In this episode, I sit down with ultra-endurance runner George Rickwood to explore what drives someone to run over 400km a week and continually push the limits of what’s possible.

We dive into George’s unconventional approach to training, the mindset behind tackling Backyard Ultras and 100-mile races, how he manages sleep deprivation, and the lessons he’s learned from pushing himself to the edge. We also discuss the controversial disqualification that ended one of his biggest races after 54 hours, and why it hasn’t changed his desire to keep testing his limits.
