The electrician from rural NSW has been running an average of 100 kilometres per day through the month-and-a-half journey and has suffered a litany of injuries along the way.

Whether it's running or flying hundreds of kilometres, these people will not give up. A veteran, two UK pilots and a tradie share what motivated them to take on the Nullarbor.

In the 1870s, an outback mailman would walk hundreds of kilometres every month to deliver the post between the Nullarbor communities of Eucla and Fowlers Bay, and his "astounding endurance" remains a source of pride today.

Barefoot with helmets strapped tight, speeding past ageing houses and along dusty red tracks, dodging stray dogs and potholes, the kids revel in cheers from the sidelines.

It is race day in Yarralin, and almost everyone in town has come to watch.

Parents yell encouragement from their fences, one of the local police officers acts as the unofficial timekeeper and the Mayor is there to rally the cyclists across the finish line.

It is a handicap race for all ages and abilities, on donated bikes that are wearing out quickly from overuse.

Peloton, the world’s most hyped fitness technology company, will soon arrive in Australia. We take one for a short spin

Picture yourself at the gym. It might be confined, people are huffing and puffing, everyone is moving around. And that's before you hit the showers and change room.

Cult fitness craze Peloton is set to finally be launched in Australia next month but some rich listers have already snuck in its high-end bikes from overseas.
