Resilient By Choice
Resilient By Choice with Ger Prendergast and Co-host David Hill is a podcast about pushing limits, choosing growth, and building unshakable resilience, no matter what life throws at you. Hosted by DECA UK winner and DECA UK Continuous winner Ger Prendergast, this show brings you raw conversations, practical tools, and inspiring stories from the world of endurance, mindset, and personal development.
Ger isn’t just talking theory, he’s lived it. From completing 52 Iron-distance triathlons in 52 weeks, racing across the Sahara in the Marathon des Sables, taking on the world in the 777 (seven marathons on seven continents in seven days), to finishing third in the Antarctic Marathon, Ger brings real experience to every episode. Each story, whether from his own journey or that of his guests, is a lesson in what it means to keep showing up, when it’s hard, when it hurts, and when no one’s watching.
This podcast is for athletes, everyday warriors, and anyone trying to become better, stronger, and more resilient, by choice, not by chance.
