I attempted to set a world record for running and drawing a 72-mile GPS cock and balls. Yeah, you read that right. A 72-mile penis.
But this wasn’t just about men’s health or raising money for Movember (though we did smash the £10,000 mark). It was about proving something to myself. After having two kids, I’d let myself go. I was unfit, overweight, and stuck in a rut. I needed a challenge big enough to shock me back to life — and what’s bigger or more ridiculous than the world’s largest GPS dick?
In this episode of the Rokman Podcast, I share:
– How the idea came about (and why Guinness actually denied the challenge)
– What it took to train for 72 miles when I could barely run 3
– The brutal highs and lows of the attempt itself
– Whether I actually managed to set the record
– And what it all taught me about getting fit, finding purpose, and proving you’ve still got it
This isn’t a story about running. It’s a story about hitting rock bottom, setting a ridiculous goal, and clawing your way back through sheer stubbornness.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost your edge, this one’s for you.

Everyone online says you need to reduce stress. Meditate. Breathe. Touch grass.But here’s the truth — you can’t meditate your way out of a sh*t job, a toxic boss, or an empty bank account. In this video, I share how stress nearly ruined my life — and how learning to use it instead of running from it completely changed everything. From burnout and anxiety to building mental toughness, I break down the science of stress, the psychology of performance, and how to turn pressure into power.

Ultra-endurance athlete and race director to one of the toughest race companies in the country, Claire Smith's story is one of true inspiration.

Paul Minter served 18 years in the British Army as a reconnaissance soldier, completing five tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. After losing 14 friends to suicide - twice as many as those who Paul lost his combat, he felt the need for better mental health support for the Armed Forces had never been higher.
So, Paul set up Head Up Charity along with three other veterans in order to provide a non-militarised retreat centre where Armed Forces can receive holistic and personalised mental health treatment. For the last 7 months, Paul has been running around the entire coastline of the UK - a total of 5000 miles - to raise awareness and funds for the retreat centre.
