Episode #049 | Ben Banaghan #2
Ben Banaghan is BACK - as a World Record holder!
As the records stand, Site Manager Ben is now the fastest person to run the entire length of Iceland - from the most northern point to the southern tip - he did 590 km in UNDER 8 days!?
Find out EVERYTHING there is to know about what a challenge like this entails as Ben goes in depth on logistics, injury, calorie intake, weather, mindset, supplementation & much more (including why his time is technically an unofficial record, but what's being done to get into those history books!)
Whether you work on site, run marathons, or just need a shot of motivation - this episode will light a fire under you.
