  • Chasing Hard Things: Matt Roberts on Peaks, Pedals, and Pushing Limits
    Feb 4 2026

    Matt Roberts is the kind of person who doesn’t just take on a challenge—he stacks them. In this episode, we talk about his mission to climb the tallest mountains across the British Isles and cycle between them, what it takes to keep moving when the novelty wears off, and why he’s drawn to projects that are equal parts adventure and suffering.We also get into the stranger side of endurance—like staying in a sauna for hours—plus the grind of the Lochaber 4000s, and what these experiences teach him about mindset, resilience, and what’s possible when you commit fully. If you love big days in the mountains and the psychology behind pushing limits, you’ll love this one.
