Lilian Tse, aka Adventure Lilian, is no stranger to cycling in all weathers and all conditions, having biked 4500 miles from Vancouver to Key West in America. Here, she recounts her experience of cycling one of the world’s most famous – and dangerous – roads: Death Road in Bolivia.

Looking for a multi-stage running challenge to add to your wishlist? With spectacular Colorado scenery, buckets of team camaraderie and full event support (from accommodation to hot showers), the TransRockies Run has it all.

In 2015, after barely two years practising the sport, Tia-Clair Toomey stunned the CrossFit world (and herself) by taking 2^nd place in her rookie year at the 2015 CrossFit Games. Proving it was no one-off, the former track athlete went on to repeat her success with a second place in the 2016 Games, officially earning herself the title of two-time ‘Second fittest woman on earth’.

If it’s been your lifelong dream to see up-close how a mountain expedition works, you won’t want to miss this: an opportunity to hike up to Camp 1, at 5700m on Ama Dablam, Nepal, with record-breaking British Mountaineer, Holly Budge.

Holly, who I interviewed back in April, is fresh from summiting Everest and has a second climb of Ama Dablam in her sights. She’s now organising a special group of 15 trekkers to hike with her up to 5700m, in tandem with her own expedition to scale Ama Dablam.

Best news of all? You don’t need any previous trekking experience.

 Blogger, writer, MTB coach and endurance cyclist, Hannah Attenburrow (AKA Beyond the Mud), shares her experience of taking part in the uber-challenging, 521km-long, TransAlp Mountain Bike Race last year.

51-year-old ultra-runner and multi-day stage race specialist, Carolin Botterill, wasn’t always into running. It wasn’t until she was 36, and a mum of three, that she began the journey which would ultimately lead to her becoming an ultra-runner – accidentally – via a bid to get fit and lose weight. At first she walked, then she ran, and just kept running. Now, 17 years later, Carolin has completed some of the toughest multi-day ultras on the planet, taking her from the Arctic Circle to the Peruvian jungle.

In one of the most insightful interviews I’ve posted, Carolin shares her experiences with me, including the lengths she goes to in order to acclimatise to extreme heat and cold ahead of her ultra-events.

As Editor-in-Chief of the Sunday Times’ Style supplement and former editor of Elle and Cosmopolitan magazine, 48-year-old Lorraine Candy is one of the most recognisable faces in British publishing. Her job takes her abroad for weeks at a time and to multiple evening events, which she juggles with the no-less demanding role of being a mother of four.

So what made the already time-poor Editor-in-Chief (who couldn’t swim more than four lengths of front crawl two years ago) decide to take on training for the seriously tough Lake Geneva ‘Signature 70’ relay swim?

Ahead of the 6-person, 70km relay, which takes place in just over a week’s time, I put some questions to Lorraine in order to find out.

Love cycling? Don’t miss a FREE talk next week with the inspiring American cyclist, Ayesha McGowan. Well on her way to achieving her ambition to become the first female African-American professional cyclist, Ayesha is a badass advocate of minorities and women in cycling.

Erin Bastian is an adventurer and expedition leader. Her love of sea kayaking (she’s a qualified instructor) has led to some epic adventures on sea, including paddling an incredible 800km down the west coast of Patagonia (one of the world’s toughest wildernesses), Chile, in 33 days.

She’s pretty awesome on bike and foot too, cycling 1300km around Iceland, and training for her upcoming running challenge to run the 190km-long, jagged mountain ridge of Corsica’s GR20.

Here, we kick off talking about Erin’s Chilean sea kayak expedition in Patagonia.

Last weekend, Pro cyclist and sprint specialist, Jolien D’hoore, took the Belgium National Road Race title, adding four-time national road race champion to her cycling CV. Today, on the opening day of the Giro Rosa, Jolien will line up with her Wiggle High5 team mates  to take on the Team Time Trial, so it seems fitting to share the chat I had with the 27-year-old ‘Belgian Bullet’ earlier this month.

I grabbed five minutes with Jolien a few hours ahead of her stage win on the final day of the OVO Women’s Tour in London.
