Japanese runner Mitsuo Moriya has completed some of the world's most gruelling trails. Now he plans to run two ultra marathons, back to back, in one of Australia's toughest outback events, the West Macs Monster trail running festival next weekend.
Mr Moriya will run the entire 231km Larapinta Trail through Central Australia's spectacular West MacDonnell Ranges, the race known as the Sonder Monster, then head straight back to the starting line to tackle the 65km Standley Monster.
