GUARDS/PARA SNIPER: From the Battlefield to Running 100 Miles in Body Armour

Richard French (Frenchy) joined the Army in 1999 and served for 17 years in the Coldstream Guards and 3 Para. Trained early in his career as a sniper and later sniper commander, he deployed on eight operational tours and multiple training team deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Saudi Arabia and Anti-poaching in Africa. Frenchy was wounded by a Taliban grenade in Afghanistan and later in a military parachute jump whist working with the American 82nd Airborne. This led to his medical discharge from the Army. Since leaving the Army, he has worked and volunteered for multiple charities in both event planning and case working. In his spare time, Frenchy has run multiple ultramarathons for charity. Including 250km through the Wadi Rum desert and setting a new record running 100 miles wearing full body armour. Interested in supporting the podcast ???
