07/16/20 • 52 min

Father and son Mark and Travis Macy are adventure racing and ultra endurance sports legends. Mark began by running a marathon and that eventually lead to Ironmans, ultra marathons and competing in Eco Challenges. Travis grew up watching Mark compete in these events and caught the bug too. Travis is now a finisher of over 120 ultra endurance events in 17 countries, author of The Ultra Mindset, coach, and professional endurance athlete. We chat with Mark and Travis about their recent competition in the ‘World’s Toughest Race: Eco Challenge Fiji’, Mark’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis and much more.
