Emily Chappell: how do you go from cycle courier to ultra-endurance icon? The Transcontinental Race winner on physical and mental strength

Emily Chappell had barely ridden a bike until she moved to London after university and became a cycle courier. Quickly discovering a love for cycling led her on a life-changing journey, which culminated in winning the fearsome Transcontinental Race. The British cyclist and author has led a remarkable life and joined Rob and Eliot on Just Ride to talk about ultra-endurance racing, attempting to race on no sleep for three days, and finding slugs in your helmet after a night snoozing in a field.The Transcontinental Race is the definitive self-supported bike race across Europe. Every rider is self-reliant for logistics and navigation, making it a true psychological test – let alone a physical one. The route is typically 4,000km and, in 2016, Emily completed it in an incredible 13 days.She told Rob and Eliot all about that, as well as her life as a cycle courier in central London, and what her next challenges could be.We’re coming to the end of Just Ride season one but if you’d like to earn a shoutout on the show please email us at podcast@redbull.com with your best biking stories, or you can hit Eliot and Rob up on their socials – @robwarner970 & @eliotjackson – to share the Just Ride love.New episodes of Just Ride are released every other Tuesday.
