Ultra Running with Autism with Zach Bates
Listen now
Description
In this episode I catch up with Zach Bates, a young man who is crushing 100 mile races currently who grew up with Autism. Coming on a podcast is a big thing for someone like Zach, and it was good for both Zach and myself to chat together about growing up with Autism, finding the love for running and then going out and start crushing Ultra Marathons inc 100 miles. Autism is a SpLD as we call it over here and a subject that we need to talk about, and with people like Zach smashing challenging sports, it's proof we as humans are capable of doing incredible things.

Zach also has a film coming out here is the trailer https://youtu.be/kzzlEW11SFQ you can help fund the film being finished off here https://gofund.me/ee55b4f2
