Rune Larsson's Bio (Sweden)
Expertise: Endurance Sports Nutrition / Ocean Rowing

Rune Larsson has done what most of us would never even dare to dream of: he is the only person to have run across the U.S.A. In On the 21st of April, 2004, Rune set out from San Diego on foot with just a stroller, and no support crew trailing him. 82 days 3093 miles later he reached the Atlantic shore.

One of the world’s best extreme distance runners, he has been inducted into the Sparthathlon Hall of Fame after a record number of wins. The Sparthathlon is widely recognized as one of the toughest courses in the world, starting in Athens and ending in Spartha, Greece.

He has run non-stop, a distance of more than 250 miles between Nagoya and Kanazawa, Japan and in 1998 successfully completed the Westfield Run, 620 miles between Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. In 2001 he was the first Swede to row Across the Atlantic in 2001.

Rune served with the United Nations peace keeping forces in Egypt in the late 1970's. Rune is also an author and lecturer on the mental barriers of the human mind. He is a popular motivational speaker at large corporations

on demands of safety, reliability and convenience of living onboard a tiny
ocean vessel, going across an ocean.
