S2E15 Kevin Weber's story of running to stay alive

March 31, 2022 • Jason Smith & Greg Ryan • Season 2 • Episode 15

Once in a while we get a guest who demands listening to. Kevin Weber is one of those guests. An extraordinary and inspiring story of how one man's refusal to give up on life after being given a diagnosis of terminal cancer has led him to run ultras all around the world and more importantly prolong his life.

There are so many lessons in this episode that should make us all reflect on how we live our lives.

Kevin has recently released a book telling his incredible story which you can purchase at all god bookstores and Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dead-Man-Running-Story-Alive-ebook/dp/B09C52Q5T2/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=GhgrD&pf_rd_p=441f5864-92d0-4067-8946-b0cfd1b58106&pf_rd_r=TTMB666AM47XJHBH7NPV&pd_rd_r=c3b87e61-2180-4869-85e2-b047ec0d1968&pd_rd_wg=e4k5e&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m
