In this episode we talk with Englishman, Fergus Edwards about how he got started running ultra distance events! It was an invitation to be a part of a team in a multi-day event in the Gobi Desert in 2008 that was the start of his long distance running adventures. Since then his running hobby has taken him to some incredible places, which he’s been able to explore on foot. His favourite place to run is in the mountains. Luckily he now lives in Tasmania and has plenty of mountain running opportunities around him :)
Fergus has had a long career as an investment banker, which he has put on hold to complete a PhD on the works of Tom Stoppard (playwright) and philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein! This is a fascinating conversation with someone who loves to run, enjoy!
Fergus’ Running Tips - Put your trainers by the front door every night, next morning make sure you go out the door with your trainers on for at least 10 minutes (walk or run) and don’t do the same thing every time.. mix it up!
