#91 Chris Howard | How to perform at your best when you feel your worst

Today I am interviewing British adventurer Chris Howard.

 

"Our mantra went out the window when we left port, and it became very scary, but we used that fear."

Extreme endurance adventurer and father of three, Chris Howard chats about some of his most recent adventures, including rowing the Atlantic and walking the coast of Great Britain (a marathon a day for 450 consecutive days). He talks about how to perform at your best when you feel your worst, and how to use negativity to fuel success.   Chris was able to fund raise for Children in Need during his coast walk, knowing that disadvantaged and vulnerable children around the UK became even more at risk and often in danger during the lockdowns (childhood deprivation is an issue that Chris has first hand knowledge of from his own childhood).   Raising significant amounts of money for charity to support children became a source of inspiration during his walk. Chris explores other driving forces behind extreme challenges, and of how not to let the excuses of today become the regrets of tomorrow.    Chris had undertaken adventures as a teenager (including walking 2800 miles on the islands along the west coast of Thailand), and it was whilst at work one day he realised, "I shouldn't have been doing this every day, I should have been doing that!" He is about to embark on rowing round the coast of Great Britain, along with publishing his book about walking around the coastline.   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8Ii0d4-P4Q   Connect with Chris: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christhecoastwalker/ Website: https://thecoastwalker.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thecoastwalker YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfhL84AMqVhym90-xtvKyZA/videos Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christhecoastwalker/ Email: Thecoastwalker@gmail.com
