The Talk
Sanjay Rawal is a documentary filmmaker, student of the legendary Sri Chinmoy, and a lifelong runner. In this week’s conversation, we talk about his latest film 3100: Run and Become, which documents the Self Transcendence run, a 3,100-mile race around the same New York City block.
It is the biggest race in the word and has the least fanfare and no prize. The race starts with a 1-minute meditation & ends 52 days/3,100 miles later. Participants must cover at least 50 miles per day. The most decorated winner doesn’t care about nutrition and has completed the 3,100-mile race 14 times.
In the conversation we talk about what is possible when you’re aligned to a higher power.
