Mark Beaumont chats to Rob Pope about how he broke the world record for cycling around the world – a record which he himself had already broken, but was later taken off him.
Averaging 240 miles a day for 78 days and 14 hours, Mark talks about the challenges he overcame to finish the ride 44 days faster than anyone had before. From battling extreme exhaustion to recovering from illness and injury, to dealing with the loneliness and emotional pressures that come with being at the centre of such a knife-edge attempt, Mark explains how he pushed the limits of his own physical and mental capabilities.
Rob also quizzes Mark about some of his other expeditions – including his infamous Atlantic row that nearly cost him his life – as well as his reasons for taking on such perilous self-propelled journeys around the world.
