About the show

Built on the mantra “run the runnable,” this show is about what’s possible rather than the pressure of perfection. We embrace an accessible, light-hearted, and sustainable way of training and racing - welcoming runners of all abilities to join the adventure. Inspired by nature and the freedom of the outdoors, we marry our laid-back approach to running with a tenacious desire to push the limits of what’s possible. We prioritise community, inclusivity, and a balanced way to run, encouraging everyone to embrace their own version of what’s “runnable.” That’s Runnable is here to inspire you to enjoy the run while building a friendly and supportive community around the sport.

#116 [Guest] Dr Chris Gunn - Sport Phycologist debunks “toughness” for ultra runners

1 hr 18 min

Dr Chris Gunn is a Sport Psychologist who’s built his career on understanding why some athletes reach their potential and others don’t. He’s a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society, a Senior Lecturer in Psychology and a published researcher on self-control and motivation in endurance sport. His PhD focused on the “desire-goal conflict”, and he now works with runners, triathletes and cyclists across the UK. In this episode, Tommy and Chris take apart the idea of “toughness” in ultra running. Chris explains why ignoring pain, thinking positive and gritting your teeth aren’t the answer, and why psychological flexibility is: noticing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without letting them decide what you do next. They also cover living out your values in hard moments, tracking your “brain macros” in training, alter egos (meet Tough Knuckles), and how small wins build real confidence. Want to pre-order Chris’s book? The Conflict: A Psychologist’s Guide to Endurance is out 1st December.

#114 That’s Notable Ep12 - Meeting Eliud Kipchoge, Unofficial Stage Races & Trends of Outrage

1 hr 32 min

Tommy and Josh Lynott are back for episode 12 of That’s Notable. Josh shares the story of Notes from France, his running and writing retreat at the foot of the Pyrenees. Tommy looks back on going under 29 hours at Nice Côte D’Azur by UTMB and gets ready for a six-day, 330km Ultra-X stage race. The pair then ask why runners are turning marathon weekends into unofficial stage races, and whether people would still do it without social media. They also dig into “trends of outrage” online: why reacting fast seems to beat thinking for yourself, and why talking in person might be the fix. Josh also met Eliud Kipchoge, and he shares what he learned about Kipchoge’s three daily journals, which “help him respect time.” Plus a safari hat, a self-portrait, and the case for doing more with a pen.

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

1 hr 12 min

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 money for mental health charity Still I Run.

#107 [Guest] Brady Nankervis - Backyard Ultra Debut Record Holder

57 min

Brady Nankervis joins Tommy not long after his remarkable backyard ultra debut, where he completed 68 yards, earned a place on the Australian team, and discovered just how deeply he was willing to suffer. They explore sleep deprivation, hallucinations, mental resilience and why sharing the burden may be a greater sign of strength than staying silent. Brady also opens up about leaving a secure career, repeatedly failing, building an audience and learning to back himself. A raw conversation about hard things, self-belief, and finding out who you really are when quitting feels like the easiest option.

#106 [Guest] Brian (Wolfie) Peterson - Is the Culture of Ultra Running Under Threat

1 hr 16 min

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. They unpack the recent controversy surrounding Sage Canaday, Cam Hanes, banned peptides and clean sport. Together, they explore whether the argument is really about doping or whether it reveals a deeper divide within the running community. They discuss online tribalism, public callouts, the professionalisation of ultra running and whether a sport built on freedom, honesty and shared suffering can retain its identity as more money, attention and regulation enter the space.

#97 - The Secret to Discipline No One Tells You

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

1 hr 15 min

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 why presence and gratitude have become Kilian's most reliable tools, both in racing and in recovering from ankle surgery. They also talk about the commercialisation of ultra running, the politics and tribalism creeping into trail running culture, and what actually unites runners once you strip away the noise of social media.

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

1 hr 32 min

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

43 min

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.

#92 - Can running make you MORE stressed?

40 min

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 body doesn't distinguish between different types of stress, how running can both help and hinder our wellbeing, and why learning to tune into your own stress levels is one of the most important skills any runner can develop. Whether you're training for your first 10K, an ultra marathon, or simply trying to balance running with a busy life, this episode will help you better understand the true cost of training and how to avoid turning something you love into another source of overwhelm. --- Today’s Sponsor INOV8 - Use this link to get 15% OFF NEW!

#91 - Stop Choosing Between Performance and Happiness

31 min

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 may actually improve long-term performance. This episode is a reminder that you can train hard, chase goals, and care about improvement without losing sight of the deeper reasons you run in the first place.

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

1 hr 20 min

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 level. Hugo's perspective on running is refreshing in the best way. He trains hard, races hard, and doesn't wrap his identity in the numbers. In a space full of people shouting about their splits, that's rarer than it should be.

Favourite meals/recipes? What’s the difference between pain and injury?

#79 - The Dangers of Data Obsession (and Why Your Watch Might Be Ruining Running)

1 hr 1 min

Join Tommy to explore one of the biggest shifts in modern running: our obsession with data. Running used to be simple. You put on a pair of shoes, headed out the door, and judged the run by how it felt. But somewhere along the way watches, Strava, VO2 max scores, heart rate graphs and endless metrics began to take over. In this episode Tommy follows the story of an everyday runner who slowly falls into the trap of letting numbers define his runs. He breaks down why many of the metrics runners obsess over aren’t nearly as important as they think, why wearable tech estimates are often misleading, and how the constant comparison culture of Strava can quietly erode the joy of running. This is not an attack on data. Data can be useful. But when numbers start replacing experience, something important is lost. If you’ve ever finished a run that felt great… only to feel disappointed when you saw the numbers on your watch, this episode is for you. A conversation about running, freedom, and remembering why we started in the first place. --- Today’s Sponsor: INOV8 - USE THIS LINK to claim your discount!

Tommy chats with Alex Hermansson (@herm.runs). It’s a conversation that feels like a genuine exhale in the modern running world. Herm is a breath of fresh air.

If you’ve ever felt slightly out of place in running culture, or quietly resisted doing things “the right way,” this one will land. --- SUMS: Go to sumsclub.co.uk and use the code RUNNABLE at check out to get the third pair of beautiful socks in your checkout basket for FREE!

#71 - Passion vs Obsession: Running For The Long Run

50 min

Running has been the dominant force in Tommy’s life for years. Ultra running, structured training, and long-term goals have provided purpose, direction, and meaning — and it remains something he takes seriously. In this episode, Tommy reflects on the fine line between passion and obsession, and explores whether total commitment to running always protects that relationship, or whether it can sometimes quietly wear it down. He speaks honestly about the feeling of it all becoming a bit much, the desire to explore other interests without guilt, and why this year he’s taking a more psychologically relaxed approach to something he still cares deeply about. This episode isn’t about doing less. It’s about staying in love with running.

#70 - [Guest] Jack Faint, Running India with a Brain Tumour

1 hr 20 min

Jack Faint reflects on being diagnosed with a brain tumour in his mid-twenties while living in Australia - a moment that completely changed the trajectory of his life. What followed was a deep period of questioning, exploration, and responsibility for how he wanted to live. That path has since led him to run the length of India, raising tens of thousands (£) for cancer charities. In this episode, Tommy and Jack talk life, choice, responding to bad news, the mind–body connection, alternative medicine, and what it really means to move forward when nothing goes to plan.
