In 2022, Jack climbed an astonishing million vertical metres on his bike, including 52 Everestings, as part of his Million Metres Challenge. That’s a crazy average of over 19,000m of climb each and every week!
It was his latest in a series of incredible endurance achievements, which we cover in the episode.

His upbringing, family and struggles with his mental health
His first big challenge, the Transcontinental in Europe
Subsequent challenges, including the Taiwan KOM, setting a world record for kilometres ridden in a week and riding the Tour De France course in just 10 days
The importance of fundraising and the challenges of creating a compelling narrative
