How to accomplish physical feats of endurance that many people have not with world leading ultra runner Adam Kiimble
Adam Kimble is a professional ultra-trail runner, running coach, race director, motivational speaker, and amateur survivalist from Truckee, CA. He played Division-1 baseball at Bradley University prior to developing his passion for ultrarunning, and after graduation in the summer of 2009, he ran his first-ever 5k race near his hometown of Minooka, IL. The race resulted in terrible cramps and a lot of pain, but fortunately, it also came with a second-place age group finish! Once the pain subsided, Adam decided his racing days weren’t done, and he trained to complete his first half marathon in 2011. After completing his first ultramarathon (50k) in 2014, the question became “what else is my body and mind capable of?” Following the Fastest Known Time (FKT) ever on the 171-mile Tahoe Rim Trail, a 60-day transcontinental crossing of the USA (2,500 miles), 60 days alone in the wilderness to become the winner of Discovery Channel’s "The Wheel", seven podium finishes in 100-mile races, and a 31-day self-supported FKT across Great Britain (John o’ Groats to Lands End + The Three Peaks), the limits are nowhere close to being reached.
