IF YOU CAN

Jack Jarvis is attempting something extraordinary: running 13,000 kilometres from Beijing to London, crossing 17 countries along the way.More than 4,000 kilometres into his journey, the adventurer, military veteran and multiple world record holder joins Louis Alexander from Kazakhstan to reveal what life is really like on one of the most ambitious expeditions of his career.And it hasn't exactly gone to plan.His support van was broken into before the expedition even began. Unexpected road closures have added hundreds of kilometres to his route. And an injury just weeks into the challenge left Jack wondering whether he'd have to give up before he'd barely started.In this episode, Jack opens up about the loneliness, physical pain, unexpected setbacks and enormous pressure of attempting something most people wouldn't even consider.But beyond the running, this is a conversation about resilience, dealing with failure, surrounding yourself with the right people and finding the courage to start before you feel ready.I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can. They supported my last adventure across Australia, and this project wouldn’t exist without that belief and trust. It means a lot to have partners who care about the journey, not just the outcome and I’m really proud to have them alongside me on this one.Discover Bob...📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bob_bodywash/📱 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bob_bodywash🖥️ Website: https://welcometobob.com/Join the IF YOU CAN Community...✉️ Email Louis: [email protected]📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifyoucanhq/📱 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ifyoucanhq🖥️ Website: https://www.ifyoucanhq.comProduced by Cold Fries...✉️ Email: [email protected]🖥️ Website: www.coldfries.co.ukWe use Envato Elements for music and fonts.
