It may not appeal but I took up ultramarathons a couple of years ago. On the multi-day ones (e.g. Marathon des Sables) you meet some terrific people with the kind of insanely driven mentality that chewing glass and staring into the abyss demands. They've also typically got a bit of personal runway - so can bare financial risk of a startup.
- drdrey 10y agoThat has to be the most fascinating piece of startup advice I have ever read. Alternatively, you can identify the same set of people without actually running the ultra by looking for people who descend stairs backwards.
- anotherturn 10y agoNot sure if this was your intention, but your comment came off as somewhat snarky - a theme best reserved for reddit. It was not advice - but an observation offered as a data-point. You can indeed meet people that run ultra-marathons without running one by going to meetups, fb group events, etc.
