However, this project titled ’Running Europe Together’ was only part of the puzzle in Jakes series of adventures entitled ‘Way Beyond’ which will eventually lead to a solo crossing of Antarctica. In this conversation Ben and Jake chat about Jake’s reasoning behind this challenge, how injury at one point threatened the project and how the finish line is never really the finish line.

From a swimming background, Chloe Dooley only discovered triathlon two and a half years ago when she entered and won her first event. Since then she has gone from strength to strength, she is the British Aquathlon champion and this year decided to close her season by toeing the line at Ironman Barcalona 70.3.

Going into the event Chloe would have been ecstatic with a top age group finish, but 5K into the run took first place and held on to win her first Ironman Middle distance event. Certainly a name to watch out for in the future.

Will Robinson is an Ultra endurance athlete from Bristol, who has taken on plenty of incredible endurance challenges over the years, including recently running 200 miles around a 480 meter park in Bristol.

During the challenge Will experienced the worst pain he’s ever felt, was deprived of sleep and, as we all do got slightly over excited at the start, meaning that things started to unravel towards the end of the challenge.
 
With that said Wills ‘Why’ kept him moving forward and in completing the challenge he managed to raise enough money for his friend (also) Will to receive a life changing piece of equipment after his life was changed in an accident. That and so much more in this conversation with someone that really wants to inspire YOU to get out of the door.
