Nathan Flear is an Ultra Marathon runner. He competes in events of up to 250km, - through the mountains! For most of his competitors this has been a lifelong pursuit, but five years ago Nathan weighed 18 stone, he was drinking and smoking every day and literally decided overnight that something needed to change. Instead of dipping his toe in with a half or even a full marathon, Nathan decided to go all in on the pursuit of ultra marathons and in particular the Spartathlon. Within weeks he completed his first ultramarathon, in a few months he’d won his first 100 mile race and in just over a year he picked up his first international vest.This is an incredible story and we were fortunate to be joined by Dr Mark Slaski, a Sports and Organisational Psychologist, who helps to delve into the mind of an ultra marathon runner. We discuss the ability to push through pain, the ability to go all in on your goal and the power of big picture thinking.This was a fascinating conversation for me and I hope you really enjoy it
