Manage episode 301300281 series 2887071
Weighing 250 pounds, a pack-a-day smoker, and a heavy drinker, Dion Leonard's life changed one night after making a drunken bet with a friend on who could run a 10km race the quickest.
From not being able to run around the block, Dion has since gone on to become one of the most competitive ultra runners in the world, competing and completing some of the world's toughest races across the planet's most extreme and inhospitable locations.
In episode #037 of The ManKind Podcast, Brandon Clift interviews Extreme Ultra Runner, Best-Selling Author, and Dog-Dad, Dion Leonard, who shares his remarkable story of how a down and out kid, grieving the death of his supposed father, learned to survive his childhood and early adulthood.
