Charlie Engle - The Running Man on conquering addiction and his pursuit of self-improvement through extreme running challenges

Charlie´s Engle´s story goes
beyond the remarkable accomplishments of his
running career such as the Raid Gauloises, Running the
Sahara covering 4500 miles in 111 days, his famous run across
America, multiple top finishes at the 135-mile long Badwater
ultra marathon and running the 4 deserts race.





It´s the story of a man with a heart of gold. Somebody who
truly lives by his values and continuously strives to be a better
father, husband and son. More than once, he´s looked death in the
face and turned things around for the better, until in 2012, he
was sentenced to 18 months in prison for a wrong
reason. 





The thing that really made me think was, how he looks back
on his life and says, he´d wish nothing away and would do it all
again. Suffering has certainly been part of Charlie´s life´s
plan. 





But since he came out of prison, he hasn´t stood still. His
pursuit for the next extreme challenge is in the making.
Charlie is a sought-after keynote speaker and spoke at google
Zeitgeist amongst many others. 





He claims it´s never the circumstances that make or break
you. It´s how you respond to a situation. The power is in the
knowing that you always have a choice!
