In this episode of The Run the Riot Podcast, David chats with Alex Bruton, a newly dedicated ultrarunner and participant in the Run the Riot coaching program. Fresh off achieving a monumental goal—running 50 kilometers for his 50th birthday—Alex shares the incredible journey of preparing for his big challenge. Throughout the conversation, Alex and David discuss how ultrarunning, like Alex's personal "moonshot" projects, pushes the boundaries of mental and physical endurance. Tune in to hear Alex's reflections on the importance of believing in yourself, embracing the grit, and finding the joy in every milestone. Alex also dives into how this ultrarunning journey parallels his work in innovation, especially with his Moonshot Opportunity System (Moonshot OS), helping individuals achieve massive goals. They also touch on his heartfelt cause: raising funds for Give a Mile, a charity that provides flights for families to reunite during times of terminal illness.
