Now I said this podcast wouldn't all be about elite athletes - but actually this episode is!
Saying that I think everyone will find what Leigh has to say interesting and relevant whether you are a high level sports person or someone like me who certainly is not.
Leigh cycled into the record books in 2018 to become the fastest person to ride across Europe. His journey took him from the west coast of Portugal to the edge of Siberia. He worked with a team of scientists who helped him innovate new techniques in endurance cycling. And as a result he broke the previous world record by a just little over eight days.
That wasn't his only physical achievement. He also cycled around the world on his own, taking 7 years to travel through 51 countries all while living in £5 a day!
These physical feats started his journey of personal transformation. Leigh says he's always had strong legs to escape a troubled mind. Having suffered from depression in his mid 20s, he now campaigns for better awareness on mental health issues by drawing on his own experiences and is also an ambassador for the MQ Transforming Mental Health charity.
Leigh is a great storyteller, fun, engaging and uplifting. I hope you enjoy listening to our chat as much as I did interviewing him.
