He cycled through chemotherapy. Climbed the height of Everest three times.

Crashed his bike mid-race, snapped his front wheel… and still turned up the next day to run a double marathon.

Then, just two weeks after finishing treatment, he played 90 minutes of football.

This isn’t about motivation.

This is about choosing movement over comfort, and purpose over pain.

It’s about doing hard things, even when nobody's watching.

🎙️ In this episode of The Bits You Don’t See, we dive into:

• How extreme endurance became his way of fighting back

• Recovery, discipline, and how sport saved his mental health

• And the mindset that gets you back up, again and again

Whether you're into fitness, mental resilience, or just raw human stories — this one's going to hit deep.
