Back to EpisodesWhy We Push Ourselves to the Limit | Josh Kempton
Description
Josh Kempton is a coach and ultra endurance athlete whose journey into training began after being medically discharged from the British military.
In this episode, we talk about how losing the career he thought he was going to have completely changed his direction, and why pushing his body through Ironmans and ultramarathons initially became a way of proving something to himself.
We get into his first Ironman at 21, taking on brutal ultra endurance events, the Madeira race that pushed him to breaking point, balancing strength and endurance, recovering properly after big events, and why constantly chasing the next challenge isn’t always the answer.
We also talk about failure, discipline, identity, martial arts, killing your ego and how difficult experiences can completely change the way you approach the rest of your life.
