Episode 380 - Delirious Athlete Intro - Gabe Alves: Running 200 Miles Against the Odds

In this episode of FitMIND FitBODY, we introduce Gabe Alves, an ultra runner who’s ready to take on the challenge of the 200-mile Delirious W.E.S.T. Gabe’s story is one of resilience, facing personal health challenges that pushed him to pursue his ultra-running dreams.

After being diagnosed with a degenerative lung disease, Gabe decided to go all-in on his passion for long-distance running, conquering some of the toughest races in Australia. From his first corporate triathlon to tackling 100-mile races, Gabe shares his journey, including how his keto diet helped him overcome his health hurdles.

He also reflects on his previous attempt at the Delirious W.E.S.T., the lessons he learned, and how he plans to improve in his next race (check out his video of the 2024 event below). Whether you’re a runner or just love hearing about perseverance in the face of adversity, this episode will leave you inspired.
