Ep. 745: Carrying On a Nearly 100-Year-Old Adventure Legacy - Daniela Ochoa Diaz

Take our listener survey here to give feedback to the show! Robbie has done some legitimately legendary adventures. He ran across the US, has the FKT for the Central Park Loop, and even outlasted a Tesla by running farther than it could drive on a single charge. However, on today’s episode we talk about something, in my opinion, that was much crazier; The Colorado Crush. In an effort to experience all the glory and magnitude that Colorado has to offer, Robbie pieced together an adventure of outright ridiculous proportions. The goal was to run the Leadville marathon in early summer, complete the nearly 500-mile Colorado Trail, run the Leadville 50-mile in mid-summer, then climb all 58 Colorado 14ers and finish with the Leadville 100-mile ultrarun, completing the Colorado Trail, the 14ers and the Leadville Trail Series in one summer. Unbelievable. Now let’s hear the story…Learn more about Robbie and watch the documentary below:Colorado Crush film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch-n7LwMVZ4@robbiebalenger@theaudaciousreportwww.theaudaciousreport.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

When Chris and Marty Fagan go on an adventure, they go big! From bike tours through Africa to racing sailboats in Alaska, the couple is a dynamic duo of adventurous spirit. Over the winter of 2013/2014, that spirit culminated in a 48-day ski expedition to the South Pole. Upon completion, they became the first American married couple (and second married couple in history) to complete a full unsupported, unguided, unassisted ski from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole. In fact, they're two of just over 100 people in all of history to have traveled to the South Pole in that way.Chris is an amazing storyteller, and I hope you enjoy this conversation about two parents risking it all for a chance at an extraordinary adventure.  Chris' book about the trip, The Expedition: Two Parents Risk Life and Family in an Extraordinary Quest to the South Pole, comes out September 3, 2019.

Originally aired - May 18, 2020After running her first marathon in Tokyo after the loss of her father, Liz grew a deep love of running as a form of therapy and exercise. She had a self-proclaimed “addiction” for the high of crossing the finish line after over 26 miles of running, especially in places that were far from her hometown of Atlanta. As she approached her 30th birthday while living in Paris, she decided to join her passion for travel and marathons into an adventure of a lifetime! She committed to run 30 marathons in 30 different countries by the time she turns 30 in June of 2020. Each marathon focused on a different charity and she’s currently raising $100,000 to donate to various causes.
