How do you ride 4,750km around France and set a world record without falling into the trap of needless suffering? Guest Samuel Thompson shares his experiences doing just that. Listen if: you’re curious about ultra-cycling, want smarter strategies for big goals, or just love a good pastry-fueled adventure. Key takeaways: Routine beats heroics: Consistency in sleep, riding hours, and food is more sustainable than “one more push” Prep trumps panic: Plan your route, resupply, and logistics ahead so you can actually enjoy the ride Gratitude shifts the game: Remembering you get to do this makes even the hard moments lighter Food is strategy: Sometimes 19 ice creams and 4 croissants in a day is exactly the fuel you need.
