This episode is special! Why? Because it's Movember? Because it's number 11?

Yes, but also: Soroosh challenged himself last week! He's never been a "runner", but now he calls himself one! Why? How?

That's exactly what we'll be discussing in this episode.

Join us as Dennis interviews Soroosh on running the Haarlem Urban Trail, the why behind his decision to run, his preparation, and the pivotal role running plays in mental health.

They discuss the highs, lows, and unexpected challenges during the run, from the impact of rain to the uplifting cheers of spectators.

Explore Soroosh's mental and physical journey throughout the race, the moments of realization, and the stages that unfolded.

This episode is a testament to the power of running as a tool for mental resilience and the unexpected triumphs that emerge when we push our limits.

Tune in for a captivating discussion that goes beyond the finish line, capturing the essence of determination, challenges, and the mental fortitude that running brings.
