E37. Winning the Ice Ultra and making a Career of what you Love with Simon Dicks

In this episode we talk to the winner of the Ice Ultra, Beyond the Ultimate's 5-day multistage run across Arctic Sweden, a runner who faced down 5 days of running in temperatures as low as -35c with a grin on his face throughout.

A runner who not long ago decided to take a leap of faith and work towards making a career out of the thing he loves most.

When Dicksy took on the Jungle Ultra (the same format but much hotter, much wetter, and with infinitely more mosquitos) there was a lightbulb moment somewhere out among the trees where he decided to change his life.

If you're planning a cold race or adventure, we have some tips for you.  If you're looking for inspiration to take your own passion and make it a livelihood then Simon's story and his massive enthusiasm is just what you need.
