All this week, as part of Radio 2's Living Alone Well season, our sports presenter Caroline Baker will be exploring the successes and achievements of solo sportsmen and sportswomen.

He has also completed the world's highest mountain bike race in Nepal, the Jungle Ultra in Peru and the Double Brutal (double Iron Man) in Snowdonia as preparation for his next record breaking attempt - to record the fastest solo, unsupported and unassisted journey to the South Pole.
