| #24 - 3 Pillars for Longevity in Running | 07 Mar 2025 | 00:54:00 | |
Want to keep running strong for years without constantly battling injuries? In this episode, Tommy breaks down three key pillars of longevity in running: Strength, Mobility, and Balance - and why ignoring them will eventually catch up with you. Tommy shares his own journey from being an injury-prone runner who thought gunning it every time was the key to improvement, to realising that staying in the game for the long haul was really his aim and it would take a smarter, more mature approach. He dives into why strength training makes you a more durable runner, how mobility is the secret to smoother, more efficient movement, and why balance is the most underrated skill that could be holding you back. Whether you're a trail runner, road warrior, or just want to keep moving pain-free, this episode is packed with practical advice you can use in your own training and day to day, or perhaps just get you thinking about three of the most neglected components of being a resilient and long lasting runner. ------ TENZING Natural Energy - Natural, effective and tasty.

Tommy sits down with ultra runner, writer, and creative Josh Lynott for a wide-ranging, light-hearted, and honest chat about running, creativity, and showing up authentically in a crowded space. From the power of vulnerability in the creative process to navigating online noise, we dive into what it means to express your true self, whether on the trail, on the page, or on social media. We talk about the value of shipping your work, ditching perfectionism, and the often messy beauty of just taking action. This isn’t your typical interview. It’s the start of something new. We’re trialling a recurring feature on the podcast where Josh and Tommy sit down each month to riff on all things running, trail, and creativity. We're (tentatively) calling it “That’s Notable” - a space for off-the-cuff ideas, honest reflections, and a bit of fun. Josh is the author of A Note to the Runners - a book of 42.2 poems written for runners, adventurers, and anyone searching for meaning in motion. You can check it out here.

Explore the crucial difference between pain and suffering and why that distinction matters so much in training, racing, and life. Pain is the raw sensation. Suffering is the story we tell ourselves about it.

| #37 - What happened to Tommy this week? | 15 May 2025 | 00:35:33 | |
Sometimes we need to be slapped around by life to truly learn. In this one, Tommy reflects on his week of dealing with a persistent and, at times, debilitating headache, his trip to A&E to seek a diagnosis, collapsing at home, and the reality check of health scares. He touches on the dangers of pushing too hard when you just shouldn't, why he feels motivated to do so (both positively and negatively), and how even a minor scare on a wednesday afternoon can have you reflecting deeply on the important things. -------- That's Runnable Website: Find out more about That's Runnable and the Coaching Hub -------- INOV8 is a renowned sports brand based in the mighty fells of the Lake District.

| #36 - [Guest] Brian (Wolfie) Peterson - Tribalism in Endurance Culture: Why do runners dislike those who don't fit the mold? | 12 May 2025 | 01:08:31 | |
Why does the running world get so uncomfortable when a “gym bro” signs up for an ultra? Together, they unpack the tension between ultra-running’s gritty, minimalist identity and the bold, often aesthetic-driven gym culture that some fear is encroaching on the sport. They discuss the benefits of strength training, the roots of anti-gym sentiment in the running world, and public figures like Nick Bare and William Goodge - including Goodge’s controversial FKT attempt across Australia, and why he attracts so much scrutiny. This episode explores ego, insecurity, and the unconscious gatekeeping that exists in both running and gym communities. Expect hot takes, honest reflection, and plenty to chew on - whether you lift heavy, run long, or both.

| #35 - How to care less about other people's opinions | 08 May 2025 | 00:33:11 | |
Recorded from a local public park, Tommy shows he’s not immune to worrying what people think either. Whether it's lacing up for a run, filming a reel, or shifting careers from corporate to coaching, that voice of doubt is always there. This isn’t just about running - it’s about identity, vulnerability, and showing up even when you feel ridiculous. Tommy shares personal stories, from awkward public filming to the fear of posting online, and offers honest reflections and practical tools for anyone who’s ever felt too self-conscious to begin.

| #34 - [Guest] Ben Brimmer - Reflections on MIUT 115 | 02 May 2025 | 00:48:23 | |
This one picks up right after the race. Brim made it through the night, through the day and into the second night. Having climbed 4 mountains, travelled ~100km and climbed and descended 6500m, his gut took drivers seat and started dictating his race. Tommy was there when it happened and saw first hand the lengths Brim continues to push in the sport he adores. A week later, Brim and Tommy sat down to chat about the whole experience. From the physical to the emotional, they unpack what it’s like to DNF after giving everything, what went wrong with nutrition, what went right, and how he’s processing it all now. Although there was no finish line this time, this is not a story of failure, this is a story of massive progress, of Personal Records and triumph over an issue that would force 99% of ultra runners to quit the sport, but not Brim. It’s a real, human one. They talk disappointment, reflection, reframing failure to see it as something to fire you up, and the quiet resilience it takes to keep showing up. If you've ever fallen short of a big goal, this one will hit home. -------- That's Runnable Website: Find out more about That's Runnable and the Coaching Hub RUNNABLE20 for 20% OFF your first month :) ----------- Devil's Gulch: find out more about the race that promises to be Tommy's first 100 miler attempt.

| #33 - The Importance of Failure: MIUT 115 | Lessons from a DNF | 01 May 2025 | 00:39:55 | |
After months of training and high hopes for MIUT 115, Tommy DNF’d just 26km into the race following an ankle sprain. In this raw and reflective solo episode, he shares the story behind what felt like his first real DNF - what happened, how it felt, and why it might be the most important race he didn’t finish. But this isn’t just a race recap. It’s a deeper conversation about failure, identity, self-imposed pressure, and the fire that comes when things don’t go to plan. Tommy explores why desire matters more than perfection, why predictable stories don’t inspire us, and how this experience has sharpened his focus heading into Devil’s Gulch. If you’ve ever fallen short of a goal or feared not living up to your own expectations, this one’s for you. -------- That's Runnable Website: Find out more about That's Runnable and the Coaching Hub RUNNABLE20 for 20% OFF your first month :) -------- INOV8 is a renowned sports brand based in the mighty fells of the Lake District.

| #32 - [Guest] Ben Brimmer - Gut Battles, Preparations for MIUT 115, and Forming a Healthy Relationship with the Sport | 25 Apr 2025 | 00:29:26 | |
This one’s a little different. Ben Brimmer is a good mate of Tommy's, and instead of the usual setup, they've recorded this episode out in the mountains - just two friends chatting about running, purpose, and everything in between. Brim opens up about some of the harder chapters of his ultra journey - running to the point of hospitalisation, the burnout that followed, and what it felt like to lose the “why” and regain it again. They went into how Brim has massively overcome his gut issues during endurance efforts and what have the biggest changes to his fuelling strategy on these big mountain efforts. With a better relationship to running, a healthier mindset, and a fresh perspective on what really matters. It’s raw, honest, and full of the kind of reflections you only get when you’re moving through the mountains with a mate. -------- That's Runnable Website: Find out more about That's Runnable and the Coaching Hub RUNNABLE20 for 20% OFF your first month :) ----------- Devil's Gulch: find out more about the race that promises to be Tommy's first 100 miler attempt.

| What I'm most proud of... | 28 Jun 2025 | 00:06:07 | |
Most runners know they should be doing strength work. And when the niggles hit… or progress stalls… they blame their shoes, or their sleep, or tell themselves they just need to try harder. I’ve been there. I’ve coached people through it. And it’s exactly why I became a personal trainer and running coach. If you're tired of guessing your way through training… if you feel disconnected from your body… and you know you need a better structure, more strength, and a clearer reason to keep showing up - this is for you. If you want help turning that around, everything you need to get started is in the link below. Thanks again for your support! 🫶 Click HERE to find out more | |||

| #57 - How to Peak Again: Building Your "Prime 2.0" | 25 Sep 2025 | 00:48:11 | |
Tommy challenges the myth of a single athletic “prime” and reframes it as a practice, not just a performance peak. Drawing on stories of late-blooming ultra runners and the lived reality of training through setbacks, he argues that listeners may not be past their best - and that even if they are, what matters most is showing up. As always, this blends philosophy and practical coaching: running easy to build longevity, touching intensity wisely, lifting the big rocks in the gym, moving well through full ranges, eating like recovery matters, and treating rest as training. Tommy also explores how aging athletes often become kinder and find more joy once they loosen their grip on performance and tighten their grip on process. You are invited to build “Prime 2.0” with sustainable habits and a lighter ego. For a deeper dive, he points to Episode 5—Five Principles of Running Sustainably - and the FREE PDF linked below! ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ FREE 5 Principles of Running Sustainably PDF ⬅️ ⬅️ ⬅️
