BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Out of Your Comfort Zone

Gillian Russell revists conversations with guests who have been out of their comfort zone.

Gillian Russell revists interviews with people who have been out of their comfort zone, including Jo Hill, Phil Sime, Clare Smith and fitness volunteers Fiona White and John Moy.

From an arctic marathon to boxing, from cycling out of ill mental health to a triple ironman triathlon, Gillian Russell looks back at the guests who have been out of their comfort zone and recalls how she pushed her own boundaries by cycling the Loch Ness Etape. And trying out pole dancing. And laughter yoga. And an obstacle course...!

Jo Hill talks about her experiences of running a marathon in Spitzbergen, 500 miles from the North Pole while producer Suzy Beaumont takes visually impaired colleague Phil Sime out on a tandem. 

Clare Smith explains why getting over breast cancer was the motivation she needed to undertake the Total Warrior obstacle course and Sandra shares her enthusiasm for boxing fitness.

Gillian goes for a cycle with Selina to find out how much she's gained from the Women's Cycle To Health Project and Simon Jacob recounts the huge challenge of enduring a triple ironman triathlon.

Personal Best volunteers Fiona White and John Moy talk about getting out of their comfort zones to kick start their fitness: Fiona tackles the stairs at work instead of taking the lift and John finally buys a bike and discovers a love of cycling.
