In 2018 Ian was struggling. His relationship was failing, his business was failing and at 27.5 stone (174kg, 385 lbs) his mental and physical health was failing. As he saw it, he was a failure. Fuelled by alcohol and drugs he attempted to take his own life. Thankfully, he was unsuccessful. Today, Ian has a new vice. Triathlon.

This is the story of how Ian, a 37-year-old man from the UK went from death’s door to being in the best shape of his life - across all areas of his life.

In this episode, Ian reveals how he went from a life full of excess and excuses to being a determined athlete about to take on his biggest challenge yet. An Iron Man.
