Average Rob embarks on a six-month journey to complete an Ironman triathlon, undergoing rigorous training and meeting with world champions Luc and Frederik Van Lierde. Alongside his brother Arno, Rob faces both physical and mental challenges to achieve their ultimate goal.

After months of run-focused training, I lined up at the Barcelona Marathon to see what was possible over 42.2km. The result didn’t go how I had hoped… but that’s only part of the story. This documentary follows the full build-up to race day, the highs of trying something new, and the reality of when sport brings you back down to earth. Sometimes things don’t go to plan. That doesn’t mean they aren’t worth chasing.
