0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to the Not So Fit Couple podcast with your host, Lucy Heldon.
0:04.3	I'm Benjamin Haldon. In this week's episode, we are back at the My Protein Kitchen
0:09.2	and we have a fantastic guest in the form of Johnny Davis. This is day 11 of running the entire
0:14.3	London Underground, the last day, the biggest day, the central line, 92K. Johnny Davis is a guy who's ran the entire length of the
0:25.6	London Underground. That's 570K and he completed it in 11 days. We dive into the mindset of doing such a challenge
0:35.4	and also what it means to be in pain, emotional pain, physical pain,
0:39.8	mental pain and pushing through those different barriers and it was one of the most inspiring
0:44.5	episodes we have ever done. Within this we also covered how pain can be your ally, how it is one of
0:50.7	the main vehicles in which we can discover our true potential, and how me and Lucy are absolute caffeine snobs.
0:57.3	Enjoy this week's episode, guys.
0:59.2	I'd like to give a quick apology for this week, guys.

1:15.9	next week as usual. Johnny, welcome to the podcast. Thank you for having me. Why did you run the
1:21.5	London Tube? A bit of fun, isn't it? No, so it's a combination of a few things. I wanted to do some sort of run over a series of days that was unique, challenging, but also something that people could get involved with and join in with. So, as I know, 11 lines of London Underground's, 11 days, 572 kilometres.
1:45.0	And throughout the entire process of doing it, I was never on my own.
1:49.0	There was always people who came to join for that day, that section, that stop, whatever it was.
1:55.0	And so I think over the course of the 11 days, we had over 800 people join in for different sections,
1:59.0	different parts, which was...
2:00.0	Wow, that is sick. Which for me was what I wanted the most out of it was that I could create an event or create
2:05.1	a challenge that wasn't just about me.
