49: Redefining Limits: The Challenge Never Stops for Simone; A Runners Journey
Simone Carniglia joins the show from Italy with a remarkable story of resilience and precision. In just seven years, he’s gone from recovering after surgery and weighing nearly 130kg to becoming the world record holder for the fastest person with Type 1 Diabetes to complete all six and all seven World Major Marathons.
We talk about how a spontaneous 10K in Milan changed his life, how he’s now run 20 marathons around the world, and what it truly takes to race at a high level while managing a condition that demands constant attention. Simone opens up about the mental load, the nightly alarms, the risks, and the discipline behind every run — and how he helped open the door for athletes with T1D to be recognised by Guinness World Records.
A powerful conversation about overcoming obstacles, redefining limits, and inspiring others to do the same.
