I am a devoted listener of your podcast and I absolutely love it! Thanks for sharing and doing this AMA. I've also read your book and it was so inspiring.
You've spoken several times about setting huge goals and how people will rally behind it. You said not to worry about the details, but to just make the decision. So now, I am thinking about doing exactly that!
I am thinking about adopting a vegan lifestyle, raising a bunch of money and attempting the Alpine Run in 2016/17. It's absolutely crazy to think this might even remotely possible for me to complete 261km over 8 days, including huge altitude changes! If it weren't for your book and podcast, I wouldn't even remotely consider it.
My question is: How would you train for something like this? Is 18 months a reasonable time to prepare? Is there any literature on this and/or could you recommend maybe an online coaching program I could join to get started?
A little about me: 42yo male, 230lbs now and losing, reasonably fit, no injuries. Been focusing more on weightlifting, but recently picked up cycling and completed my first 70 mile bike race . Also ran a 10k without major preparation and did it in 58min.
