    Running 8000 Miles From Beijing to London | Jack Jarvis

    Jack Jarvis is a former British soldier and the first person in history to row solo, unsupported from mainland Europe to North America. Over 111 days, Jack covered 4,630 miles alone at sea, facing storms, exhaustion, isolation, and some of the harshest conditions the Atlantic Ocean could throw at him. But this challenge was about more than setting a world-first. It was driven by a deeply personal mission to raise money for brain tumour charity Brainstrust in memory of his grandfather. In this episode, Jack shares what it's like to spend months completely alone, how he coped with fear and uncertainty, and the mindset required to keep moving forward when quitting feels like the easier option. He also talks about his next adventure, running 8000 miles from Beijing to London. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can. They supported my last adventure across Australia, and this project wouldn’t exist without that belief and trust. It means a lot to have partners who care about the journey, not just the outcome and I’m really proud to have them alongside me on this one.

Tom shares powerful insights on pressure, discipline, self-belief, routine and performance, revealing what it takes to deliver when everything is on the line. He explains the “Olympic shift”, the mental standards required at the highest level, and why success means nothing if you lose sight of who you are.
