Mastering Intensive Challenges - Run Larapinta - Episode 7

Mastering Intensive Challenges - Run Larapinta - Episode 7

Fellow intensivist Ed Litton and I signed up for a big challenge 10 months ago when we registered to run in the Run Larapinta, a 4-day stage race in central Australia. We've both completed many endurance events, however neither of us have done any serious trail running nor have we ever run 130km in 4 days on a rocky and mountainous trail like the beautiful Larapinta trail in the Northern Territory of Australia.

It's now only a week away so Ed and I had a conversation to update each other on our recent training before answering 5 questions we thought were worth asking each other at this final stage of our preparations.

  • What's worked well in our preparations?
  • What's not worked well in our preparations?
  • What's the focus of the remaining time?
  • What have we learned from taking on this challenge?
  • What is exciting us about the upcoming challenge?

We hope you'll enjoy listening to the conversation, and that it might inspire you to get out for a run or for any type of exercise that suits you.

Thanks for listening.
