Becoming a multiple world record holder in various ultra-endurance sports requires more than exceptional discipline and athleticism. Ross has spent years developing his sports nutrition expertise, effectively biohacking his body to take on extreme challenges. For anyone unfamiliar with Ross’s impressive back catalogue of achievements, he’s perhaps best known as the world record holder for the longest staged sea swim. He set this in 2018 when after 157 gruelling days without setting foot on land, he became the first person in history to swim 1,780 miles around Britain. He also broke a world record in June last year, when he continuously swam 510km down the Yukon River in Canada, over a punishing two-and-a-half-day expedition. In May, Ross embarked on his latest challenge: to become the first person to swim 1,000 miles around the entire coast of Iceland — a monumental journey that’s still underway. 13
