MIKE BUSS World Record Breaking Endurance Athlete and Adventurer

Mike Buss is a former Army Physical Training Instructor who served with the British Army for several years until an explosion in N. Ireland left Mike deaf in one ear, resulting in Mike being medically discharged.

Mikes thirst for adventure and physical challenge lead him to breaking fitness endurance world records and to date (2009) Mike has broken over 30! including cycling non-stop for 4days and running a marathon with 120lbs (8stone) on his back.

Mike has set himself an exhausting callender of records to break over the next few years including running continuously for 6 days carrying a 40lb pack in August 2010.

Mike has been dubbed "The Real Iron Mike" after completing several Iron Man Triathlons, nearly 50 Marathons and over 30 World Records which many last for more than 24hrs!

Mike is set on becoming the most prolific world record breaker of all time, with an initial goal of breaking 100 world records!

Mike is not only a world record breaking ultra athlete, Mike also has a love of the outdoors which has taken him on several expeditions across Africa, Central and South America and one climb on Everest which unfortunately ended just before the summit. Mike is planning a climb to the summit of Everest in 2014 along with leading a climb to the sumit of Kilimanjaro in 2011 with a number of Swindon based school teachers.

Mike is a qualified Winter Mountain Leader as well as a survival expert, and this training has very much helped Mike in his record breaking career, showing mental toughness can carry anyone a long way even after the body tried to give up!

Mike's motto is " Believe and Achieve"
