Chris shares his journey through endurance sports and the heartbreak of losing his wife, and how he found new purpose by cycling around the world and setting a world record on an indoor bike. Now, he’s channeling his resilience into a new mission: attempting the most summits of Pen-Y-Fan in a single year. This episode is about grit, healing, and the relentless pursuit of meaning through adventure.

In this episode, I sit down with Michael Jenkins, an extraordinary endurance runner, to uncover the stories behind his remarkable feats and the motivations that drive him.

Beyond the miles, Michael opens up about his complex relationship with his father, how it shaped him as a dad, and the deeper reasons behind why he runs. This conversation is a raw and inspiring look at resilience, self-discovery, and the transformative power of running.
