About this episode
Here's the second part of the BBR interview with adventurer Alfie Pierce-Higgins talking about his challenges in China and around the world.
If you've not listened to the first part, we suggest going back now and giving that a listen first.
Listen to this episode and you'll discover:
- How Alfie prepped to run the Ultra Trail of the Gobi in China
- How the Chinese ultrarunning scene is just a bit different from what we're used to
- How Alfie became a celebrity in China after his Gobi challenge finish (and how you can, too)
- Exactly how Alfie prepared for such an awesome challenge
- How Alfie managed to get the Jordanian government to sponsor his run across Jordan
- Why he loves running without the racing
You don't have to worry about the Silk Cut on this episode, we go straight into talking with Alfie.
