Marathon and Beyond Monday: Transformation of an Adventure Runner, Part II
Today we’re wrapping up our two-part edition from endurance legend Marshall Ulrich. Last week we heard the first half of Ulrich’s Marathon & Beyond article titled, “Transformation of an Adventure Runner One Runner’s Journey From the Farm to Mount Everest,
Through Joyful and Scary Places in His Heart and Soul.” The first half of ulrich’s story in which he transformed himself from a farmboy to an elite ultramarathoner and adventure racer, and how he endured the death of his first wife. But Marshall admits that his success in endurance sports had become too important to him. “I had a hard time believing that not finishing an event might be more beneficial to my psyche, to my heart and soul,” says Ulrich. This week we learn how that perspective changed.

The Endurance Planet Hour
On this week’s Endurance Planet Hour we talk with Karl Keltner who, each year, sets out on an adventure to raise money for charity. And when we say “adventure” we mean a tough, soul-searching endeavor that always creates lasting memories. This year Karl is raising money for the HOPE Foundation. HOPE (“Helping Overcome Pediatric Emergencies”) is aimed at addressing the financial needs of families not covered by national foundations and insurance, when they’re faced with a pediatric emergency. Also on today’s show we discuss how to achieve healthy body weight and we ask the question “What is going on the minds of professional cyclists?”
