Episode Synopsis

In Episode 9 ‘Ultra Leisure’, Teesside University’s Sharon Gayter (Lecturer at Teesside University Business School), and UWE Bristol’s Jaroslaw Turif (Senior Lecturer - Learning Disabilities Nursing) introduce us to the elite world of ultra-running where races last for days and cross some of the world’s most hostile landscapes. Find out what draws people to these extreme sports, how can they be navigated alongside working life and what are the unique gains that make such a punishing leisure activity so addictive.
