Episode Description
What if the limits you believe in… don’t actually exist?
In this episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast, Joe sits down with Evren Ozka — an athlete who went from battling addiction, depression, and being 50+ pounds overweight… to setting three world-record endurance runs across Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE in just three weeks.
But this conversation isn’t just about world records.
It’s about identity, resilience, and discovering what’s truly possible when you decide to move forward — no matter what.
In this episode, we dive into:
Evren’s powerful transformation from rock bottom to elite endurance athlete
Why he signed up for a 100-mile race after barely being able to run 8 minutes
The brutal physical and mental challenges of running across multiple countries
How presence, patience, and problem-solving unlock performance in sport and life
The truth about recovery, discipline, and balancing family, business, and big goals
Why the real reward isn’t the record… but the person you become chasing it
If you’ve ever wondered what you’re truly capable of — this episode will challenge everything you think you know about limits.
