340. Langley Kirkwood on the 55 mile Comrades Marathon and Warrior Season 3

The Sifu Mimi Chan Show - A podcast by Mimi Chan - Tuesdays

The Comrades Marathon is an annual ultramarathon in South Africa of approximately 89 kilometers/55 miles. Langley Kirkwood, known for his role as Buckley on Warrior, just completed this insane feat and I was happy to be able to congratulate him on this accomplishment. Langley discusses the history of the marathon, training and we even talk shoes. I absolutely love shoes! In all seriousness, I am in awe of Langley’s achievements, whether he is doing marathons, triathlons, or portraying one of the most unlikeable characters on TV. Warrior Season 3 premieres Thursday, June 29 on MAX. We talk about the excitement surrounding this season, some of what to expect, but not to worry – there are no spoilers for Warrior in this episode. ‌However, we also tangent to Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse and there is a small spoiler alert for that film. No big surprise, but we both loved the film! I am grateful to have guests like Langley on the show and hope you enjoy the conversation. My favor as usual is to please continue to share this podcast with others. It would mean so much if you also rate it and leave me feedback. ‌If you would like to help keep this podcast going and support the work I do, visit my website or http://Patreon.com/sifumimichan to make a donation.
