This week on the Any Given Runday podcast we are joined by Fergal Guihen (@Rossie_to_Aussie on Instagram), who is 11 months into a 23,000-kilometre cycling journey from Roscommon to the Sydney Opera House, Australia, raising over €50,000 so far for Northwest Stop Suicide Prevention and Mayo Roscommon Hospice. From overcoming a torn ACL 6 months before taking off to pedalling through the Alps, sandstorms, desert heat and the Tibetan Plateau with temperatures reaching as low as minus 22 degrees! Fergal shares captivating stories of endurance, cultural encounters, bike mishaps and acts of kindness. 13:34 Meet Fergal Guihen15:17 From GAA to Endurance Sports18:46 The Turning Point: Injury and Determination23:50 Setting Off: The First Steps of the Journey27:42 Survival and Equipment Essentials31:41 Cultural Experiences and Unexpected Kindness42:17 Navigating Borders and Facing Fears44:32 A Harrowing Encounter in Iran48:01 Experiences in Afghanistan39:21 Family Concerns and Support50:58 Mental and Physical Challenges56:59 Coping with Loss and Continuing the Journey58:45 The Toughest Leg: China64:16 Planning the Route to AustraliaYou can follow Fergal's journey on his incredible Instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/rossie_to_aussie/As well as donate towards his charities:https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/Rossie-to-AussieYou can follow us on Instagram:@anygivenrundaypodcastThis episode is sponsored by ULTRAPURE Laboratories and their Ultrapure Sports Recovery prducts.
