The Next of 12 Labours- done!

Former U.S. Navy serviceman Mike McCastle pushed his body beyond every limit, covering more than 4 miles (6.5 km) with walking lunges and breaking two world records in the process. Mike was our guest on Ep 306 of The Mojo Sessions. Inspired by Greek mythology of the 12 Labors of Hercules, previously Mike undertook 5,804 pull-ups in a day to break the world record, pulled a 5,000-pound pick up across the Mojave Desert in summer, climbed a rope to the equivalent height of Mount Everest, and then broke the record for submersion in an ice bath....all for a greater purpose. Mike raises funds and awareness for causes such as cancer research, mental health for military veterans, and Parkinsons disease. Mike shows us the golden door way, the process we can take to set and be loyal to the standard.  Mike, now 38, accomplished the next feat in the surreal landscape of the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, as part of his personal “12 Labors Project” — a decade-long challenge consisting of twelve extreme physical trials. During his latest endeavor, McCastle set the record for the most lunges in one hour — 3,262 in total — and for the longest distance covered with lunges in the same timeframe: 2.2 miles (3.57 km). But he didn’t stop there. After surpassing both records, he continued until his body could take no more: 20 hours and 39 minutes of consecutive lunges, covering a total of 4.06 miles (over 6.5 km) and 4,769 repetitions. Many talk about it, Mike gets after it. Check out my interview with Mike at https://shorturl.at/E8W5E or search The Mojo Sessions on your fav pod player. ​
