Ep.2 - The man, the myth, the legend - Ollie Mitchell on travelling, Land’s end to John o’ Groats and an Ironman

Motley Matters

For some reason I’ve finally let him on the pod! Today I’m joined by Mitch for a seriously entertaining pod. Mitch and I have known each other a long time now and have been lucky enough to do some pretty cool things together! We take a look back at some of the best stories from our time travelling, embarrassing moments, points of insanity and how we somehow came out of it all still as good mates. Ollie also goes into detail on the challenges he faced while cycling from Lands End to John o’ Groats for charity - a mammoth task, we talk about the highs and lows and then dive into how on earth he ended up competing in arguably the most challenging endurance race on the planet - an Ironman. Fuelled on a diet of cigarettes and a cheeky meal deal from the petrol station we have to ask how the hell he thought he could pull it off and just how daunting was it staring down the barrel of a 3.9km swim, 180 km bike ride and of course a casual marathon to finish it all off. Enjoy, this ones a cracker!
