[Podcast]: Building momentum one step at a time with ultra-marathoner Kris Brown

March 5, 2021

Chaski Coach and Pro Runner Kris Brown chatted w/ The Purpose Playbook Podcast about his love for running, his restaurant business, and how he's managing both during the 2020 COVID-19 Quarantine.

From their episode description,

For Kris Brown, living on purpose involves two all-consuming careers: ultramarathons and hospitality. In this episode, we talk about how Kris “fell into” long-distance running and why he still works in the restaurant business, despite threatening to quit countless times. We talk about what he’s learned from managing kitchen crises, the difference between structure and discipline, and how Kris builds momentum when he’s been out of the game for a little while.

In May of 2025, I will try to set a new world record for the fastest ascent of Mt. Everest without using supplemental oxygen.

After keeping this project under wraps for months, I'm excited to finally share the details of my biggest mountain challenge yet. In this blog adaptation of our special podcast episode (see the full video-episode below), I break down my upcoming Everest speed record attempt - the culmination of years of progression through increasingly high and challenging mountains across five continents. From the specific records I'm targeting to the unique training approaches I'm using, this represents the pinnacle of mountain running and the ultimate test of everything I've been building toward.

Here’s the full video podcast where we talk through the project in more detail:
