  • Cycling 906km in 25 hours with diabetes - George Kirkpatrick

    Cycling 906km in 25 hours with diabetes - George Kirkpatrick
    Jun 13 2023

    Competitive endurance sports are some of the most physically and mentally challenging events you can experience. Adding diabetes into the mix adds another level altogether, with serious consequences if you get it wrong. 

    Despite this George has thrived, winning the 25 hour Red Bull Timelaps cycling race twice, in triathlon representing Great Britain at the full Ironman distance, as well as a number of other ultra events. 

    An outstanding example for other diabetics as well as some key takeaways on training, wanting it, and the mindset needed to crush your competitors over 900km. "Winning is a choice".


    Note: Unfortunately a sound failure reduced the quality of the second half of the recording. Hang in there, George's story is well worth it.

    World's toughest row - Miriam Payne
    Apr 25 2023

    What it takes to row 4,800km across the Atlantic, alone, breaking the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge race record for the fastest female. If you ever needed an eye opener as to what is possible if you put your mind to it, look no further!

    We go into how Miriam got herself into this situation, the training and preparation required and what it takes to survive for 59 days at sea by yourself, battling unexpected sea creatures and the elements day in day out.
