Descripción

In this episode, I sit down with Lyn to talk about how a simple, practical decision to start running turned into a journey through some of the world’s toughest endurance challenges. What started as a way to fit exercise around the unpredictable demands of investment banking gradually evolved into completing the six World Marathon Majors, an Ironman, and the Marathon des Sables—a 250km self-sufficient race across the Sahara Desert. But what stands out most in this conversation isn’t the scale of the achievements, it’s the mindset behind them.

“Step by Step: Walking the Length of the UK with Luke Harrison”

In this episode, I sit down with Luke Harrison to talk about his incredible journey walking LEJOG — from Land’s End to John O’Groats. We get into what it really takes to complete a challenge like this — the long days, the mental battles, and the moments that make it all worthwhile. It’s easy to look at something like LEJOG and see it as one big achievement, but chatting to Luke, it’s clear it’s about so much more than that. I loved hearing about the highs, the lows, and everything in between — from tough conditions to the unexpected kindness you find along the way. If you’ve ever thought about taking on a big challenge, or you just enjoy hearing real stories from real people pushing themselves, this one’s definitely for you.
