Ep 120 Steve Redfern- Barkley Marathons & Sri Chinmoy Self Transcendence 3100 Mile race

Wolf and Haddy catch up with Steve Redfern for a live recording at Runnulla, hosted by the Godfather Sean Tindale.

Steve chats about his participation in the Sri Chinmoy Self Transcendence 3100 Mile Race, which takes place each year in NY. It involves running around a half mile block in Queens, from 6am to midnight each day for 52 days, to achieve 3100 miles or 4989km! The journey was eventful, he lost 80% feeling in his feet and toes and was still recovering six months after the race!

We also discuss his debut in the Barkley Marathons, one of the more obscure Ultramarathons in the world, which took him eight years to get to the start line. The race requires the participants to complete 5 loops of 20 - 25 miles each, while searching for 13 books hidden throughout the course, each loop has about 5000m of elevation! If that's not hard enough, it was -9 deg C!

Steve's a humble legend and we thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to interview him and share his stories.
