Episode notes

Fellow intensivist Ed Litton and I signed up for a big challenge 10 months ago when we registered to run in the Run Larapinta, a 4-day stage race in central Australia. We've both completed many endurance events, however neither of us have done any serious trail running nor have we ever run 130km in 4 days on a rocky and mountainous trail like the beautiful Larapinta trail in the Northern Territory of Australia.

It's now only a week away so Ed and I had a conversation to update each other on our recent training before answering 5 questions we thought were worth asking each other at this final stage of our preparations.

What's worked well in our preparations?
What's not worked well in our preparations?
What's the focus of the remaining time?
What have we learned from taking on this challenge?
What is exciting us about the upcoming challenge?

We hope you'll enjoy listening to the conversation, and that it might inspire you to get out for a run or for any type of exercise that suits you.

Thanks for listening.
