About this listen

 Journey into the frozen extremes of human endurance as Ollie explores ultra-marathons in Arctic and Polar regions. From the 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Invitational to the 6633 Arctic Ultra, discover how runners battle temperatures below -40°F while carrying survival gear across Alaska and Canada's most remote wilderness. Learn about the science of cold adaptation, the gear that keeps people alive, and the psychological strategies needed when hallucinations become common and every step could be your last. Meet the legendary athletes who've conquered these icy wastelands and understand why the most supportive community in ultrarunning exists where survival depends on looking out for each other.
