Chris Cope: Summer Spine Challenger & Chasing the Double Bob Graham ⛰️⛰️

This week we're joined for the second time by the mighty talented (yet incredibly humble) Chris Cope to look back on his impressive win at the Montane Spine Challenger South, before turning our attention to his exciting upcoming challenge – an attempt at the Double Bob Graham Round. A successful attempt would see Chris become the first person with Type 1 diabetes to complete the double. Chris talks us through his Spine race strategy, training, nutrition and diabetes management, including why he's moved away from traditional carb loading and how he's refined his fuelling to support long days in the mountains.We also discuss recovering quickly from big races, preparing for 48 hours on the fells, and the huge logistical challenge of organising a Double Bob Graham attempt with a team of pacers and supporters.To sponsor Chris' double Bob Graham attempt in aid of Diabetes UK click here with many thanks from Chris, Amie and I in advance for any donations.Code 'CHRIS10' for 10% off at Voom nutrition Send 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
