In this episode, we have eight lessons from Ultra Endurance, taken from eight separate guests that have appeared on the show. 

First up, we have Mark Beaumont, ultra-endurance adventurer and multiple world record holder, who discusses how sometimes people over plan, rather than just going out there and building their trade. 

Next, we listen to Sean Conway, ultra-endurance adventurer, explain how he has dealt with the setbacks in his career and various strategies that have helped him to overcome them. 

Jonny Pain, ultra-endurance athlete and coach, explains his experience of dealing with the fear and anxiety leading up to an event and how his experiences have influenced his life as a father and a husband.

Kris King, ultra-runner and race director, outlines how being honest and fallible is crucial for success and how ultra events refine us as a person. 

Paul Minter, who ran 5000 miles around Great Britain, talks about how his experience of Ultra running has reinforced that no matter how bad things are, we can get through them if we keep going. 

Flora Beverley, ultra athlete and businesswoman, describes how she got into ultras and the value of beating your own personal bests rather than comparing yourself to others. 

Alex Staniforth, adventurer and ultra-endurance athlete, talks about how the body can endure so much and how ultras have helped him to transform his mindset. 

Finally, Rupert Guinness, ultra-endurance cyclist, discusses how ultras should be seen as a privilege, not suffering, and how he's dealt with the failure of not completing Race Across America.
