Ep. 9 - Professor Mike Stroud - Antarctica To The Sahara: Tales And Tips From A Life Of Endurance

Professor Mike Stroud is an endurance athlete, doctor and researcher.  This was a terrific episode where Professor Stroud told the stories of his year spent on Antartica, attempting to walk to the North Pole, crossing Antartica continent with explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, as well as many other epic expeditions.  We discuss the human body and how everyone can access the survival mechanisms to allow them to complete ultra-endurance events, how he wanted to shoot Sir Ranulph Fiennes with the rifle meant for polar bears, how having a short term memory is the best tool for endurance athletes, and how he’s still motivated aged 68 having recently completed a 1000 mile kayaking trip down the Yukon River.
