#40 Ultrarunning phenomenon Stine Rex

In this episode, we are joined by the exceptional ultrarunner Stine Rex, who has set multiple world records and is constantly pushing the limits of what the human body can endure. Stine is known for her extreme performances in 24-hour, 48-hour and 6-day races, where she has run hundreds of kilometers in a row – and she's not stopping there!

Today we delve into Stine's incredible journey from her first run to the countless records and extreme challenges she has overcome. How do you mentally and physically prepare to run for up to 72 hours or break world records on the treadmill and road? What happens when the body says stop, but the mind refuses to give up?

We also talk about how Stine has handled the attention and criticism that comes with being at the top of the ultrarunning world, including the controversy with American ultrarunner Camille Herron, who accused Stine of cheating after her 48-hour record.

Stine shares her best training strategies, how she optimizes her diet and recovery, and what mental techniques she uses to deal with pain and exhaustion. And of course, we dive into her greatest achievements, which have set Danish and international records – including her world record of 913 km in a 6-day race.
