    • Health & Fitness

Achieving the extraordinary and optimising your performance.

HealthHackers Ep 25 features the sports scientist, two-time Olympian, pro-athlete consultant, celebrity trainer and co-founder of London’s Centre for Health and Human Performance, Professor Greg Whyte OBE.

When Greg’s not advising professional athletes, like boxer Anthony Joshua, he’s busy coaching celebrities to conquer major endurance challenges...

He’s the man who trained comedian David Walliams to swim across the English Channel, Gary Barlow, Cheryl Cole and Chris Moyles to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Eddie Izzard to run 43 marathons in 51 days, Davina McCall to complete a 506 mile ultra-triathlon, Dermot O’Leary and Olly Murs to trek across the driest desert in Africa, John Bishop to cycle, row and run from Paris to London, and BBC Radio 1’s Greg James to tackle five triathlons in five days.

In this episode you’ll hear:

-Greg’s three steps for anyone who wants to achieve the seemingly impossible
-how he designs training plans for non-athletic celebrities attempting monumental endurance challenges
-which of his celeb clients has impressed Greg the most
-the positive mental gains we could all get from setting a New Year challenge
-Greg’s top methods for faster recovery during extreme training
-why we shouldn’t fear exercise-induced inflammation
-the reason Greg thinks post-training ice baths are a bad idea
-which ‘expensive’ muscle recovery therapy he doesn’t endorse
-how Greg helps people with cancer to potentially reverse muscle loss caused by chemotherapy
-his most fascinating discovery about human performance during his career so far
-why we need to keep challenging dogma
-Greg’s proudest sporting career moment
-plus, how Greg turned a long-held scientific belief on its head by proving it was wrong
