Radio Headspace

This month is Headspace’s Guide to the Body, and on Radio Headspace I’m talking to the experts about how we mindfully approach exercise, eating, sleeping and recovery, and how ordinary people can accomplish quite extraordinary things. This week I’m very excited to be talking to two people who have inspired millions of every day athletes and every day heroes all around the world. They are ultra athlete, author and one of the world’s fittest men Rich Roll, and writer and journalist Chris McDougall, author of the now world famous Born to Run, and the soon to come Natural Born Heroes. If you want to know more about Rich Roll, check out his site and be sure to listen to his podcast on April 20 which features our very own Andy Puddicombe. His first book, Finding Ultra, is out now, and his next book, The Plant Power Way,will be out April 28. Rich features as our Headsapcer of the month later this month. Chris McDougall changed the face of running with his first book Born to Run, as has since gone on to explore the human propensity to be good at other surprising endeavours like obstacle courses, mud running and parkour in his follow up Natural Born Heroes. The Natural Born Heroes tour is ongoing now, and Born to Run is currently being turned into a feature film featuring Matthew McConaughey.
