Dr Inia Raumati is one of our Low Key Legends – a man who lives life in the extremes.
He works as an emergency doctor at Auckland City Hospital, was deployed to Iraq with the NZ army, holds a blue-belt in Jui Jitsu and has volunteered on rescue helicopters.
He is one of only a small group of people who have run the 4 Deserts Grand Slams, completing multi-day “raids” across the Sahara, Gobi, Atacama, and the Antarctic.
This year, Inia plans on being the first person in the world to run a self-supported, multi-stage ultra marathon (that’s over 250 km per race) on every continent, in a single year.
In this episode we talk about how running helped him deal with his anger in his youth, surfing without knowing how to swim, the obstacles he’s overcome, his path into medicine and the challenges of being a maori doctor in New Zealand, the most incredible stories from his ultra-marathon missions around the world and the logistics of working towards this year’s goal.
Inia is a candid, Kiwi bloke, whose honest sensibility, humour, and grounded nature was refreshing - and his mental hardness and mindset will blow you away. This is an ep not to be missed.
