It is also said to be the toughest endurance race in the world. Why would we do this, especially when it’s 40 degrees below zero?

Set in northern Minnesota, we meet Leah, a scientist who eats junk food, and Bill, an accomplished ultramarathoner who can’t seem to finish this incredibly challenging race. They ran, biked, and skied 135 miles in three days through remote forests, sometimes hallucinating, and barely stopping in the snow without getting frostbite or freezing to death. rest or sleep.

What can we learn from them about life, love, and happiness?
