In this episode of The 10Adventures Podcast, we talk with Rob Pope, author of Becoming Forrest: One Man’s Epic Run Across America, and host of the How to be Superhuman Podcast.

 

Rob shares what inspired his desire to run across the US five times, following the path of Forrest Gump.  Rob also talks about the challenges of such a grueling adventure, the impact of doing this with his partner and then alone, and what he learned about the people and places in America while on his run.

 

Rob also reflects on how humans can achieve such incredible physical feats, how important perseverance is, and how all humans have the ability to be superhuman!
