In this episode – we talk to Kate Strong, the vegan athlete who has secured three Guinness World Records recently in a gruelling challenge on a static bike. Kate, who is also a champion triathlete, now holds the record for completing the furthest distance on a static bike over 24 hours. She began the challenge at 3pm on May 26 in Bristol, UK. In order to beat the records, she had to cycle over 35.3km in one hour and 348km in 12 hours. We chat to her about her incredible journey as a vegan, an athlete and as a woman.
