The Why

“Your success and failure is all compared to you.”

In the opening episode of Chasing Impossible, we meet Murray Lees. A father, husband and retired businessman as he sets out on his most ambitious challenge yet: completing the Melbourne Ironman 70.3.

This episode dives into Murray’s “why,” exploring the motivations behind his decision to take on such a gruelling goal. Through candid reflections and early training moments, we uncover the personal values, fears and aspirations that are driving him. This isn't just to race, but to prove something deeper to himself and his family.

Chasing Impossible is a raw, high-performance documentary series following Murray Lees as he trains for the IRONMAN 70.3 Melbourne. Set over eight transformative months, this series captures the physical grind, mental resilience, and emotional depth of chasing a goal that sits just beyond reach.
