Episode 5: Resilience

In this episode of the Horizon Strength Podcast, hosts Jack Buffery and Josh Parkin dive deep into the theme of resilience — in training, life, and even survival. From tackling the 24-Hour Challenge to scaling workouts for all fitness levels, they explore how commitment, intensity, and smart recovery can shape long-term progress.

The conversation covers everything from climbing and endurance training to the lessons of the 1904 marathon (How the 1904 Marathon Became One of the Weirdest Olympic Events of All Time),  the value of nutrition tracking, and even survival strategies if you crash-landed in the Amazon jungle. Along the way, Jack reveals more about the Eclipse Challenge — a 28-day program designed to push physical and mental limits.

Whether you’re chasing fitness goals, building personal resilience, or just curious about how to thrive under pressure, this episode will challenge you to take action, trust the process, and confront the hard things that lead to growth.
