Greg & Jason are back doing their own challenges. This is a short pod immediately after the guys just completed the Way of the Roses, a 275km (171 miles), a spectacular coast to coast cycle route which passes through both the red rose county of Lancashire and the white rose county of Yorkshire.

Jason and Greg chat to Gavin Booker, who recently took on and conquered Patagonman. The race is not for beginners. It's a grueling triathlon that takes place in one of the most breathtaking natural settings in the world. Starting in the Aysen Fjord, athletes must swim 3.8 kilometers, cycle 180 kilometers along the famous Carretera Austral, and then run 42.2 kilometers through canyons, next to lakes and waterfalls to General Carrera Lake. Along the way, participants may encounter a variety of wildlife, including sea otters, sea lions, whales, dolphins, foxes, and even pumas. Turns out Gavin also has an interesting back story, which leads to another inspiring story.

Jason and Greg are back interviewing amazing mid life athletes. In this episode we chat to Matthew Forgham, who was part of a team of 6 men shifting 1 million kg of weight in 24 hours. The challenge was to raise awareness and funds for endometriosis, a condition that affects one in ten women, (176 million women globally). Matthew was the only mid life athlete. The challenge involved using free weights (weighted squats, deadlifts, barbell rows and bench press) to move the 1 million kg. The weight is the equivalent of lifting and moving 200 fully grown elephants!

Having seen the benefits of weight training first hand, this challenge has inspired Matthew to create another challenge that inspires other mid life people & athletes to adopt weight training. This podcast is also a call out to listeners to get in touch with ideas that Matthew and the Mid Life Athlete podcast team can turn into an annual challenge.
