Bell, Kemp, Lennox and Muller to row for 30+ days in shifts of two-hours-on/two-hours-off

The furtherest I have rowed is 30 minutes on a rowing machine in an air conditioned gym with a cafe attached to it

This special episode of The Horse of Course was recorded in a studio in July 2020 with the crew of East Rows West.

Four Valley Premiership rugby players (Rob Lennox, Martin Muller, Grant Kemp and Matthew Bell) will be participating in the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge - a 3,000 mile row across the North Atlantic known as the world's toughest race - in December 2021.

It's a fun and fascinating episode that covers their fears and hopes, the boat, the technology, the training, the logistics, the fundraising and the inevitable mental and physical pain barriers they will need to cross.

Learn more on their website at https://eastrowswest.com/ and help support their chosen charity, the ChildFund Pass it Back program.

Please enjoy this episode.
