Dr. Sarah Ruggins on Breaking the JOGLEJOG World Record
Dr. Sarah Ruggins cycled the full length of the UK and back (2,700km) in just 5 days, 11 hours, and 14 minutes.
In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Sarah opens up about the physical, mental, and emotional layers behind her record-breaking achievement. She discusses her journey from being bedridden as a teen to becoming one of the fastest cyclists in the world — all while balancing a high-pressure finance career and championing social causes.
We dive into her concept of “aggressive patience”, how she redefined success through setbacks, and why cycling became both her healing and her platform for advocacy.
Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, or just someone chasing a big goal — this episode is a masterclass in resilience, mindset, and meaningful achievement.
