In this episode of Human Endurance, we catch up with Paul Robinson a guest we had on last year. Paul is an extraordinary athlete who recently completed the world's hardest triathlon, the Arch to Arc. The race involves running 87 miles from London to Dover, swimming across the English Channel, and cycling 181 miles to Paris. Paul not only finished but also set a new men's non-wetsuit course record. Tune in as Paul shares his race experience and how he managed to physically and push through. Paul also reflects on raising £13,000 for motor neuron disease (MND) research and discusses his future athletic pursuits.
