Hello there, welcome to RunPod, the Run Club of the podcast world.

I'm Jenny Faulkner here to guide you through today's episode, which by the way is one that will be truly motivating.

If you're not already outrunning, then by the

end of listening to our guest today, chat, you'll be desperate to go out there and your trainers

because this man is so active and so get up and go that his actual profession, his actual title,

is adventurer. Yeah, imagine just being an adventurer. I mean, amazing. What does that even

mean? Well, we'll find out because we are joined by the man with the best beard around. It is the one

and only Sean Conway. Hello there. Hey, Jenny. Thanks for having me. Oh, no, thank you.

Yeah, brilliant intro there. I always cringe at the title Adventurer,

but it kind of makes sense, so I go with it anyway. Yeah, no, I think it's amazing. It's really cool.

I know that you were a photographer, so you have done other jobs, and I mean, you've written

enough books to be officially an author. I mean, but adventure it, that's a good one to have, I think. Yeah, I think so.

I mean, I'm probably more aligned with sort of a non-professional ultra-endurance athlete, I think,

is sort of where I sort of, I think is more pinpointing exactly what I do, because in the world

of adventure, you can sort of go and do exploration, or you can sort of do the sport side of it and I'm definitely on the far end of the

sport side so which which I need because I need those big scary physical goals to chase

otherwise I'm just a rubbish human you know oh my goodness I honestly can't believe it. So listen, wherever you are and

whatever you're doing, you might run really far today after listening to this episode because you're

like, well, Sean runs however far, you know, and doesn't even think about it. This might inspire

you to run a little bit further today. But before we get into all of that, a couple of things.

First up, Sean, the beard. Good to see
