305-Day Solo Run Across Canada: New Zealander Jon Nabbs' Expedition for Cancer Research
Manage episode 407938344 series 2753099
New Zealand ultrarunner, Jon Nabbs, discusses his 305-day solo run across Canada to raise funds for cancer research.
After losing both of his parents to the disease within a two-year span, Nabbs was inspired by Terry Fox's legacy and began his 8,000km trek from St. Johns, Newfoundland to Victoria, British Columbia, entirely unsupported. On this episode, Nabbs explains how the journey carried him through the grieving process, the most dangerous challenges encountered along the run, his newfound connection with Canada's running community, his previous ultrarunning feats, and what others can gain from his expedition.
We also discuss how he tended to the litany of injuries encountered throughout the run, his training leading up, and his favourite places visited across the country.
