Last Saturday on my radio show I interviewed the very inspirational (but slightly crazy) Craig Gordon.
Craig has just won the World Mountain Bike Championship – 24 hour solo… that’s right he rode his bike through some of the toughest terrain imaginable for 24 hours to flog the previous world champ (we love that)… and nearly kill himself in the process (we don’t love that).
He pushed his body so hard that it started to go into muscle meltdown.
Simply put, Craig’s bloodstream was so full of muscle breakdown products that he almost poisoned his kidneys.
He spent three days in hospital on dialysis and is a very lucky boy to still be here.
Listen to the fascinating interview here.
