The Iceman

There is a great health and wellness podcast called THE RICH ROLL PODCAST and it can be found at www.richroll.com.  I discovered a man by the name Wim Hof on this podcast.  Wim has developed into an incredible machine. He has climbed Everest wearing only a pair of shorts and spiked shoes, no shirt and no  supplemental oxygen in two days. He can hold his breath with ease for over six minutes while swimming under polar ice without a wet suit. Hof also ran a full marathon in the Namib Desert without water. The run was performed under the supervision of Dr. Thijs.  He also ran a barefoot marathon above the arctic circle in -4 F (-20C).  Through trial and error Wim has trained his body to over come obstacles that would seriously injure if not kill the average Joe.  One last fact about Wim, he is vegan and only consumes one meal per day after 6PM.  #theveganfast
