Individuals, as well as groups of people, have the ability to endure and perform beyond what one usually perceive as possible if just some parameters can be optimized. Physiological, mental, and cultural factors, as well as motivation, rest, and nutrition are links in a chain that supports our abilities. One can do a lot in order to optimize these parameters. Achievements that seem to be out of one’s reach, might be within reach, but at the moment beyond a mental barrier. One can identify and move these barriers and limitations.

Rune Larsson has certainly moved barriers and turned his dreams in to reality. Few athletes have ever pushed the quality of endurance more to its extreme than what he has done. Twice he run the 1015 kilometre Westfield Run between Sydney and Melbourne, three times won the classic Spartathlon, a 246 kilometre race which is widely regarded as the hardest race on the planet, and holds all Swedish records of distances longer than the standard Marathon of 42,2 kilometres. He is the only person in history ever to cross both an ocean (Ward Evans Atlantic Rowing Challenge Oct. 2001 – Jan. 2002) and a continent (U.S.A. Run from San Diego, Cal. to Sandy Hook, N.J. April to July 2004) with only the use of his muscle power. Experiences from these Challenges and other’s have been compiled into lectures on how human beings can break barriers and optimize the ability to perform.

Rune lectures with humor and many anecdotes about how one can extend one’s range in life.

Rune is an experienced lecturer and he writes his own column in the Swedish edition of Runner´s World. He has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Physical Education from United States International University, which complements the empiric knowledge he has gained from all miles of challenges and adventures. In 2007 Rune Larsson was awarded the Speaker of the Year Award.
