Episode 20 - Lucy Ashdown Parkes, English Channel Swimmer & ice bin dipper Evolve Pod

    • Health & Fitness

Imagine taking on one of the worlds toughest endurance swims, only to be pulled from the water, dazed and confused, 300m from your finish point after over 18 hours cold water channel swimming.

In this episode, I talk to Lucy about her experience with channel swimming, what made her have another crack at the channel and obliterate her near miss only weeks before. We even bring up the practise of sitting in a wheelie bin filled with ice water in mid winter!

A very cool conversation with Lucy, a day by day teacher who has achieved something absolutely incredible.
