Exploring Purpose, Resilience and Defying Limitations with Ultra Runner Harvey Lewis

Hey Friends,

We are very excited to share this weeks episode! We sat down with Harvey Lewis, an incredible endurance athlete who has conquered some of the worlds most challenging ultra marathons. Lewis discovered his passion for running at an early age and began participating in marathons and shorter races. However, he soon felt the desire to challenge himself further and turned to ultrarunning, a sport that involves covering distances longer than the traditional marathon distance of 26.2 miles.

One of Harvey Lewis' most notable accomplishments is his participation in the prestigious Badwater 135, often regarded as the world's toughest foot race. The race takes place annually in Death Valley, California, during the scorching heat of summer. It spans 135 miles (217 km) through unforgiving desert terrain, including steep climbs and challenging conditions. Lewis has completed this grueling race multiple times, showcasing his mental and physical strength.

In addition to Badwater, Harvey Lewis has taken part in numerous other ultramarathons around the world, including the Spartathlon in Greece and the Jungle Marathon in Brazil. He has consistently demonstrated his ability to endure extreme conditions and push himself to new limits.

Apart from his remarkable athletic feats, Lewis is also a dedicated schoolteacher. He works as a high school teacher in Cincinnati, inspiring his students through his achievements and emphasizing the importance of setting goals and pursuing dreams.

We were grateful to chat with Harvey fresh on the heels of his Second attempt running the infamous Barkley Marathon! Harvey's tales and enthusiasm for life are monumental and truly inspiring, we know you're going to love this episode!

Enjoy,

Z&D
