Ross swims definitely changed my perspective on sport. It's now more about challenging myself doing what I thought was impossible a few years back like triathlons and big sea swims etc. He has that explorer mind we all kinda need if that makes any sense. 👌🏻
A good fun - awe inspiring interview. Well done to you both and as an aussie who loves Byron, great to hear it get a mention and I can confirm the general store is the bomb - though I didn’t know about the owner, I will enjoy it now more consciously knowing that it’s an expression of its owner…
who gives a shit it all comes down to the mind. If you can take some physical enhancements to allow the body to catch up to the mind abit why not???? Some peoples minds are much much stronger then there body.
I dont think some ppl realise how absolutely insane u have to to be... to be an endurance athlete... let alone someone of this caliber.. u have to be messed up in the head/ crazy to do these things... even the ppl who are in elite shape/ train for stuff like this... u atill have to be a oayschooath to do it... and ur gonnabbe pushing through pain, faigute, etc nost of thr time
After watching the Kimberley Chambers’s interview, the edgley balloon has been burst. An amazing achievement for sure but there are others out there pushing the limits a lot more
Kimberley is incredible, but it's not about who's pushing the most, it's that there's incredible people like Kimberley and Ross doing things that no one else is even thinking about.
Cool…You say this was “like” swimming the English Channel 15x, which sounds mighty Impressive. But how many times has Ross actually swum the EC, with or without a wetsuit? No shade on Mr. Edgley’s adventure swims, fascinating to be sure. But can you please refrain from comparing his efforts to those of actual marathon swimmers? The interviewer made the comparison, however, Mr. Edgely did nothing to correct him. These kind of hyperbole denigrates the achievements of actual English Channel swimmers. For those scrolling through the comments, note: On September 17, 2019, one year after completing cancer treatment, American swimmer Sarah Thomas became the first person to swim four consecutive crossings of the English Channel. The swim took her 54 hours 10 minutes to complete. She holds the record for most consecutive EC crossings. She did it according to marathon swimming rules… without a wetsuit. So let’s try to be respectful of other athletes’ achievements. Thanks.
Agree. Love Ross and his crazy adventures, but it's not traditional marathon swimming rules or 'like swimming the English Channel'. Swimming without a wetsuit in cold water is a whole different ballpark. For the record, I've got all of Ross' books and think he is a wonderful storyteller, but let's keep things real.
I believe he would outlast any marathon swimmer when it comes to sheer endurance and adapting to cold water or any extreme conditions. His "crazy adventures" are the ones which put him in a completely different league from a open water swimming perspective. While he hasn't taken on that specific challenge yet, I'm confident that if he set his sights on it, he could achieve it, given everything he's accomplished so far (including his ice swims and other cold-based challenges).
@@TrainingEverydayUntilIDie "I believe ..." "I'm confident ..." ... why are so confident of this? You have two experienced traditional marathon swimmers above you in the comments here, both of whom clearly admire Ross and follow his adventures, but who are telling you that what he does is nothing like crossing the English Channel by fair means. (You can look them both up if you want: their marathon swimming credentials are public knowledge.) There's a reason Ross hasn't tried a traditional coldwater marathon swim like the English Channel: because he hasn't trained and prepared properly for it. If he wants to, I guarantee the global community of traditional marathon swimmers will embrace him with open arms and help him prepare. To date, however, he hasn't shown much interest. It's as simple as a train trip to Dover on a Saturday afternoon.
This is such a strange comment. Saying how big the distance is doesn’t discount other swimmers. It’s just to help people understand. Also He could definitely do the English Channel he’s just focused on other things.
@@hunterwinslow780 Why do you think Ross could "definitely do the English Channel"? Do you think it's just about the distance? For those of us who do cold-water traditional marathon swims, we hear this quip all the time ("that's like X English Channels!"), spoken by or about people who either (1) haven't swum the English Channel (which is about a whole lot more than the distance: for us, the EC is a bit like El Cap for trad rock climbers, or the Eiger Nordwand for alpinists), or (2) who tried, failed, and then trash-talked the swim and other swimmers (Nyad). It's annoying to some of us because Ross seems like a genuinely nice, thoughtful, and enthusiastic guy who does wacky-cool adventures and who cares about both sports history and sports science ... but he's happy to have himself described as an "ultramarathon swimmer" with superhuman physiology and singlular mindset, while conspicuously ignoring the many, many, *many* traditional marathon swimmers who routinely do hard cold swims, without wetsuits or insane weight training or podcast tours or book deals or reveries about the Stoics. An example: marathon swimmers - including the extraordinary Sarah Thomas - often swim long cold routes in Loch Ness without wetsuits. But following the polished social media buildup to Ross's swim, you wouldn't know any of that. For a guy who seems almost giddily curious about nutrition and sports physiology, he seems singularly uncurious about the traditions and cultures of the sport he now seems happy to represent. And the puzzling thing is, if he ever wants to try an actual English Channel crossing, in proper style - or any genuine traditional marathon swim crossing, by fair means - he just has to reach out. Take a train to Dover on a Saturday afternoon, go down to the beach, throw your goggles randomly in any direction, and you'll hit an experienced marathon swimmer. The global community of traditional marathon swimmers will happily embrace Ross and help him any way they/we can.
Wow... so swimming the English Channel one gets a current assist in both directions? AND it's somehow fresh water for swimmers?? So we're 2 minute into this interview, and you're already just making stuff up? 30 seconds into the teaser, Edgley says "No one is actually pushing the boundaries like this"... also patently false. 😴😴
Exactly. Brace yourself for the "He's natty, you're just jealous/try working harder" comments though. Anyone that's spent years in gyms (20 years in my case) can quite easily discern natty from not....and in this case it's glaringly obvious.
I'm inclined to agree Of course his mindset is impressive and he's achieved amazing feats But come on, maintaining that physique and not losing muscle is just impossible without PED use

Love all your interviews, but Ross is a light in a dark tunnel, hope filled, positive and magnetic! Thank you both for a great conversation.
Ross is an absolute legend. Massive inspiration for me and many others. Thank you both for this amazing conversation! 🙏🏾
The interview is not over and I’m already loving this man!!!😊😊
Just the best possible guest! Ross is a truly special human being in every possible well.
Ross swims definitely changed my perspective on sport. It's now more about challenging myself doing what I thought was impossible a few years back like triathlons and big sea swims etc. He has that explorer mind we all kinda need if that makes any sense. 👌🏻
The dude is beyond legit. What a dad ass and super cool to listen to this one. 2 amazing dudes. Thanks. And yes Chris Morgan is also a legend!!!❤
First part of the pod was mind blowing - hats off for the Yukon swim
Good interview. Love Ross’s energy. Makes me feel hopeful.

I love Ross, this is an amazing podcast!
Good interview with a cool dude full of life
I haven't tried swimming.
Great Podcast. Cheers from The YT. Stellar Gentleman!
You should look into Lynn Cox Rich
What a great attitude! Ross in something else! I wonder if he uses any physical enhancements to help him on his endurance journeys?
Most definitely.
who gives a shit it all comes down to the mind. If you can take some physical enhancements to allow the body to catch up to the mind abit why not???? Some peoples minds are much much stronger then there body.
I would love to see a new swim event that is just all under water racing
Considering I struggle swimming a few laps of the pool, this absolutely doesn't make sense in my head what he has achieved
Ross 🙌
This guy is a killing machine
I don't know whether he does, but if there were any justification for taking PEDs it would surely be in achieving these Herculean tasks.
Omgoodness ❤❤❤
Real life Wolverine confirmed.
How much caffeine does this guy ingest?
Yes.
I dont think some ppl realise how absolutely insane u have to to be... to be an endurance athlete... let alone someone of this caliber.. u have to be messed up in the head/ crazy to do these things... even the ppl who are in elite shape/ train for stuff like this... u atill have to be a oayschooath to do it... and ur gonnabbe pushing through pain, faigute, etc nost of thr time

Fuck….. this makes me look so lazy 😢
He is not a true marathon swimmer. Wet suit, floating down stream with the current. Nice adventure mate, but thats all

I don't listen to walking pharmacies.
He certainly is pretty saucey.

Ross is great and acheived so many crazy things but is most definitely juiced to the gills
Doesn't change the fact the man is a machine u could be juiced like him and not do half of what he did
I'm inclined to agree
Of course his mindset is impressive and he's achieved amazing feats
But come on, maintaining that physique and not losing muscle is just impossible without PED use
Nah!
Rich, you are talking way too much. It is not about you here!
