Ultra runner, Arun Sarkar, talks us through his journey to becoming an ultra runner. Arun has accomplished big things since he started running in 2012. Yeah that’s right: he has only been running for 7 years, but has run over 100 halves, marathons and ultras combined. It’s not often you know someone with the stories and willpower to just keep running, but Arun defies most of our expectations of what the human body can do. We learn how Arun got started running on Jan, 16 2012. He talks about a specific run that pushed his body and mind to go beyond his limits to show him he can accomplish whatever he puts his mind to. But sometimes life doesn’t happen the way we expect it. In Arun’s case, an injury in 2018 set him back to racing at the World Championships, but when a new opportunity came at him in 2019 he is trying to find a way to get to that start line.
