World Marathon Challenge, and the support he received from his family after taking the physical and financial leap.
We discuss Paul’s training approaching leading up to the 777 and the amount of training volume he peaked at to prepare, including his level of confidence going into Antarctica.
We talk about Paul’s fueling and sleep protocol going into the event and how well it worked. Paul discusses what he believes it was that helped him in the end.
Paul talks through each leg of the event, some of the high points and lower points and where along the way did the possibility he could win come into mind.
