Today is Thursday, September 11, 2025 and on this day in 2012, American physiotherapist Dr. Mike Studer set a new world record for the underwater marathon at his clinic in South Salem, Oregon.
In this episode, we’ll hear from Studer himself about how he prepared for this challenge, why he did it, and what surprising components made the feat harder than you’d imagine.
You can check out Studer's book, "The Brain That Chooses Itself" here.
This episode and every single other was edited and produced by my good friend Rob Garcia, who many know by his own podcast "Rob on the Run". If you are looking to get into the podcasting or Youtube space, but need some help on the technical side, I HIGHLY suggest reaching out to Rob. His email is [email protected]
