Most people wouldn’t even attempt rowing around the UK.

Mike Ellicock did it.

In this episode, we break down what it really takes to push through extreme endurance challenges, from rowing around Britain to chasing marathon records and now stepping into HYROX.

This is a conversation about real performance, not theory.

We get into mindset, resilience, fuelling, and what separates those who keep going from those who stop when it gets tough.
