79. DAVID 'JACKO' JACKSON -The Lessons Learned From Quitting an Ultra Marathon The Bodies Built Better podcast
-
- Alternative Health
Today on the show I welcome back David Jackson better known as Jacko where we chat about his experience running the ultra marathon The Ring O Fire in North Wales.
Back in 2013, Jacko suffered a seizure on at rugby training resulting in a bleed on the brain forcing his retirement from professional rugby. He couldn't run for nearly a year without triggering his symptoms and when he learnt how to breathe effectively and efficiently through nasal breathing, everything changed.
Having run his first marathon in October 2021, he set the Ring O Fire as his next challenge. This coastal ultra marathon takes runners on an extraordinary 135-mile (216km) journey, an epic race is staged over three consecutive days and follows the rugged and spectacular Anglesey Coastal Path.
Beauty aside, the extreme distance and variable terrain has sealed the race's reputation as one of the most challenging ultra marathons in the British Isles.
We chat about;
The difficulty of the Ring O Fire and how he felt he disrespected not only the course and the challenge but also his fellow participants.
We dive deep into what it means to quit (and may have come up with more questions than answers!)
What happens when we reach our limit
The most important outcome of this entire experience.
Jacko’s vulnerability is such a strength. His ability to explore his emotions and share his thoughts openly is something I respect and admire and I know this episode will resonate with you.
