As its the first episode of Post Sweat Sizen, I thought it was fitting to interview a very special individual who just became a Guinness World Record Holder and who is a fresh seeker of fucked up challenges, Malin Perera. Malin is a 21 year old young legend who is a beautiful, unique soul with balls of energy. He has recently become a seeker of some pretty serious fucked up challenges, pushing both his physical and mental capacity. We talk about his journey from leaving school to entering the corporate world to becoming a personal trainer and what drives him to hyperfocus on working towards something. We discuss the individual journey he went on throughout 2 of the key challenges he has currently completed. The first being a 24 hour assault bike challenge for Mission Australia and also to break a Guinness World Record. The second challenge was the Melbourne Full Marathon (for those of you who don't know its a 42km run). He walks us through his ‘delusional optimism’ and being present in those moments and gives us an interesting insight into his journey of the ‘post challenge blues’ and his body’s recovery. We can confirm that his next challenge is to complete the Ironman in Cairns Australia in June 2023 which he has just begun training for.
