EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Joe Rogan and Ross Edgley, Joe Rogan Experience #1200 - Ross Edgley explores ross Edgley Reveals How He Swam 2,000 Miles Around Britain Joe Rogan interviews ultra-endurance athlete Ross Edgley about his 157‑day, 2,000‑mile swim around Great Britain, exploring the physical, psychological, and environmental challenges he faced. Ross details how tides, whirlpools, cold water, jellyfish, and storms shaped the attempt as much as his own fitness did. The conversation branches into sports science—strength vs stamina, work capacity, movement efficiency, nutrition, and recovery—and how these principles apply across endurance sports, strongman lifting, and MMA. They also dig into mental toughness, motivation, and how athletes manipulate their bodies and minds to push beyond perceived limits.
