Damian Hall | From Late Starter to World Stage | Season 2 Episode 17

Saison 2 · Épisode 17

jeudi 13 novembre 2025 • Durée 54:20

What happens when a simple magazine assignment turns into a lifelong obsession?
This week, we dive into the raw, unexpected journey of one of Britain’s most respected ultrarunners, a man who didn’t start racing until his mid-30s and still climbed his way into the world’s biggest stages.

From discovering running by chance, to taking on 200-mile races, breaking iconic FKTs, and finishing top-10 at UTMB, this is the story of someone who proved that age, timing, and background don’t define your ceiling. Consistency does. Curiosity does. The willingness to keep showing up does.

In this episode, we cover:
✓ How he found ultrarunning at 36
✓ The obsession that pushed him through 268-mile races
✓ Breaking FKTs across the UK
✓ What it takes to race UTMB against the best on Earth
✓ Mental toughness, purpose, and the mindset shifts that changed everything

A grounded, honest look at how far you can go when you stop limiting yourself.

Dream to Reality: Season 1 Finale

Saison 1 · Épisode 51

vendredi 12 septembre 2025 • Durée 31:51

Seven months ago, Pushing Horizons: Step by Step was just a dream. Now, with Season 1 in the books, I look back at the conversations that carried me through my own ultra race.

From Lucy Bartholomew on burnout and resilience, Harvey Lewis on chasing longevity, Megan Eckert on pushing past limits, Eszter Csillag proving it’s never too late, Jessie reminding me that quitting is forever, and Peter Mortimer showing that late starts can still lead to big dreams, every elite taught me something I carried on race day.

But it wasn’t just the legends. Everyday warriors like Dante Dugan, Cody, Lindsey, Harry, Shelby, Jenni, Elesa, Kevin, Angus, Bobby, Milton, Val, James, Bo, Erin, and so many more proved that grit, community, and persistence are what truly push us forward.

This finale isn’t just a recap, it’s my ultra race, told through the voices of Season 1.
