The world of 'ultra' sports is a place where humans push the limits of their body. 

Chloe McCardel is an ultra-marathon swimmer with her eyes set on taking the overall record for crosses of the English Channel.

Chloe is currently 6 passes short of the overall record of 43 and aims to pass it this year, but she says athletes like herself aren't being held to the same standard as her counterparts from more popular sports. 

She joins John to share her training regime to prepare for such a feat and how many hoops she's having to jump through to make her dream a reality.
