What has been your toughest Tribesports Challenge and which are you most proud of?
Running 5k in under 30 minutes. This may seem like a basic challenge to most people, but for me it was a big deal. As a child, teenager and young adult I was asthmatic and could never run. I’ve gone through most of my adult life believing that I was unable to run for any length of distance. Last year my rowing machine broke and in order to get in some cardio I started jogging. I was incredibly slow and no...

On the second of January, we promoted the One Giant Leap for Mankind, One Small Step for Tribesports Challenge. At the time, the team of fitness astronauts had covered just over 40,000km since the Challenge was created on 25th August 2012.

Which Challenge have you found to be the toughest and which are you most proud of?

It was a big challenge to keep going but my abs are an important muscle group for rowing and they need to get stronger. I like abs exercises and continue doing them as much as I can.
You've logged a massive amount of crunches on Tribesports - w...

Ben G is one of our Tribesports users with some truly unique accomplishments; ocean rowing over the Atlantic and more recently taking on the English Channel:
Rowing (or to be more precise sculling – where each rower has 2 oars) in a quad across the English Channel from Dover in the UK to Sangatte in France. It is 36km as the crow flies – with tides we ended up rowing 39km:
It is the busiest shipping lane in the world so it is probably the equivalent of trying to cross the M25 on your bike...
