Episode description

Joining the podcast today is a remarkable individual who made a historic mark by winning a race that will be remembered for years. Jack Scott shattered an unbreakable record by an astonishing 10 hours. This year, he conquered the Montagne Winter Spine Race, covering 268 miles in just 72 hours, 55 minutes, and 5 seconds, with only 50 minutes of sleep. To put that distance in perspective, Jack ran over 10 consecutive marathons in that time.

Jack's story is truly inspiring. After battling a gambling addiction, he discovered a love and passion for running, which led him into the world of ultra running. What's even more impressive is that running isn't his full-time job. With the rise of ultra running, there is much to learn from Jack, and at just 29 years old, his story is already fascinating, with much more to come. What does it take to become one of the world's greats? In this episode, we will find out.
