From smoker and drinker to ultra-runner and Ironman * Jason Dunn
Manage episode 431550443 series 2363438
Regular listeners will have heard me talking about turning 60 in February of this year, and how it has sharpened my mind and prompted me to adjust my focus around training and life habits. I’ve also become a lot more curious about how others are tackling life post-60. Are they just waiting for the inevitable, or are they being proactive and doing everything they can to continue living life to the full?
Today's guest, Jason Dunn, is doing the latter. His book Unlimited: The art of being Limitless tells the story of making a huge decision when he turned away from his boyhood dream of becoming a professional football player in England and, at 17, moved to Australia. There he started to build his new life and succumbed to cigarettes and alcohol, and often chose the easier road. For two decades, he carried the weight of "I could have", until, at 34, he made a radical shift. Despite never having learned to swim or ride a bicycle, he resolved to qualify for the Hawaii Ironman World Championships. One simple choice to take the tougher road and face life's fears set in motion the pathway to being unlimited. Along the way, his path was littered with adversity, life-threatening accidents, and heartbreaking failures.
During the conversation we chat about:
- Overcoming self-doubt and achieving success through consistent effort and mindset (06:01)
- Face to face with a 6 foot Monitor Lizard during a run (37:10)
- Maintaining perspective when things don't go to plan (23:59)
- Building resilience (31:56)
- From a non swimmer with a fear of water to Ironman Hawaii with a 2.4 mile open water swim (47:43)
- The 4 second rule for decision making (1:01:50)
- The 90 day high performance plan (1:09:05)
- The importance of nutrition and movement for health, recovery and longevity (1:23:40)
