After completing a full Ironman in 2023, Average Rob was faced with the question: "What's next?" The answer—one of the toughest endurance challenges in the world. In this first episode, he embarks on the legendary Marathon des Sables, a grueling 250-kilometer race across the Sahara Desert, where athletes must endure scorching temperatures of up to 50º Celsius while carrying all their own supplies. With the help of an experienced team, he takes on this extreme test of resilience, pushing his limits like never before.

When she was younger, Fernanda Maciel was asked what her dream was. She replied that it was to travel the world and explore, but even she couldn’t have imagined this… Mount Vinson is Antarctica’s highest peak. At 4,892m, it takes most people between four and six days to complete the journey to and from the summit. Fulfilling her dream to run in the world’s most remote locations, Fernanda sets out to see how much quicker she can scale the coldest and most isolated of the seven summits.

In an alpine challenge like no other, ultrarunner Fernanda Maciel goes for the fastest known time on Gran Paradiso and then heads to her nemesis: The Matterhorn – all in 24 hours.
