We had this motto, which was Antarctica don't care.

It's hot outside and you're dehydrated.

Inartica don't care. Your legs are exhausted. It don't care.

You're sleepy.

This is one of the major catalysts that allowed me to step into this next level of endurance sports, and I trained so hard for it.

Episode 186, Jacob Val Myers, Antarctica, and other icy expeditions.

You're listening to the Adventure Sports podcast.

We talk with adventurers from around the globe to bring you the inspiration and motivation you need to get started in the outdoors or to keep you moving if you're already there.

Now here's your host, Kurt Lindville.

Hi, friends. Welcome to the Adventure Sports Podcast.

Today I have Jacob Val Myers with us, and Jacob was on the show about four years ago talking about completing the Arizona Trail. He's done a lot of

massive athletic events. I get the opportunity to interview a lot of people who are athletes.

But every now and then, we talk to what I consider to be a super athlete.

And Val is one of those people.

I think anyone that runs an ultramarathon of 100 miles qualifies as a super athlete in my book.

So we're going to talk about a lot of fun stuff today.

Val has done Antarctica expeditions.

He's done amazing trail runs.

He has upcoming expeditions to Alaska.

He's done expeditions in Norway.

We have so much to talk about.

Val, welcome to the program.
