrace on Earth. Spanning approximately 250 km (155 miles) over six days, participants must carry their own supplies while enduring extreme heat, sand dunes, and rocky terrain.

Matt shares his experiences throughout this intense race, what he went through mentally and physically, what pushed him to keep going and what did he get out of this entire experience. Matt is an inspiring individual and always looks for a new challenge, never backing down from any obstacle.

Tune in to this episode to gain an inside perspective on what an ultramarathon does to an individual and the learnings from that experience. If you enjoyed this episode, give it a like and share with anyone that would enjoy it as well.
