60. RICHARD THOMPSON - Pushing The Physical and Mental Barriers in Discovering Your Ultimate Potential The Bodies Built Better podcast

    • Alternative Health

Today I chat with Ultraman World Champion and World Record holder Richard Thompson.

A man of incredible endurance and described as "one of the greatest ultra-endurance athletes of all time”, Richard is not afraid to push past his limits and strip back everything he thinks he knows about the sport and himself, to achieve success.

Richard shares how he got started in triathlons, his journey to Ultraman and the work and incredible team it takes to achieve this incredible task of completing an Ultraman in under 20hours.

Richard shares how vulnerability is playing a major role in becoming an even better athlete, sharing the mindset shifts needed when addressing self doubt, lack of motivation and ultimately, failure.

We also talk about his coaching business T:Zero Multisport coaching and how he and his team apply everything he has learned over the last 20 years to help athletes achieve their dreams in competing in triathlons and Ultramans all over the world.

Such a wonderful and insightful conversation with an incredible person who is seeking his own untapped potential.

What is an Ultraman:

An Ultraman competition comprises of 321.6 mile journey (517.5km) and involves a 6.2 miles swim (10km), 263 miles of cycling (423 km) and 52. 4 miles (84 km) of ultra marathoning.
