CONCEIVE, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE
Three simple words that are my mantra and at the heart of the odyssey.
I am an ordinary person with an everyday life combining extraordinary adventures with full-time work and family life.
Let me take your group on an odyssey: share my dreams, my journey and achievements. Let my experience inspire and motivate you to challenge yourself. I believe there's relevance in my story for everyone. It doesn't matter if you've never run a step, I promise you'll take away something!
A definition of an odyssey is: ‘a long and eventful journey; an intellectual or spiritual quest’.
When I set out to run a marathon and a 100km in Antarctica in 2013 I knew it was going to be a long and eventful journey, in all senses of the word. I also knew it would be a mental challenge, and perhaps a spiritual quest too. The Antarctic Odyssey lived up to the name and was certainly a life-changing experience that I will never forget!

But the odyssey journey did not stop there. I have continued to challenge myself, and grow, taking on new adventures and extremes:
- 2014: altitude and heat in the Atacama
- 2015: the North Pole
- 2017: the 36 degree heat of the Namib Desert followed a week later by -32 in the frozen Mongolian steppe
- The Global Odyssey: complete an extreme 100k challenge on every continent
- A marathon on every continent.
