He started running in his mid-50s… and ran Comrades at 70. Barefoot.
In this episode, Brad chats to Dr. Sidy– a retired French diplomat turned barefoot ultra runner who has:
- Run 500+ marathons and ultras
- Raced on every continent
- Finished his 4th Comrades just after turning 70

He shares how a joke at the Chicago Marathon changed his life, why he believes every human should run Comrades at least once, and how he’s still running 600km+ a month in his 70s without falling apart.
