Extreme Endurance Challenge
Besides the physiological toll of running 295km in a single week, I will have to endure sleep deprivation due to extensive travel & time zone change, severe fatigue due to lack of proper recovery and extreme and unpredictable weather, as conditions range from very hot & humid (i.e. over 30°C in Australia) to freezing & windy (below -20°C in Antarctica).
I believe through physical challenges we can rediscover and reinvent ourselves to live a healthier happier life. And with my example I want to awaken a resilient athlete that lives in every one of us.
Why Am I Doing This?
Completing such an extreme challenge is as difficult mentally as it is physically. Moreover, things like depression & anxiety are not something only elite athletes face. Emotional pressure, hectic lifestyle, conflicting demands and resulting fatigue – all of it is universal and nobody is immune to it.
I personally believe that conscious exercise is a tool to a better mental health. When done right, it improves our health, lifts us up, fills with energy & purpose, so that we’re able to show up better across the board – for family, work and personal projects.
"I'll share firsthand what it takes to prepare for and go through such a challenge as a busy working individual, not a pro athlete. With kids, family, wife, job and all the daily obligations."
