Britain’s Fittest Farmer 2022 competition
Daniel Baron enters the 2022 competition ...
Britain’s Fittest Farmer, the competition designed to promote physical and mental health and wellbeing in agriculture, is open for entries.
The event, which attracts contestants from around the country, allows people to test themselves in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Daniel’s entry was one of those selected in Farmers Weekly.
Daniel works as an arable agronomist, and likes spending time with his two children, as well as helping out on his wife’s family farm.
“I train with a good group of friends and we all support each other with our gym work. I feel a good session in the gym before work puts me in a great mood for the rest of the day,” says Daniel, who also enjoys mountain biking and running.
Formerly a tractor driver and sprayer operator, the Lancashire-based 36-year-old has completed long-distance ultra-marathons – including the Bob Graham Round, which is 66 miles and 27,000ft of climbing in 24 hours.
“Both my children enjoy sports, such as gymnastics and swimming. I encourage them to enjoy these activities and not feel pressure to perform well every time.
“I tell them that as long as they’re having fun with their friends and are being active, then that’s the priority,” he says.
