Rise Above, Achieve Beyond with Adam Popp | RunChats Ep.137

<p>Adam is a 12-year combat veteran of the Air Force with deployments to Iraq &amp; Afghanistan as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team leader. In 2007, while working to disarm a roadside bomb (IED) in Afghanistan, Adam was injured by a secondary IED—resulting in the amputation of his right leg above the knee.</p>

<p>Adam is a Purple Heart recipient, Tillman Scholar, and now an eight-time Guinness World Record holder, and became the first above-knee amputee to complete a 100-mile ultramarathon within 30 hours in 2016. He has five 100-mile finishes and set an amputee record time of 16:13:43 for 100 miles in 2024. Adam also has the fastest marathon time for an above-knee amputee at 2:57 and completed a full Ironman in 11:03:06.</p>

<p>Adam is one of the most humble, most inspiring people you will ever meet. It was an honor to host this conversation. I hope you all will enjoy the listen and be moved to rise above and achieve beyond!</p>
