Having already won <strong><em>The Bad Water Ultra Marathon<\/em><\/strong> in 2015 and setting a record in 2016. He has now set his sights on setting a Guinness World Book of Record for the fastest Transcontinental run. We\u2019re talking 3100 miles of running in hopefully 44 days. For those of you who are like me and mathematically challenged, that\u2019s an average of 72 miles of <strong>running<\/strong> each day for 44 consecutive days! Along with Peter, we\u2019ll be talking to Charlie Engle of \u201c<strong>Running the Sahara<\/strong>\u201d fame. Also a veteran of this continental crossing and hopeful to attempt breaking Peters record if he succeeds. This episode is all about running long.\u00a0 Please join me <strong>Richard Diaz<\/strong> and Peter Kostelnick and <strong>Charlie Engle<\/strong> as we share this event as it is in its planning stages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rpm2.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturalrunningnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/RPM.jpg\" alt=\"RPM\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"The Ultimate Ultra Running Challenge\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2016-08-04T18:55:12-07:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT55M34S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Peter Kostelnick is on a mission.
