Gordon's run nine marathons and opened 18 restaurants but he's never experienced anything as hard as training with the Royal Marines.
He's twice the age of the lads but he's not going to let that hold him back. For once it's not Gordon doing the shouting and when he finally makes it to the finish line he's greeted with typical military brusqueness.
"That was 34 minutes 3 seconds, Ramsay," barks the leader, "that is shocking!"
"That was the longest 30 minutes of my entire fucking life," pants an exhausted Gordon.
As one of the world's elite fighting forces, these guys train hard and eat like horses. They chomp their way through 4000 calories a day to stay in peak physical fitness but there's nothing elite about military rations. They're bland and repetitive and, after experiencing a typical training session, Gordon thinks the troops deserve better. He shows them how to make a spicy beef curry. It's virtually fat and cholesterol free and a great slow release energy source. It might even boost morale.
