Ultracycling phenomenon Lael Wilcox seems to have no limits when it comes to adventures on two wheels. Her record-breaking ride around the world in 108 days is a true testament to endurance, resilience, the power of community and a positive mindset. Faced with unexpected challenges – from food poisoning and poison ivy to navigating remote roads in gruelling conditions – Lael pushed through both physical and mental barriers, setting a new benchmark for the fastest woman to cycle around the planet. Along the way, she found strength in human connection, drawing inspiration and support that kept her pedalling through even the toughest moments.

In this episode, I talk to Lael about the highs and lows of her world record attempt, the lessons she learned from adversity, and how community plays a vital role in testing the limits of human endurance. With her contagious energy and unshakable optimism, we explore what it takes to keep going day after day, and how cycling became more than a sport – it became a life-changing adventure.
