” I run because it’s tough. In this struggle I find beauty and honesty. Being on the trail is a spiritual experience. It’s not about setting a record time or for accolades. I am free! It’s just me, trees and the mountain.”

– Fareed Behardien on how he feels when he is trail running

In this episode we meet an ambitious, obsessive and adventurous man whose story will inspire us to go forth and conquer mountains. Yes mountains! His passion, funny and authentic nature will captivate you from the onset and makes us appreciate the little blessings in life.
