The Brian Keane Podcast

Marcus Smith is an endurance athlete, ultra runner and motivational speaker

Today's episode is with someone who I look up to and admire greatly. When I'm trying to build my mental toughness, Marcus is one of my biggest influences for doing that. You may recognise his voice from Podcast 207 where he talks about going from the intensive care unit to running 30 marathons in 30 days. There are few people who light me up as much as Marcus, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Some of the things we talked about in today's episode:

• Building the 'ultra' mindset to just keep going when times get difficult
• Being on his deathbed in an intensive care unit and thinking 'what if'
• How to build confidence by doing things that cause you discomfort
• Making yourself mentally tougher by just showing up every day

And much more

Sanjay Rawal is a documentary filmmaker. He spent a decade in human rights philanthropy before realizing he could deepen his impact by turning a lens on cultures and communities worthy of notice. Hence was born a career in documentary filmmaking. Sanjay's documentaries include Ocean Monk, Challenging Impossibility, and Food Chains, which takes a hard look at migrant farm labour exploitation.

Sanjay's latest offering and the focus of today's conversation is 3100: Run and Become. A behind-the-scenes immersion into the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race — the world's most elusive and elite, multi-day running race.

Held annually around one utterly unremarkable half-mile urban sidewalk block in Queens New York, it demands competitors to complete at least 59 miles daily for 52 straight days.

The film also explores the historic and current relationship between running and spirituality through intimate visits with the Marathon Monks of Japan; the persistence hunters of Africa's Kalahari tribe; and Arizona's Navajo Nation.
