Today’s inspiration: Running 30 Marathons in 30 Days with a Refrigerator on your back.
In this week’s interview Tony The Fridge (@tony_the_fridge) is not afraid to tell the world that they can beat cancer and depression.
Tony is an Award Winning, World Record Holding, Extreme Endurance Athlete & Ultra Runner. Best known for taking on impossible journeys while carrying a 42kg Smeg Fridge. Some of his accomplishments include:
- Running the entire length of Great Britain in 40 days
- Completing The Great North Run 30 times in 30 Days
- Running 67.1 Miles in 24 hours
- Running 44 miles in 12 hours on a treadmill
- Completing over 50 Marathons & Half Marathons covering over 2400 miles carrying a 42kg Smeg Fridge
- “I don’t think running is a sport, it’s what we’re meant to do. We’re designed to run & hunt, that’s what this species is meant to do. We weren’t meant to be sitting still.”
- “When I look back at the toughest journeys in my life, those are the journeys you look back on”
- “There is no easy way to anything, and the toughest, hardest ways are what thrill me when I look back at them.”
- “What we should never ever forget is how magical life is. How fascinating & amazing it is that we come from a speck and we grow into these fantastic machines with such limitless capabilities.”
- “The fridge represents the burden of cancer. I want to pay tribute to their lives by taking on an impossible journey, so I’m going to run a half marathon every day for the next 30 days and every step I take is a tribute to the people who have been affected by cancer.”
