Irishman Sean Tobin On Running The Fastest Antarctic Marathon – 2:53:33 In Freezing Temperatures For His Debut

“You’re just thinking of everything to get yourself through it. I was chatting with a lot of people down there. In hearing people’s stories, you realize everyone has their own story and they have something in their past that they’re there for now. That’s when I realized when I was on the course that it was all coming to me. I never had that experience before where you’re asking for help and anything to get you going.”

My guest for this episode is former Ole Miss standout Sean Tobin who just broke the record for the fastest Antartic marathon in history. Last minth, the Irish star went down to the Earth’s southernmost continent and ran 2:53:33 to win the Antarctic Ice Marathon and broke the previous record of 2:54:54 held by USA’s Mike Wardian. It was 6.8 degrees Fahrenheit but with super tough footing. He described it as one of the toughest things he’s ever done. He’s someone whose run super well on the track including personal bests of 3:57 for the mile and 13:33 for 5K. Hear more about how he pulled this off and what it took to dig deep mentally and physically to walk away with the record.
