À propos de cet audio
This week on the Passion Stories podcast, Emma is joined by Dr Sarah Ruggins, who recently smashed the LEJOGLE there and back overall record - cycling from John O’Groats to Land’s End and back again in just 5 days, 11 hours, and 14 minutes.
That’s over 2,700 kilometres with 18,000 metres of elevation. Insane.
Sarah beat the men’s record by 6 hours 43 minutes, which was previously held by James MacDonald, and the women’s record by 4 days 17 hours 40 minutes which was held by Louise Harris. She also raised over £18,000 for the Bike Project and Bikes for Refugees at the same time.
In this conversation, we dive into:
- How she became an endurance cyclist 2.5 years after first picking up a bike
- What drove her to take on the outright record
- How she refined her mindset
- The highs and lows of the challenge (cue delirium and riding in circles)
- What’s next on her radar
- Sarah’s dream dinner party guest list and menu (spoiler: it’s hilarious)
It’s a wild and inspiring episode filled with grit, honesty and plenty of heart.
Follow Sarah on instagram @sarah_ruggins to keep up to date with her next challenge.
