Listen Later

Kris is an athlete known for being an expedition leader, ultra-runner, and storyteller.

He is associated with organizations such as Beyond the Ultimate and the Spine Race.

Beyond the Ultimate is a company that organizes extreme ultra-marathons in various locations around the world. Locations that include the Amazon jungle, the arctic (the 230km race I completed in 2019), the desert and their new race in the mountain in Kyrgyzstan (which I'll be doing in July of this year)

Here are some of the things we talked about in today's podcast:

  • The growth of adventure races vs standard marathons and ultra-marathons
  • The conception of BTU and designing races in some of the worlds coolest places
  • The biggest mistakes people make on multi day stage races
  • Dealing with pre-race anxiety
  • The skills ultras teach you about managing life
  • How much of ultras, stage races and adventure races are physical vs mental
  • And much more
