100. Shane Williams, Welsh rugby legend turned cyclist and AGILIS founder
This week Will and James are joined by Shane Williams, Welsh rugby union legend, Ospreys star winger, RFB Player of the Year and MBE.

Shane talks about training, winning, the difficulties of life after pro sport, and how he came to cycling.

It's an incredible tale, and one we know you'll love too.Interview begins at 5.26We Are All In This Together is available to stream now on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video and Google Play.Follow all Daniel's adventures on Instagram @the_travelin_dude--This episode is brought to you by JOIN, the training platform that sets you up with training plans that adapt on the go.

He is unsurprisingly positive about it all, his relentless passion for the sport is unwavering.  Plus, as a bonus Emma and James share their New Years resolutions.
