Episode 218 - Gareth was motivated to run ultras after watching a documentary :)

In this episode of the podcast ultra runner, Gareth Hinds talks about how he fell in love with trail running and especially the community that he’s found in the sport.  We also dig into mediation and mindfulness and how they work together to enhance Gareth’s trail running and ultimately his life.

Gareth is off to UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc) in France to run 160km on the mountains of Chamonix.  As you can imagine, training for this big event is his main focus atm.  However he also talked about a new project he’s working on called Trail Nation, which combines running with other forms of wellness inside a community.  You can check it out here - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087326536508

We wish Gareth and all the other UTMB competitors the best of luck and a day (or 2) full of adventure and big goals ticked off :)

“Running and mediation go hand in hand in making somethings in life a little bit easier.”
