Ironmind: Against All Odds

By: Conor Devine

Narrated by: Conor Devine

Conor Devine's life changed forever following a consultation with his neurologist in 2007. At 28 years old, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, advised to stop playing his beloved football, and told to give up his job. Over the next four years, he struggled with every aspect of his life as his debilitating MS symptoms started to take hold.

In 2010, Devine made a decision to fight back against his illness in an attempt to take his life, body, and mind back. He did this through embracing a vigorous exercise campaign along with completely changing his diet and approach to food.

During a goal-setting session at Christmas 2014, the author came up with an Against All Odds challenge, comprising a training program that would see him complete two marathons, two triathlons, a half Ironman and a full Ironman triathlon in 20 weeks. An Ironman is a 2.4-mile swim, an 112-mile bike, and a full marathon, and is internationally recognized as one of the most severe endurance races on the planet. In this audiobook, Conor sets out the training program he adopted, the important role his change in nutrition played, and ultimately, the key ingredients you need to develop an iron mindset. A mindset that allowed him to achieve Ironman status, despite the adversity he faces every single day.

Wherever you are in your own life right now, there is no doubt that this truly inspirational account will encourage, inspire, and motivate you to go on and achieve your goals in life. This is a very personal account of how one man overcame significant adversity to become an Ironman against all odds.
