I was also a gym instructor who took a team to the indoor rowing championships at Bracknell leisure centre circa 1993 and met Sir Steve who was handing out the prizes. Didn’t run him over in the car park though… 😂

Thank you for taking us with you! Well done!

7:10 Just had to sneak that in eh?

Nice one, a olympic titan‼️ Love the bit at the absolute beginning, to settle Steve in, about how you nearly maimed him in your Capri. Comedy gold as usual.💪

My PB 400 is 54.72 seconds and I’m happy with that

Great video! I reckon James Cracknell would be a great guest as well.

Exceptional Mark. Chapeau. 👍

A 1:08 400m isn’t unthinkable. The fact he can do that though for 26.2 miles is unfathomable

Fantastic interview, thank you both.

After around 3 months the face detached from the case. Apple store could not repair - i fixed it myself. A few months later I dropped my apple watch onto the kitchen counter, around 40cm drop and the screen smashed. I got it repaired (very expensive). A few months later I dropped it again and screen smashed. I have never broken any other watch. I’ll stick to my Garmin.

time stamps someone?

Well done Mark!! Great interview 👍

Thank you for interviewing Steve! Rowing is such a magnificent sport and it is great to acknowledge what this man achieved! If you want to try rowing don’t go near the Concept 2, join a club and get out on the water!!

Sir Steve - so honest about very personal issues & so humble about his legendary career. Great advice and a brilliant interview.

Absolute legend. I’ve got a 100km row coming up and am questioning all my life choices.. haven’t even started yet. Awesome interview! Thanks Mark

Missed opportunity to ask him about his garden makeover 15 or so years ago.

Some fella!!

Legend

Top bloke

Loved this. Great to hear from such a legend. 🤝

What a great chap is Sir Steve, talks so much sense. All that success and yet so humble and down to earth.

Hi Mark - A Bit random 8 days after you posted this but I just saw that Lance Armstrong did his first ever Hyrox and it knacked him - You're the only other person I've ever heard from that did Hyrox so I'm a simpleton and thought you might be interested.

“I believe that everybody has got some greatness in them”

I really enjoyed this interview.

Wow just wow, great interview. Sir Steve Redgrave is a sporting god.

Damn Mark! Amazing getting the legend that is Sir Steve Redgrave on. Great interview. Actually quite surprised Steve doesn’t row just for fitness but then he did it for so many years and has other hobbies now.

Love Sir Steve, brilliant interview, chapeau Mark

There's nothing worse than that feeling of not wanting to get out of bed. Thanks to people like you Mark and Sir Steve talking about it, hopefully many other men will feel able to reach out and get the help they need before it's too late.

Fan of the channel and as a college rower fan of the great Steven Redgrave!

Legend!

That is why I stopped with social media. Just KZbin. They only place that you don’t get junk.

Sir Steve is one of our greatest Olympians. His achievements are amazing. I beat him at Wycombe Rye Parkrun. Not boasting or anything, but I beat him at something. Please not that Parkrun is a run, not a race. But I did beat him that one day.

Wow. You're moving up in the world Mark @MarkLewisfitness

Wow, absolute gold. Great content Mark and Sir Steve, really enjoyed this 👍

Great interview. Really enjoyed hearing Steve's stories and experiences. Thanks Mark.

Really nice video! Having timestamps would be really helpful for these longs videos

We all get old and bitter one day.

Hey Mark, did you have the Dolphin Lundgren workout video on VHS? it was great with some surprisingly visionary advice on diet and stress. Quentin Tarantino is in the credits…apparently his job was to pick up dogshit in the carpark… You can find all the exercises on KZbin.

Mark wins in forehead size and 499m row time.

A legendary national hero, and a modest, self effacing one at that. In this age of fame over substance, this was a refreshingly insightful interview. Great job Mark.

This was great! But, come on! The ergo is great! - always humbling.

Had the same day, god bless😊

My favourite type 1 diabetic.

Great video

I’ve heard it called shooing the chickens before, but not scooping! Is a real warm up though! ;)

Great interview. Sir Steve is wise on his old age. Now you just need Sylvester Stalone on the show and you will have met all your heroes!

Thanks!

Wow, Mark, a hero to so many of us. What a man - and a great interview!! Well done - and thanks

Jeepers. You have seen inside my head - I was wearing my AWU, I think the sandwich I was munching had avocado 🥑 and I did briefly think about coding while sipping my cafe latte ☕️ Hankering for a Fenix 7 is in full swing to feel more practical in general - but yeah there is definitely a general vibe for AWU which is that is it both “good”, limited-unpractical, and 100% a geek-status item. I know as that’s how I view myself before and after you’ve seen inside my world 🌎

Enjoyed that. Would love to see you interview James Cracknell. That guy has always fascinated me.
