Adventure Racing Deep Dive with Ian Furlong 🏃🏼‍♂️🚴🏼‍♂️🛶

In this episode, we dive into the world of adventure racing with Ian Furlong. Ian talks us through one of his most recent 3-day, 450km race in Scotland - complete with sleep deprivation, rough navigation patches, a food-less paddle on Loch Ness, and the teamwork that carried them to a 2nd-place finish. We explore what draws Ian to adventure racing, how he trains to stay injury-free across multiple disciplines, and the mental strategies that help him break huge challenges down to make them feel more manageable. Ian shares some great practical advice for anyone curious about getting started in adventure racing, from short beginner events to multi-day races. For more info on next years ITERA-lite adventure race (17th-21st July) visit: https://itera.co.uk/To watch the BBC documentary of the 2025 ITERA Scotland event, visit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002hrzkIan’s own videos Faroe isles 2023https://youtu.be/yrk2NdZ94VY?si=E8KG4nUuthwDBGbBItera Scotland 2022https://youtu.be/mbrJuY4Y9Mk?si=_fzNLIbp26cqYG8uSend us Fan MailThis episode is sponsored by Empowered2. Most businesses significantly underinvest in leadership development.Leadership development should be bespoke and appropriate for the needs of your business, adding value by improving the performance of everyone involved with immediately deployable tools and techniques.Jon helps organisations serious about creating high performing leaders and organisations to create meaningful, memorable and lasting leadership legacy. Support the show
