This week's episode is part 2 of the interview that Rob managed to get with 6x Ironman World Champion Mark Allen! In this second installment, Mark talks about the bigger picture behind his athletic success - his spiritual beliefs and practices. He tells us about his visions of Shamanic teachers in the lava fields of Hawaii - whilst racing side by side with Dave Scott for the win! - and how his spiritual practice went on to develop and deeply effect his racing, as well as his life in general.

(Note - this version has been remixed to remove the strange echo on the original!)
