#112 [Guest] Miles Victors - From Walking With a Cane to Running 100 Miles (in sandals!)

Miles Victors once weighed over 200kg and needed a cane to walk. Today, he runs 100 mile ultras in sandals. But losing over 90kg didn’t make the struggles in his head just disappear. Miles joins Tommy to share how a short walk to a pharmacy became the first step towards changing his life, and why a devastating DNF taught him something that finishing never had. They explore emotional eating, depression, the power of small daily actions, and how self acceptance can sit alongside the desire to improve. Plus, the realities of running ultras in sandals and Miles’s 420 mile Utah challenge to raise…

As trail and ultra running continue to grow, are the sport’s culture and values at risk? Tommy is joined by Brian “Wolfie” Peterson to discuss online discourse and how we should try to interact.

There is a beautifully encouraging truth about discipline that many miss. We think of discipline with a harsh tone, that we always need to make the hard decision. And that is somewhat true, but it doesn’t have to feel this way. In today’s solo episode, Tommy opens with a heartfelt email from a Weekly Reframe reader, rounding off the episode with the beautiful truth of discipline that you can begin again every day.

#95 [Guest] Kilian Korth - The Difference Between Failure and Quitting
Kilian Korth swept the Triple Crown of 200s in 2025, becoming the first man to take Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200 and Moab 240 outright in the same season. He also set a new course record at Cocodona 250. But before any of that, his record was three DNFs, a torn hamstring, and a finish at Cocodona that landed him in the ICU. Tommy and Kilian talk about the line between failure and quitting, the difference between self belief and self efficacy, and why letting go of outcomes made Kilian faster, not slower. They get into ego and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we deserve, and…

Explore the two voices that exist inside all of us: the “soft voice” that seeks comfort, safety and rest, and the “hard voice” that demands discipline, resilience pushing. Through the lens of running, training and everyday life, Tommy discusses why both voices are necessary, how both can become dangerous when taken to extremes, and why true wisdom lies in knowing which one deserves your attention and when. This is a conversation about self awareness, balance, ambition, recovery and learning when to push harder and when to pull back. Today’s Sponsor INOV8 - use this link to get 15% OFF ---…

#92 - Can running make you MORE stressed?
Running is often described as one of the best tools for managing stress, improving mental health, and helping us cope with the demands of life. But what happens when the very thing we use to manage stress becomes another source of it? Today, we explore the complicated relationship between running and stress. Although we think of running as an escape, training itself is a stressor. Mileage, intensity, strength training, work, travel, relationships, poor sleep, bad news, financial worry, and life responsibilities all place demands on the same system. In this episode, Tommy discusses why the…

Tommy reflects on the response to the documentary, An Invitation To Run Differently , and explores the relationship between performance, happiness, and perspective in modern running culture. So many runners begin because running brings peace, freedom, confidence, and clarity - only to slowly become consumed by metrics, comparison, optimisation, and pressure. But does enjoying running really mean sacrificing performance? Tommy discusses why enjoyment and ambition are not opposites, how obsession with data can damage your relationship with running, and why presence, gratitude, and perspective…
