Join me on my running interview with team GB Rower Olympics Gold Medalist, Greg Searle.

He is a British Olympic rower educated at Hampton School and London South Bank University and is seen as a national treasure here in the UK.
Its mind blowing to think of the training and dedication it takes to win Olympic Gold. Have you ever thought this through?

I don’t know about you, but at the age of twenty I was in nightclubs until the early hours and in no state to focus, let alone put in the hours required, to be an Olympian of any sort.

Just imagine instead, - rewind to your twenties - fighting off other twenty-year old’s to gain a place in a rowing boat, for a chance to represent your country at the Olympics. That was Greg Searle’s path and he did it twenty years later once more, at the age of forty!

I'll hear very swiftly that Greg is a genuinely lovely guy and easy to talk to. Once you get past his good looks and rock hard 6' 4" physique, his charm really wins you over.

He's a natural athlete but training and hard work created the Olympian. Genetics and talent don’t count for anything without the hours, as we all come to understand once we start the journey of physical movement. In my humble opinion, you really have to hand it to him.

I invite you to join in. Download the audio experience and run as we run.

In that spirit, let’s Go!
