#56 Rory O’Connor & Ricky Long - Heavy Endurance Athletes Association  Easily my favourite episode ever because all Rory and I do in this episode is dissect our recent endurance events. Please check the array of links in the show notes for insane value in this episode.  Rory has now completed 3 Marathons with another 2 booked for October. I have now completed both a Triathlon and a Marathon 10km swim. Considering our combined weight is 200kg we consider ourselves founders of a new movement. A heavy movement. The HEA. A movement of people who should be too heavy but just do it anyway, with minimal training. How? Because it’s all in the mind. Why? To prove it to ourselves. To make us better. To make ourselves harder to kill. This episode is 1 hour and 45 minutes long. Part 1 is a solo “swim” through of my 10km swim  Part 2 is Rory and I comparing and question each other on our quite heavy achievements.  Follow Rory here https://instagram.com/roryjsoconnor?igshid=q2ftczvkpy1q Chec
