In this episode of SBS Radio Lawrence is joined by Kris and Will.

Kris and Will work for Beyond The Ultimate, the company behind 4 gruelling 230-250km Ultra Marathons across Desert, Tundra, Jungles and Mountains.

As well as being an SBS Academy lecturer, Kris King is the Race Director for Beyond the Ultimate and Will Roberts works in content production. The two decided to document the journey of Kris training a novice from scratch to one of the Beyond the Ultimate Ultra Marathons. Will became that novice.
