Because I typed that, and because Google is watching, I am now being served ads about Dolph Lundgren's new movie. Let's take advantage of stars' greater willingness to do interviews when they have a new project to promote to get him on Mark's show.

Me sitting here as a 42 year old guy listening to a 50 year old guy getting life advice from a 62 year old guy has to be one of the best wisdom hand-me-downs I've been a part of.

@@RobbieB2606 Then let me at least add a bit to the hand me down train. From 32 to 42, I learned that the most important part of fitness is consistency. It's not your PR effort on the hard days, your goals, or your DNA. It's just the showing up and doing the work day after day.

What a genuinely nice bloke and so humble.

5 golds at 5 separate Olympics.....is insane. Without doubt the greatest British athlete of all time.mr.inspiration.

What a guest, kudos Mark. Sir Steve is absolutely my most revered athlete unbelievable individual and thoroughly wonderful man.

Top bloke. Down to earth. Humble. Not living in the past. And one of our greatest athletes.

I have two heroes & Sir Steve is one. The other is the late, great Andy Ripley! Just look him up & be prepared to be blown away. The man was insanely talented,

What a scoop to get Sir Steve Redgrave on your channel, and glad the chat had some deeper meaning, excellent stuff!

Mark - superb effort. I’ve never seen Steve this comfortable, relaxed and candid in an interview before. Kudos 👌

25 years of elite performance to win 5 golds is insane. What an athlete but he did have some awesome guys alongside him Matt James Tim.

Bollocks to aging gracefully. At 59 years old, I'm gonna be the best that I can and keep pumping the weights and cycling/walking to keep fit. I'm not gonna go without a fight and will enjoy every minute of it!

Bloody hell, Sir Steven Redgrave! This is brilliant, good effort Mark!!! 👍

When I was 16 I had the pleasure of racing against Sir Steve at Kingston head of river. Already a legend, he was in the Leander 8 and as they cruised past us on the way to their starting place, you just heard their cox ask "Is that ok Steve?" to which he replied "No, take it up!" He was an absolute animal and a great champion.

Greatest British athlete ever. And Sir Steve is not too shabby.

Clearly Sir Steve has a lot of time for Mark and Mark was visibly nervous in the company of the great man. Very real interview Mark well done Sir. Can't wait for the next treat ☺.

That's so cool you got to talk to him, I remember how much of a big deal he was growing up for rowing. 5 in 5 is incredible

Sir Steven Redgrave is a legend, you are pretty great, too Mark.

I was fortunate when I was at school to have had a trip organised by our school priest to Henley regatta and the small group that went had the privilege of meeting Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent 1 year out from the Atlanta games. They were man mountains but so extremely genuine in how they spoke to us. Absolute confidence yet humility and kindness. He has always been a hero and an inspiration and I'm so lucky to have grown up at a time when he was at the peak of his powers. As a swimmer, Aleksandar Popov, Ian Thorpe and Michael Phelps have been my idols. However Sir Steve, Sir Matthew, Sir Chris Hoy and more recently Usain Bolt have certainly summed up what it is to be an Olympian. Legend and always will be.

Thank you Mark, got that interview, I’ve watched you on and off over the years & love your humour. This has to be your finest interview, Sir Steve Redgrave What a guy!!!!

The look on Marks face when he was talking to Steve is priceless 😊you can tell this meant a lot to Mark 👍🏻 amazing job both of you 👊👊👊 absolutely loves this 👍🏻👍🏻

Sir Steve - so honest about very personal issues & so humble about his legendary career. Great advice and a brilliant interview.

Sir Redgrave is a national treasure. One of my favorite rowers along with James Cracknell and Matthew Pinsent!

What a wonderful conversation. Thank you for putting this interview together Mark. It was great to hear you chat with Sir Steve. There are so many good life lessons here.

What a great chap is Sir Steve, talks so much sense. All that success and yet so humble and down to earth.

This was an excellent interview Mark. Thanks for the video, and thanks to Sir Steven for being so open and honest.

Brilliant interview, thank you for making this one happen. As a 54 year old male trying to look after my health its comforting to hear these kind of conversations knowing it is becoming more socially acceptable to talk about.

Wow, Mark, a hero to so many of us. What a man - and a great interview!! Well done - and thanks

Enjoyed this chat, especially his honesty about getting older and mental health

A powerful message to many. Thank you for putting this out there and to hear it from someone of the humility and greatness of Steve was extra special.

Great you got Sir Steve Redgrave on the show! Looking forward for the next 30+ minutes. The opening story is already killing me😁By the way, anyone ever owned a Capri with working brakes (asking for a friend)?😅

My late and beloved Dad owned a purple 1973 Capri until I was well into my teens (maximum adolescent embarrassment in 1989...) and the breaks were spotless. However, he spent inordinate amounts of time under that car and patching rust spots every other weekend...

Massive Mark and Sir Steve for a fanstasic chat.Since the early 70's watching the Olympics with my Dad I've continued to love watching them and Sir Steve was always a stick on for a medal for the UK. His honestly and openess for me was wonderful and even helps me refelct on my past running ultra glories and to not be sad but appreciate I did these but have much to live for. Thanks lads, that was great.

Sir Steve - the word legend is bandied about far too often but Sir Steve Redgrave truly is.

Thanks so so much for this interview, Steve and Mark! Mark, your questions and comments had me chuckling throughout. Asking Steve some of the schoolboy questions we've all wanted to know, as well as that great age question that I'm so interested in, now being 51! But the TRT thing was the most interesting. Thank you so much for letting Steve talk at length about it. I was hanging on his every word. As a former rower who is always so proud of Steve's unprecedented achievements at five consecutive Olympics, a fair few people have tried to shoot me down with the Hungarian fencer, Aladár Gerevich. But even if Gerevich did win at six Games (which is a fantastic achievement), there's no comparison to winning in a power-endurance sport such as rowing. I accept I might be biased, but Steve truly deserves the top spot and wow-factor, IMHO. And he's still got the rowers muscle definition in those shoulders!

A really fantastic interview. Great questions and Steve's authenticity is very welcome.

What a great video Mark thank you. Sir Steve an absolute legend!! 👍

Damn Mark! Amazing getting the legend that is Sir Steve Redgrave on. Great interview. Actually quite surprised Steve doesn’t row just for fitness but then he did it for so many years and has other hobbies now.

Fantastic interview, thank you both.

What a lovely bloke. And Sir Steve too.

The best half hour of this week, thanks for a great interview.

Great interview. Really enjoyed hearing Steve's stories and experiences. Thanks Mark.

What a wonderful man. What he said about retirement is so true - even in corporate life. I had my best job in the last three years (63-66), and the biggest success of my life days before the big-R. It leaves you hollow.

Superb!! Thankyou for this, what a totally down to earth and inspiring chap.

Wow, absolute gold. Great content Mark and Sir Steve, really enjoyed this 👍

Well done Mark and thank you Steve!

You’re a good interviewer Mark. Your questions are thoughtful and well presented and you listen well. You should do more of these!

Sir Steve is a legend and should be proud of what he achieved. Thanks for putting this on Mark.. being a Male now 69 … I found with doing more exercise I have felt better about myself. And retiring from work was a great moment … but the down side is having a life that is enjoyable and fulfilling… so exercise has helped me get out of bed in the morning …..

No way! You got Redgrave on your channel!?!? 🎉🎉🎉 😮

Arguably Britain’s greatest ever athlete! Truly amazing career

I never comment on anything online, but my man! This was fantastic.

Thank you for this. I'm relatively new to your channel. This was a really important interview. I'm 60. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life but the one thing I got right was to exercise consistently throughout my life (and I mean daily) and generally keep a good whole foods diet (with occasional lapses! and stay off the piss as much as possible...). It really pays dividends now. I remain very active physically and mentally, have a good diet, sleep reasonably well but it's still really tough dealing with an ageing body and staring down the barrel at your imminent mortality. It can become a heavy mental game. It was great to hear a sensible conversation about TRT and its benefits to those who need it, (I don't use it but I'm considering it). Sir Steve was so humble and honest. He's absolutely right. It's ok to let go of your past identity. Move on and adapt. Jocko calls it 'accepting reality'. Get momentum, keep momentum but get professional help if you need it. You younger blokes need to pay attention to Sir Steve's words! Thanks again Mark and Sir Steve.

Thank you for this Mark sir! I've watched it several times! Such a fantastic interview. And what great teamwork you both had to ensure sir steve won all those medals! Some would argue your "not running over steve" role may have been tougher and more key to all those victories than the "bit of a row" role he took on, but that's what teamwork is!!!

Thank you for interviewing Steve! Rowing is such a magnificent sport and it is great to acknowledge what this man achieved! If you want to try rowing don’t go near the Concept 2, join a club and get out on the water!!

Loved this. Great to hear from such a legend. 🤝

Thank you Steve and thank you Mark best athlete of all time and thoroughly top bloke nothing more to say.....

Love Sir Steve, brilliant interview, chapeau Mark

Amazing to see one of my hero’s Sir Steve, great man, truly inspirational. Also went to Rivermead Centre in the nineties to do Concept 2 indoor rowing championships. In awe of Steve’s times..great sportsman.

What an amazing posture towards life. We stand before a true Champion that is way more than the sum of its titles. I wish a long and happy life to Sir Steve.

Best video you have done.Steve Redgrave,great interview.

Brilliant interview. Very Insightful. Who would think Sir Steve had these issues. Honest and frank.

What a legend! Great to get this kind of advice which is rarely spoken about.

Exceptional Mark. Chapeau. 👍

Fantastic interview, with insightful questions that really engaged Sir Steve. Really enjoyed it. Well done.

Thanks!

awesome video. dealing with reduced athletic performance is hard but the key is accepting where you are and being happy with that. Easier said than done of course!

What a fantastic video and what a legend. Myself who has gone through mental issues and also in my 50’s who played lots of sport I can relate very well with the topic of conversation. Again awesome video 👍

Having grown up watching Sir Steve win all those golds this was an absolute treat. I love discovering the real person behind the celebrity and I think you both allowed the orange to be peeled back just enough to allow important messages to come through. Thanks to you both for a great video 🤩

Great guest Mark, really enjoyed listening to this. More content like this please.

Absolute legend. I’ve got a 100km row coming up and am questioning all my life choices.. haven’t even started yet. Awesome interview! Thanks Mark

A legendary national hero, and a modest, self effacing one at that. In this age of fame over substance, this was a refreshingly insightful interview. Great job Mark.

Great interview Mark thanks for this

Great interview, thoroughly enjoyed!

What a great video! Very informative from you both. This is what KZread is really for. 👍👏💪

A fantastic interview with a wonderful human being

Dream world!! Mark and Sir Stephen (yes I know) … refurbished leisure centres and life goal ticked off… congrats Mark. Truly brilliant

Awesome interview! Love it!

Great work Mark awesome to see this

Outstanding interview. I was at school with Tim Foster and remember watching Sir Steve win that 5th medal very well.

Wow just wow, great interview. Sir Steve Redgrave is a sporting god.

Can see how excited mark is, it's lovely :)

Fantastic interview Mark. You two are proper influencers

Well done Mark!! Great interview 👍

The bit about doing a marathon on the erg struck a nerve. In 2014 I did my one and only rowing marathon in aid of Autism West Midlands. I'd done the million metre challenge the year before but that marathon was filthy. I managed 2 hrs 54. Which, as a 47 year old I was really pleased with. Now, at 57, ive tried the concept 2 several times, but my back just screams at me. I have been doing a stint on the ski erg for a few months now, theres never a queue to get on that!!. Well done Mark, i love your vids anyway but this was a bit special with the big man👍

There's nothing worse than that feeling of not wanting to get out of bed. Thanks to people like you Mark and Sir Steve talking about it, hopefully many other men will feel able to reach out and get the help they need before it's too late.

I still remember when Sir Steve came to visit us at our local leisure center. I was a kid but have never forgotten the living legend he is. I am now 57 & delighted Mark you have him on your Chanel. I always wanted to know what type of diabetics does Sir Steve have? I assume type 1? My son has type 1. I would be interested if you ever get to ask him how has he coped with diabeties?

Quality. Good to see the Govnor. Thank you.

Great interview, thanks

I don’t think I will ever forget staying up until 4am to watch Steve win in 2000. Great guest Mark!

Just caught this video and wow it really struck a cord. Getting old is a privilege but its not easy. Many thanks Mark and Steve.

I really enjoyed this interview.

Brilliant!!!!

Great interview, Mark !

Great interview

Brilliant loved this really great insight.

Fan of the channel and as a college rower fan of the great Steven Redgrave!

Brilliant Mark I enjoyed this ! Would love to see his reaction to your rowing challenge , or your last kayaking video .

Thank you is all I have to say, very helpful

What a brilliant interview with an absolute icon (Sir Steve that is) 😉

Absolutely outstanding. That must have been one of those moments in your life where you thought “am I really doing this?”

Awesome. Great bloke 💯

Great conversation- 55 and getting blood tests as a result. More like this please Mark!!

Wow. You're moving up in the world Mark @MarkLewisfitness
