Neil Rhodes

A personal trainer by profession who has trained World Champions and World record holders, but has marathon experience. Rather, Neil's area of expertise is rowing. He is a member of the Great Britain indoor rowing squad and is the only person in the world to have rowed one million metres (on three occasions). At 48 years old, he is acknowledged by Guinness World Records as the world record holder with this distance. Remarkably, Neil's brain technically died for a short period on February 18th 2003 due to a massive brain haemorrhage. However, he obviously recovered to tell the tale but with "even less intelligence than before" according to himself.
