He Ran for 101 Hours with No Sleep – Sam Harvey’s Ultra Human Story

Pre-order a copy of my new book Habits of High Performers here - www.thehabitbook.com

Sam Harvey went from being bullied in school to becoming one of the world’s top ultra marathon runners. In this conversation, we dive deep into how he built elite-level resilience, redefined pain, and created a career doing what most would call impossible.

What we cover:

• The mental and physical demands of backyard ultras
• How Sam ran 101 hours with only micro-naps
• What separates high performers from the rest
• Why he walked away from a traditional career
• How trauma, doubt, and drive fuel his success

This is more than a conversation about running—it's a blueprint for turning struggle into strength. Don’t miss it.
