This journey around the world is the culmination of everything I have practiced and built in the past twenty years. I believe that it’s possible to get around the world in 80 days by manpower, but this is a leap in performance and a step into the unknown.

Welcome to the Endurance podcast

Endurance is primarily a sports and adventure podcast.  Mark is joined on many of the episodes by friend and performance manager Laura Penhaul. These conversations were started as a research project for the book ‘Endurance’ published by Global Cycling Network – so you can find many of these conversations written up in the ‘Wise Words’ sections of the book. The Endurance podcast is focussed on meeting the sports scientists, the support staff, the researchers, the entrepreneurs – the people you will rarely have heard of – but who are the experts at supporting endurance athletes and are at the forefront of endurance sports.  Laura has been a physiotherapist at 4 Paralympic & Olympic Games, led the first female crew to row the Pacific Ocean and lead the Performance team for the ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ race. Young or old, female or male – endurance is the greater leveller in sport. We are all endurance athletes at heart – we can all go further.

The Endurance podcast is supported by NuZest and also Komoot, both brands that Mark uses in his everyday life.

Welcome to the Impact podcast

Impact is primarily a business and enterprise podcast. Through Mark’s career as an athlete, broadcaster, business advisor and investor he has met a huge amount of people, from all walks of life.  There are so many private conversations worth making public, putting a spotlight on people and organisations that have a pioneering spirit, and are motivated to make positive change. Having a catalogue of these conversations appeals, so we can look back in years to come and see what these ambitions have gone on to become. The Impact podcast is supported by Eos Advisory, who back early-stage innovation in science, engineering and technology, mainly in Scotland, businesses that are answering some of the worlds big questions around healthcare, renewables, food and water security and climate change.
