In 1994, Forrest Gump took the box-office by storm and became a staple of cable TV reruns in the following decades. Its feel good message about a simple man who lived life heart first struck a chord, but hidden inside a six minute montage was a grueling test of the human limits -- a 15,000 mile ultrarun across the US almost five times. In 2018, Rob Pope became the first to complete this superhuman run, and became fascinated with others who push their limits.

At the start of every month, host Aaron Millar and producer Jason Paton preview what's coming up on Armchair Explorer, play their favorite clips, and reveal the stories they're most excited to share. A cross between a highlight reel, an interview, and two people telling travel tales down the pub, our Pathways episodes are your guide to choosing your adventures with us. MARCH EPISODES ADVENTURE: No Guidebook, No Google, No Clue: Togo, Wallis and Kyrgyzstan with Best-Selling Travel Author Brian Thacker We follow best-selling travel author Brian Thacker on a unique, mad-cap adventure to three of the remotest countries on Earth: Togo, East Africa; Wallis & Futuna, in the South Pacific; and the Central Asian mountains of Kyrgyzstan. Inspired by the intrepid spirit of explorers of old, Brian decided to tear up the guidebook, throw away the phone and turn up to a country knowing absolutely nothing about it in advance. IMMERSION: Homecoming: Chief Joseph's Promise and the Flight of the Nez Perce We go on location to the traditional lands of the Nez Perce, in eastern Oregon, to uncover a piece of history unknown to most outsiders. In the late 19th century, the Wallowa Band of the Nez Perce tribe were driven from their homeland. 200 warriors, protecting hundreds more women and children, fought for five days against 520 US soldiers. Their leader, before surrendering, promised his people that one day they would come home. After nearly 200 years, his promise may just be starting to come true. BUCKET LIST: Whale Watching in Victoria, B.C. We go to the southern tip of Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada for a bucket list adventure spotting humpback and orca whales. Victoria is one of the best places in North America for whale watching and Nik Coutino, a local guide and expert, shares his best experiences, all set to immersive music and sound design. ADVENTURE: Becoming Forrest with Ultra Runner Rob Pope 15,600 miles, 422 days, and 2 boxes of chocolates, Rob Pope tells the story of his epic journey retracing the exact run that Forrest Gump did in the movie. It's a really fun story, Rob is a hilarious guy, but it's also incredibly inspiring. Before she passed away Rob's mum told him to do one thing in his life that truly makes a difference, and boy did he do it. Rob is also the host of the Red Bull podcast How to be Superhuman – we shared the first episode of their 3rd series last month. If you missed it, check it out.

"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run." - Forrest Gump I'm extremely excited to welcome Rob Pope, the real life Forrest Gump, to this week's show! Over the last few years, Rob has taken on the EPIC challenge of recreating Forrest Gump's famous run. Over 15,000 miles across the United States 5 times, he tested the limits of his own endurance and experienced the U.S. to the absolute fullest. Over his year and a half adventure he experienced highs and lows, received major support from strangers along the way, and ran through some of the most iconic places in the country. The human connections he made, along with the places he explored were life changing. Completing the challenge was absolutely unprecedented. Today's episode is all about this INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE. Rob shares how one of his last conversations with his mother about "Doing one thing that makes a difference in this world" inspired this challenge. He also chats about the adventures he had along the way, along with the obstacles he had to overcome (including a torn quadricep..yikes!). We also talk a lot about one of my favorite subjects....Tom Hanks! Please check out Rob's website. He would love your help supporting two excellent charities- Peace Direct and World Wildlife Fund. Enjoy!!

Today's guests are more than just bandmates. Friends since the first grade -- with matching tattoos to boot -- being founding members of the influential Kansas collective The Get Up Kids has taken Rob Pope and Jim Suptic (along with Matt Pryor and Rob's brother Ryan) to seemingly every corner of the world since their 1995 formation. This year marks the 25th anniversary of their breakthrough sophomore LP Something to Write Home About — an album layered in lovelorn distance and declarations of proving oneself. Back then, Jim and Rob say that getting the album out was a frustrating practice in learning who to trust; at the moment, currently on tour playing the album in full, the pair look at the release as a "coming-of-age" album, one that inspired and launched thousands of bands itself through its heroic melodies and relatable points of view. Recorded backstage at the legendary Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, Jim and Rob discuss the two-sided coin of nostalgia, what inspires them about each other, and why maple syrup isn't always a positive smell. The band's 2LP Something to Write Home About reissue, complete with demos and previously unheard material, is available now via digital platforms, and physically on September 20th. Tour dates and more can be found at thegetupkids.com.

The remarkable true story of an unrivalled journey to recreate the greatest run in film history: 15,621 miles, five-times across the United States. 'Rob Pope has made his name revelling in challenges that range from the unconventional to the extraordinary.' BBC News Becoming Forrest is the incredible story of Englishman Rob Pope, a veterinarian who left his job in pursuit of a dream - to become the first person ever to complete the epic run undertaken by one of Hollywood's most beloved characters, Forrest Gump. After his momma urged him "to do one thing in life that made a difference", he flew to Alabama, put on his running shoes, and sped off into the wilderness. His remarkable journey covered 15,600 miles, the distance from the North to the South Pole and a third of the way back. Over a grueling 18 months, braving injuries, blizzards, forest fires and deadly wildlife, he crossed the United States five times. During one of the most turbulent periods in recent American history, Rob immersed himself in American life. His time on the open road saw him forever changed, trying to make that difference, in the process of Becoming Forrest. This is a tale of one man who just wanted to make a difference.

Pope watched it and thought: could that be possible? . Like Gump, Pope also experienced what it was like to drift through America when history rears its ugly head. . He brightens people's day. Pope is serious about running, but, just like Gump, he doesn't overthink it. Why should someone run? 'Because you want to,' he says."-The Observer "'A stirring chronicle . What quickly becomes striking - on top of the extreme distance of his runs, often 'forty miles every day without rest' - is Pope's innate curiosity and fascination with the world around him. . This is sure to inspire distance runners as well as those interested in a hearty slice of Americana."- Publishers Weekly starred review
Did you know Alex was doing a podcast? No, not this one. There's another. It's called "The Millennial's Guide To Being Okay", and it features her and Dana telling you how to be okay. Here's one way to not be okay: run 15,000 miles without years of training beforehand. Rob was smart enough to put in some light exercise such as ultra-marathons first, so he could do it no problem. Plus he got a book out of the experience. It's called Becoming Forrest, because he retraced Forrest Gump's steps across the country. Turns out it's not as easy as the movie makes it sound.Becoming Forrest: The extraordinary true story of one man's epic run across America Learn more about your ad choices.

Rob Pope – Guinness fuelled man runs width of Ireland in a day...with TRE's Hannah Murray
On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with marathoner and Tracksmith Marketing Manager, Drew Hartman. Growing up it was all about soccer for Drew. It was only when he realized he couldn't live out his childhood dream that running took center stage. Now he's tackling his personal goal of running 10 marathons before his 30th birthday, and using his role with Tracksmith to help grow communities and provide positive experiences wherever he can.

135 miles, 215 kilometres, 23 hours and 58 minutes from the Spanish Arch to the Samuel Beckett Bridge-it's all in a days work for Rob Pope aka @run.robla.run on Instagram. The runner has recently completed an epic run across the entire width of Ireland in less than 24 hours, and marked the occasion with a pint at either end! Rob joined Dermot and Dave to chat about his unique training programme, the incredible support he received along the way, and the very Irish soundtrack to his journey!
Rob Pope is one of Britain's best known ultrarunners - the term used for those who find their fun beyond the marathon distance. He's not too bad as a marathon runner either, Rob became the Australian Marathon Champion at the Australian Marathon Championships in 2015, won the Liverpool Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in 2015 and 2016, where he ran a personal best of 2:27:13.

Rob Pope is an ultra endurance runner and an author. For 20 years, Forrest Gump's famous route across America 5 times has stood as pure fiction. Not only had no one completed it, but many runners claimed it would be physically impossible and that the punishing 15,000 miles would claim any athlete who attempted it. Then Rob came along. Expect to learn why Rob committed to one of the toughest races of all time, how Twixes and Gas Station Sandwiches fuelled his performance, why he got chased down by a neo-Nazi, how it feels to watch a lorry jackknife in front of you as you're running toward it, the most brutal and most beautiful conditions Rob ran in and much more...

Cyber security attacks cost the country $3 million in the first three months of this year. Government cyber security agency CERT NZ has today released its latest quarterly report. It shows that more than 1400 incidents were reported in just those three months. Agency director Rob Pope spoke to Susie Ferguson.
Ultrarunning legend Rob Pope returns with more stories from the limits of human endurance. Don't miss season two of How to be Superhuman – coming 12th April 2021.
The number of cyber security attacks being reported in New Zealand is on the rise, with nearly $17 million lost over the past year as a result. The data comes from CERT NZ's annual summary for 2020, which has been released today. The agency received nearly 8000 reports of cyber security breaches last year, a 65 percent increase on the year before. Phishing scams and credential harvesting - where an attacker collects personal data - was the most reported form of attack. The Director of CERT, Rob Pope, spoke with reporter Harry Lock.
As more and more people are opening their computer at home instead of entering an office, security risks are also opening up. Working from home in 2020, and certainly in 2021, has placed a renewed focus on cyber security. Multiple authorities have warned that the increased at-home work activity demands extra caution. CERT NZ director Rob Pope spoke to Te Aniwa Hurihanganui.

Our season three premiere profiles individuals who traveled great distances in very unusual ways. Host Wil Fulton has the story of the wildest reality show you've definitely never heard of: a cross country lawnmower race that put its contestants' fate in the hands of complete strangers and tested the generosity of Americans. Comedian Tony Hawks details his adventures hitchhiking around Ireland with a mini-fridge (including how he got laid in a dog house… thanks in large part to the fridge). Doug and Arne, who hold the current "Cannonball Run" record, detail how they drove from New York City to Los Angeles in just over 25 hours without getting pulled over. And to start things off, Wil conducts an interview while jogging with Rob Pope, an English veterinarian who ran across the country several times in tribute to his favorite American movie (hint: Tom Hanks).

In this extra special episode, Scottish cyclist Jenny Graham chatted to Rob Pope about how she broke the female world record for cycling around the globe – unsupported – in 2018, smashing Italian Paola Gianotti’s four-year record by an extraordinary 20 days. Recorded and streamed live during Red Bull Timelaps – the world’s longest one-day cycling event, which challenges riders to accumulate as much distance as possible within 25 hours – Jenny’s story of cycling 18,000 miles, through 16 countries, completely self-supported, served as much-needed inspiration to event participants – and will to any budding endurance cyclists.Averaging more than 156 miles a day for 124 days, Jenny gives a thrilling account of her extraordinary journey. From being greeted by beautiful blinding sunrises after long nights of riding, to experiencing new magical cultures and ways of life, to the many incredible and unforgettable interactions she had with those she met on her journey, Jenny describes the gratitude she felt every day as she made her way around the globe, powered by her own steam. But, as Jenny describes, it wasn’t without its challenges: freezing temperatures, deadly wildlife, illness, and overwhelming exhaustion made for some truly testing days, which saw Jenny pushed to the very edge of her physical and mental limits…Listen to all episodes and discover more about How to Be Superhuman at http://redbull.com/superhuman
Today we ask what’s going to happen next? What should we all look out for as, when or if things return to whatever normal looks like post-covid. To help answer the question, we asked James Toller and Rob Pope of Mallory Group to give us some clues. Rob, James and Ross Collett of Roco Communications have pooled their knowledge working both in Europe, the USA and Asia and have written a white paper under the heading of There's a New Normal Coming for Sports Rights Holders - Are You Ready? which is available free via Mallory Group’s website. So we use this as a starting point for a conversation which is I think relevant to everyone who touches sport, from top to bottom.

Paralympic hand cyclist Karen Darke was just 21 when she set off on a climbing trip that would change her life forever. Leading a climb on a sea cliff outside Aberdeen, she fell as the last bit of secured protection came away. Three days later, she woke up in intensive care to the news she’d broken her neck and back, paralysing her from the waist down.In this episode, Rob Pope chats to Karen about her climbing accident and the achievements that followed it – from hand cycling across the Himalayas on a specially made tandem and spending a month in minus 30°C temperatures crossing Greenland on skies, to the highs and lows of Paralympic training, and a punishing schedule that took her to London and Rio...Karen also reveals how she was forced to confront her fears and past trauma head-on when she agreed to climb the revered and unforgiving sheer granite behemoth of El Capitan in Yosemite, California. Twenty metres up and petrified, Karen shares the mental process she used to overcome her fear and take control of her mind, as she physically took on the equivalent of 4,000 pull-ups to scale the kilometre-high sheer granite rock face.Listen to all episodes and discover more about How to Be Superhuman at http://redbull.com/superhuman
Boundary-pushing big wall climber, Sasha DiGiulian, holds multiple first ascents and more than 30 female firsts for some of the world’s most revered and difficult big wall climbs. In this episode, Rob Pope chats to Sasha about her journey from six-year-old indoor climber to world-renowned pro and free soloist - touching on her historic ascent of the Rocky Mountains Trilogy as the first woman (and only second person ever) to complete the trio of climbs in one season.From unexpectedly having to free solo one of her earliest big wall first-ascents as the holds crumbled away in her hands 1,000ft up without any protection, to experiencing the exhilaration of climbing in a flow state whilst conquering the 5.14-grade Rocky Mountains Trilogy in 2018, Sasha chats about the risks and rewards that come with climbing when the ground is way beneath her feet.She describes the moment she thought she was paralysed, and reveals the method she sometimes uses when she’s feeling scared of falling mid-climb by discussing her relationship with fear.“Even after 20 years of climbing, I don’t think fear ever goes away.” Listen to all episodes and discover more about How to Be Superhuman at http://redbull.com/superhuman
Gabriel Cordell became the first person to roll across the United States in a standard wheelchair - giving Rob Pope a lot to chat about with him as they shared tales of their incredible journeys travelling the width of North America.Supported by a team of volunteers, the 3,100-mile journey from California to New York took 100 days to complete, and saw Gabriel pushing his chair for an average of 30 miles a day.In the episode, Gabriel lays bare just how torturous this journey this really was, describing everything from the savage terrain he faced in Pennsylvania, as he rolled for 450 miles across the Appalachian Mountains (losing 15 pounds along the way), to the agonising shoulder pain he experienced as he reached mile 650, leaving him temporarily unable to roll his chair another metre.But, as he reveals to Rob in the episode, it was such a willingness to withstand pain that saw him reach the finish line in his hometown of West Hempstead – and something, he says, we are all capable of. The difference, he says, in somebody accomplishing something extraordinary or not, is simply about overcoming the 'threshold...'Gabriel also reveals the series of life events that later culminated in him seeking redemption through this Herculean physical and mental challenge – a journey that began 20 years previous when a car accident changed the course of his life forever.Listen to all episodes and discover more about How to Be Superhuman at http://redbull.com/superhuman
Rob Pope catches up with British adventurer Anna McNuff, who ran 2,352 miles completely barefoot across Great Britain. That's the equivalent of 90 marathons over everything from gritty tarmac to muddy moorland."By the end, the last two weeks, I was just a shell of a woman. I just wasn’t even there. I was going through all the motions but mentally I was gone..." reveals Anna, as she explains to Rob the mental toil she was feeling as she approached the London finish line -- having travelled all the way from the Shetland Islands.From how she coped mentally with such a long (and often painful) journey, to how her body also learned to adapt to the relentless stress and exposure, Anna gives an epic insight into the workings of her mind and body as she pushed them to their limits.Anna also reveals what went into preparing for the challenge – namely, the one-and-a-half years she spent learning to run barefoot – as well as her motivations for doing it. And she reveals some of the unforgettable moments and encounters she had along the way that made all the hard graft worthwhile -- including one particular 24-mile run that she enjoyed with one giant, and very inspirational, lobster...Read more about Anna and her adventure at https://win.gs/BarefootBritainListen to all episodes and discover more about How to Be Superhuman at http://redbull.com/superhuman
Tim Don was out for routine training ahead of the Kona IRONMAN World Championship when he had an accident with a truck - breaking his neck and leaving him with carbon fibre ring drilled into his skull (known as a 'halo') to help the fracture heal.Just six months and five days later he completed the Boston Marathon in less than two hours and 50 minutes.Rob Pope asks this extraordinary Superhuman about his brilliant career leading up to that horrific incident in Hawaii which led him to becoming a world record holder; what he remembers of the incident and how he recovered from the 'hangman's fracture' and not being able to move from his belly button up.From having to sleep bolt upright in a chair, to having the screws in his skull regularly tightened to keep the halo place, Tim lays bare the torture he went through in what he describes as "the toughest two months of my life".But through sheer dogged perseverance, Tim explains to Rob how he refused to let the accident – or his agonising brace – put his hopes of competing again on hold: continuing to train in the gym, and later on the turbo trainer, to gradually build up his strength and fitness. And as he reveals in the episode, his training and tenacity didn't just pay off. It led to a comeback of epic proportions...Also watch the Red Bull TV documentary on Tim 'The Man with the Halo' http://win.gs/ManWithTheHaloListen to all episodes and discover more about How to Be Superhuman at http://redbull.com/superhuman

Rob Pope speaks to trials bike legend and Red Bull athlete Dougie Lampkin about his record-breaking 37-mile wheelie around the Island of Man's TT course. The feat, which Dougie took months of painstaking preparation and saw Dougie pushed to the very limits of his physical and mental capacity.Chatting to Rob about what exactly went into making it happen, Dougie opens up about the many setbacks he endured on his journey to the start line – and how, at one point, he even pulled the plug on the project completely, as he began to believe he had taken on the impossible.He also reveals the overwhelming pressure he experienced on the day itself, when swarmed by film crews and spectators – and haunted by the underlying knowledge that, with one small slip, the project would be over.And as Dougie relives the course, section by section, with Rob – from riding over the Snaefell mountain road amid volatile winds, to the crippling pain he felt in his back and legs as he attempted to maintain control of the bike going into the home-straight – the knife-edge nature of this never-before-done feat becomes eye-wateringly clear...Watch the Red Bull TV documentary 'Wheelie Man' at https://win.gs/WheelieManListen to all episodes and discover more about How to Be Superhuman at http://redbull.com/superhuman
Fell runner Jasmin Paris made headlines when she became the first woman to win the gruelling 268-mile Montane Spine Race outright. Dubbed ‘Britain’s most brutal’ running event, it takes place in the depths of winter and sees competitors running the entire length of the Pennine Way – mostly in pitch black darkness.In this episode, Rob Pope chats to Jasmin about what it took to finish the race in 83h 12m 23s – 12 hours faster than anyone of either sex had before. From tactically deciding when – and how much – to sleep, to ensure she stayed ahead of the pack, to how, mentally, she coped with the very, long and difficult sections of this desperately lonely race.Still breastfeeding her 14-month-old daughter, Rowan, at the time, Jasmin also touches on the logistics of having to express breastmilk at the race's various checkpoints along the way but, describes how, despite the media attention this gained at the time, "it really wasn't such a big deal".Jasmin also provides her view on why women are more competitive with the men when it comes to ultra-distance running – but explains why she, personally, doesn't see herself as 'superhuman'.Listen to all episodes and discover more about How to Be Superhuman at http://redbull.com/superhuman

Sa maman lui a dit un jour « Dans la vie tu dois faire quelque chose de différent » Et vous allez rapidement vous rendre compte que sa maman peut être fière de lui puisqu’il est unique. J’ai passé une soirée incroyable lors de ma rencontre avec Rob Pope qui m’a si gentiment été présenté par Jo qui travaille pour Garmin. Rob Pope, est anglais, habite à Manchester où il est vétérinaire, est marié et est l’heureux papa d’une petite fille. Alors qu’iil était parti d’Angleterre quelques temps pour l’Australie, il s’est rendu compte qu’il n’était pas heureux dans la vie, pas satisfait avec son travail, et c’est à ce moment qu’il a eu l’idée de reprendre la parcours de Forest Gump, juste pour se retrouver avec lui même, sans musique et écouter la nature, et pour faire honneur à sa maman. Entre le moment où il a décidé de faire le parcours de Foret Gump et le moment où il s’est élancé dans ce périple, il s’est passé plus de 15 ans. Rob incarne Forest, que cela soit physiquement mais aussi dans sa manière d’être tous les jours. c’est assez perturbant je dois bien le reconnaître. Après avoir rencontré Rob, je me suis sincèrement posé la question à savoir qui inspirait qui ? Ce qui était pour lui au départ une simple envie personnelle est devenu désormais une manière d'alarmer sur l'environnement. J’ai eu cette conversation il y a quelques semaines à Paris lors du passage de Rob qui était au départ du Semi-Marathon. Je ne vous fait pas plus attendre et laisse place à mon invité du jour Rob Pope. Arnaud Manzanini Athlète Ultra Distance

"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run." - Forrest Gump I'm extremely excited to welcome Rob Pope, the real life Forrest Gump, to this week's show! Over the last few years, Rob has taken on the EPIC challenge of recreating Forrest Gump's famous run. Over 15,000 miles across the United States 5 times, he tested the limits of his own endurance and experienced the U.S. to the absolute fullest. Over his year and a half adventure he experienced highs and lows, received major support from strangers along the way, and ran through some of the most iconic places in the country. The human connections he made, along with the places he explored were life changing. Completing the challenge was absolutely unprecedented. Today's episode is all about this INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE. Rob shares how one of his last conversations with his mother about "Doing one thing that makes a difference in this world" inspired this challenge. He also chats about the adventures he had along the way, along with the obstacles he had to overcome (including a torn quadricep..yikes!). We also talk a lot about one of my favorite subjects....Tom Hanks! Please check out Rob's website. He would love your help supporting two excellent charities- Peace Direct and World Wildlife Fund.
