The runner who blazed through 3,524 km in just 40 days: Tara Dower S3:E2

from How to Be Superhuman · host Red Bull

Tara Dower’s record-breaking run on the Appalachian Trail pushed the limits of endurance and mental strength. Covering 3,524 km in just 40 days, 18 hours and 5 minutes, she battled extreme fatigue, brutal terrain, and her own mind – where even a "dirt nap" could mean the difference between failure and success. In this episode, I talk to the ultra-runner and trailblazer, whose first attempt at the trail ended in a panic attack. She shares how overcoming anxiety, training with legends and leaning on her crew helped her break barriers – not just for a record, but for herself. Follow Tara on Instagram.
