Ross Edgley, the 'fittest' man alive?

[Born Hunter 17,828]

How many of you have heard of him? I remember seeing him once in the Uni library during exams if I'm not mistaken but didn't really know owt about him at the time. Since then he's made a bit of a name for himself by doing some totally mad acts of athleticism and also becoming something of an experts on sports science. He brings to mind Plato's ideal citizen, 'the scholar athlete'.

If I recall right he had women all over him at Uni so I'm sure it's not all swim, lift, eat, sleep. Anyway, ain't his life the same as any other athletes?

I find his drive and attitude interesting as well as the fact he's built like a shithouse and yet chooses to test himself in ultra-endurance pursuits.

ie He doesn't seem to be driven by glory and success like most athletes but by his own curiosity. He pushes himself to extremes and yet seems to have an annoyingly positive attitude and personality. He just strikes me as being a complete paradox! He's an extremist athlete but without the typical extremist athlete attitude, he's way more reasonable and well 'normal'.

I guess no one has heard of him then. 

This is the big c**t,

 

And he's done stuff like,

• Swam around Britain (took him 157 days) and his face started to fall apart in the process
• 'Ran' a marathon pulling a mini countryman in under 20hrs
• Climbed a rope repeatedly for the height of Mt Everest (under 20hrs)

 

 

Anyway, with all the fitness chatter on here thought some of you might have.

If you can’t see the mans accomplishment then I can’t help you.

Maybe he should get on the full fat milk eh, for when he wants to train hard?

And there we go folks. That’s why most conspiracy theorists get treated with contempt. When they can’t shift the topic off facts they quit.

Now then. Let’s leave this topic for what it’s about. Be it flourish or die a death.

I don't need to see his accomplishments, and I don't need help.

Don't care what milk he drinks when he wants to train hard either
