   #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…

   #94 [Guest] Rachel Entrekin - Logic Over Limiting Beliefs

   Rachel Entrekin is HER! Having recently broken the course record at Cocodona 250 and becoming the first woman to win outright, she has flown into long-awaited global recognition. And there is no better role model to be at the top of the sport of ultra running right now. In this conversation, Tommy chats with Rachel about challenging limiting beliefs, race day narrative control, facing yourself in hard moments, the strange realities of succeeding as a woman, ultra running as both an art and a science, and the importance of self care.

   #93 - Why Both Discipline and Compassion Matter

   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…

    #86 - [Guest] Hugo Fry - Fast, Funny and No Filter

    Hugo Fry is a 2:17 marathoner, a 63-minute half marathon runner, a sub-30 10K runner, a desert ultra winner, and somehow, none of that is the most interesting thing about him. Tommy sits down with Hugo in London for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually looks like to build an audience as a runner, why racing more often is probably the best content strategy, and how Hugo manages to be genuinely elite without ever taking himself too seriously. They get into the backyard ultra world, Hugo's chaotic race calendar, and why structure might be the real secret to performing at a high…
