In this special episode, Mark shares his journey from being a non-runner in 2016 to running for 24 hours on a treadmill attempting to break a world record only 6 years later. His adventures in dreaming up huge challenges, and the way he brings people together in a truly amazing story. I hope Mark's story of how he started running, and what he has done since will inspire you as much as it has me. 

In this second interview with Joe Ward, we dive deeper into his approach to ultra running. We hear about Joe's experience representing Australia at the Asia and Oceanic 24 hr Championships in Bangalore, India, and learn more about his mindset, how he prepares for races, and his outlook on life.

You can also go back and listen to the first interview with Joe - episode 12.

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.
