Episode 29 - Pin Drop Pod x Kris King - 'Going beyond the ultimate'

Kris King is a seasoned ultra-runner, an elite fitness coach, and the self-proclaimed sadistic mastermind behind Beyond The Ultimate Races. If you’ve followed my journey you may know that I've participated in their brutal 'Ice Ultra' (250kms across Arctic Sweden in temperatures of -35 degrees) and the equally tough but utterly wonderful 'For Rangers' race (230km across the Savannahs of Kenya supporting the work of the The Rangers who protect Kenya's wildlife from poachers).  

In essence, Kris' job is to design and execute some of the world's toughest races - making them both challenging for professional ultra runners and achievable for  extremely mediocre ultra runners, like me. 

He’s most often found tearing along jungle roads in a 4×4 or flying over ice lakes on a snowmobile, giving spine-tingling speeches around campfires and kicking well-drilled emergency protocol into action when necessary. He brings together a world-class team of local guides, logistics experts and international medics who not only keep you safe, but cheer you on every step of the way. 

Kris has that perfect balance of sadistic psychopath and caring, enabling, nurturing human. Which means he and his team push you to your absolute limits all the while making you believe that you can achieve the seemingly impossible.

I can't wait for you to meet him. And maybe, just maybe set your sights on one of his races.
