Pavel Cenkl is a climate writer, ultrarunner, and Dean of Academics at Prescott College who has run hundreds of miles across Iceland, Scandinavia, and the Arctic through his project Climate Run. He grew up in the White Mountains, worked the AMC huts, started one of the first collegiate trail running teams in the U.S., and built a master’s program combining movement, environmental philosophy, and ecology.
In this conversation, Zoë and Brendan talk with Pavel about what happens when you push yourself to the edge of exhaustion in landscapes that are literally shifting beneath your feet. They dig into disappearing glaciers, the vulnerability of running alone under the midnight sun, why “resilience over resistance” might be the better framework for running and life, and the moment he screamed so loud during his Iceland crossing that he scared a goose into flight and accidentally triggered a paradigm shift.
