Listen "#9 - 1st Briton To Complete The Triple Crown of 200s, Feeling Alive, & Mistaking Comfort For Happiness | Scott Jenkins"
Episode Synopsis
I am so grateful and lucky to have Scott Jenkins on the podcast. He is one of the most humble and kind people I have ever spoken to. Scott is an Ultra endurance runner and philanthropist. For those of you that don't know Scott, in 2023 he became the first British man to complete the Triple Crown of 200s which consist of the Moab 240, Bigfoot 200, and Tahoe 200, and finished 5th over between the 3 races which is an amazing feat to say the least.
Here are a few more of his incredible accomplishments.
- In 2021 he set the British course record at Moab 240 (77 hours and 2 minutes finishing 15th/227).
- He also became only the 924th person in history to complete the official Badwater 135.
- He has run 100 miles in sub 22hours and finished 6th overall in the UK’s Canalslam in 2019.
- In 2022 Scott ran the Cocodona 250 Ultramarathon in Arizona. (97 Hrs 04 Mins)
- Scott first got the “ultra-running bug” after completing 75 marathons in 75 days from Boston to Austin 2000 miles in 2010.
He is also an ambassador for the Operation Smile charity and spent time on a charity mission to Mekele, Ethiopia to see and help firsthand with the work that they do. Over the course of the years the money he’s raised has helped achieve giving over 85 children the ability to smile for the 1st time.
We discussed Scotts endurance feats, his training, his mindset, fear of failure, pushing yourself to be uncomfortable and so much more! If you would like to follow Scott, you can find him on Twitter and Instagram @scottjjenkins. I hope you enjoy the podcast. And again, CHASE DISCOMFORT!
