[powerpress] Today's podcast is an audio version of a blog post I wrote the other day called "how to run a faster 5k using the hit list technique". I recently made up this game while running the highest marathon in Europe. I also share how you can use ramification and other similar techniques to lean in when others want to quit and how impossible things are really just opportunities waiting for you to do the work. Links mentioned The Swiss ...

How To Run A Faster Final 5k Using The Hit List Method
I just ran the Swiss Alpine marathon. It was one of the most beautiful races I've ever done. Hands down. It also took me way longer than any other marathon I've ever done - almost two hours longer. I'll have a full race report this thursday, but it was intense brutal - just take a look at my face here. About 21km of the race took place in high alpine territory and we climbed two major summits (Keschhuttes at 2632m & and Sertigpass at 2739m ...
A Few Short Updates From Switzerland
Greetings from Switzerland. I arrived in the beautiful town of Davos yesterday. It's a sleepy little mountain town with some of the most picturesque mountain scenery you could imagine. Stuff like this everywhere you look. Tomorrow I'm running the Swiss Alpine K42 - a high alpine race and the highest marathon in Europe. I'm adding it on top of the Comrades ultra marathon in South Africa I ran last month in order to prepare for a new project ...
(Yet)
Every time you do something impossible, a little voice in the back of your head pipes up. Sometimes the voice is loud. Sometimes it's soft. But it's always there. I'm not fast enough to run an ultra marathon. I don't have the kind of body you need to get abs or lose weight. I don't have rich parents, so I can't start my own venture-backed company. I'm too tall, too short, too skinny, too fat. Whichever reasons it gives, the voice is always ...
The 2014 Plummet at the Summit in Photos
A few years ago, I wanted to jump out of an airplane and go skydiving to cross it off my impossible list - but I was to scared to do it on my own. So I decided to just say I was going to do it at WDS - the World Domination Summit in Portland and invite anyone who was interested to come along. That way, if I was leading a group of people - there was no way that I could back out. Dozens of people ended up coming with me and the Plummet at the Summit was ...

The 10 Most Impossible Ultra Marathons on The Planet
Four yeas ago, I started IMPOSSIBLE when I signed up to do my first ever triathlon. Back then, this was a big deal. I’d never run more than three miles in one go before and actually finishing a triathlon seemed impossible. So much so that my first triathlon was indoor because I figured it'd be harder for me to drown in a pool. Once I finished and realized that I could do more, I set off on my Impossible List and ever since, I’ve been crossing things off ...
