Description

If you ever need a lesson on grit and determination then this is it. This week Sam and I walked to Alex Mathew. A friend of mine for a few years now (since meeting on Instagram!) Alex has been on quite the journey. I mean, what type of person does it take to beat the "lazy Alex" in their head only to have a heart attack whilst out running and then, once again, change their mindset from doing the minimum possible to doing the maximum allowable! And that's where we find Alex. A heart attack and 2 ultramarathons down (one of them the 4 x 4 x 48 David Goggins challenge) and now looking for new challenges because of his knee!! These are the type of people we love talking to and these are the people that redefine what is possible for us all. No excuses for us now!

3 mates and Team GB AG triathletes/runners looking to broaden their horizons and take all of our training to the next level. In an informal setting Ben, George & Sam aim to talk with some of the most interesting triathletes, runners, coaches, psychologists and anyone they think can offer a nugget of learning for us all. Some weeks it might not even be about sport but there are always lessons and we're always reminded Ben is old. At the end of the day we all just want to be fitness freaks. We go where the conversation leads us!
