Motional Intelligence is a podcast for people who enjoy pushing themselves (and for the rest who'd rather watch, ideally seated). Every Thursday I talk to athletes and content creators about what's really going on when it gets hard: marathon training that wrecks social plans, personal bests nobody claps for, and the 5K that felt like an IRONMAN at the time.
Runners, this is your KM-after-KM companion. Everyone else, feel free to just feel vaguely inspired. Motivation, movement, and some truly terrible takes. This is Motional Intelligence with Calum Goddard!

Ello: The Truth Behind Ello & Mark Dowdle's Viral Ultramarathon Showdown...
Épisode 58
jeudi 3 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:17:52
FINALLY! We find out what really happened... This week I sat down with ultra runner Ayyoub El Osrouti AKA Ello. I travelled over to the Another Cotton Lab store in Düsseldorf, Germany just days after he completed one of the most dramatic backyard ultras ever seen... The Last Soul Ultra. Ello ran 93 loops (623.7km) over 4 days, battling Achilles issues, sleep deprivation, hallucinations, and an intense head-to-head rivalry with Mark Dowdle that went viral around the world. This was such a great chat and so so interesting to get inside the head of one of the greatest endurance runners in the world at the moment.Ello: https://www.instagram.com/anotherello/?hl=en

DOUBLE OLYMPIC CHAMPION🤯🥇Not only one of the most decorated triathletes of all time, he’s a hero for many and was part of the iconic Team GB in 2008, 2012 & 2016 👏🏼. Alistair gave us one of the most iconic, heartwarming & controversial moments on endurance sport when he dragged his brother Jonny at the world championships over the line. If you were to have told that young lad watching the 2012 Olympics that he’d be one day chatting with a man who won gold I would have laughed at you. Incredible chat, absolutely loved that 🙌🏼

Épisode 51
jeudi 16 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:06:28
Emily Fairs is back on the pod! This week we catch up on her Saucony 10K race, break down whether an ultramarathon or a 10K is actually harder, and talk about drinking and training through the summer with no guilt.
We also dig into the impossible standard female creators are held to. Emily reads out a comment accusing her of losing weight and we unpack why she "can't win" no matter what she posts.
And if that wasn't enough, we touch on the Meta glasses consent controversy, London Marathon's new two-day format, and why delusion and optimism might be the secret to achieving anything.
