2022 was quite a year for North Warwickshire's endurance athlete Paddy Doyle. The former amateur boxer and black belt 4th dan kickboxing instructor dug deep, completing his 750th career physical fitness endurance challenges and World Records covering nine different sporting categories in the village of Rowington, South Warwickshire.

In 2022 he achieved 50 tough sporting feats involving military cross country speed marches carrying various weighted backpacks, kayaking and mountain biking distances over low technical terrain.

On 19^th December he finished off the year by taking on 5 mountain bike cross country distances, carrying a mountain bike instructor kit of a 32lb backpack with added weight.

“Focusing and preparing properly has been the key, which I learnt over the years from serving in the armed forces. The support teams have also been invaluable, pushing me to every check point, no matter what the conditions are," said Paddy.
