Mark Dowdle is an endurance athlete and former football and lacrosse player.

This conversation explores the intersection of endurance and identity, digging into the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and how we get uncoupled from them.

We discuss turning pain into purpose, shared vulnerability as connective tissue, faith, why mood follows action, and dancing at the edge of your capabilities — where the mask comes off.

Mark is a change agent masquerading as an ultrarunner. Enjoy!
