The Athletic Philosopher Podcast - Episode 38 On Running with Barefoot Ken

You're in for a treat with this discussion between myself and ultra running superhero Barefoot Ken. On the day after I completed a fasted, no water, no fuel marathon I sat down with only other person I've met who didn't think it was insane and has done it himself as well. 

We dive into why we enjoy running in a spiritual way that harness adversity and eschews comfort so we can learn deep lessons about ourselves. We bring up philosophers and poets who inspire us to enter nature, challenge ourselves through running, and offer our deep experiences as evidence you should at least consider taking on big challenges. 

Follow Ken's writing on Running at his website (https://thelongbrownpath.com/) and keep an eye out for a new book on running he's releasing in the fall, at which point I'll invite him back on to discuss it. Thanks Ken! Happy Running team.
