• #34 - Brim after the Storm: Reflections on MIUT 115 w/ Ben Brimmer

  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 HubRUNNABLE20 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.With a 10% discount using the code "TOMMY" at checkout, you can join the fun and get involved with a half marathon, 50 miler, or even the 100 miler beast that it is!Dynamic Adventures: if you want to a Backyard-inspired race and get a taste of what it's like to run the same loop as many times as you can, and maybe even go for 24hrs, Dynamic Adventures are hosting another in October.Use the code "RUNNABLE10" for a 10% Discount.Lone Wolf South West (October)---------Find out more about Tommy here and sign up the That's Runnable NewsletterBe sure to leave a rating/review and share the podcast with your mates if you've enjoyed this episode to support the Podcast.Follow That's Runnable on instagram @thatsrunnableFollow Tommy on Instagram: @tommyrunpt & TikTok: @tommyrunpt

• #33 - The Importance of Failure: MIUT 115 | Lessons from a DNF

  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 HubRUNNABLE20 for 20% OFF your first month :)--------INOV8 is a renowned sports brand based in the mighty fells of the Lake District.

• #32 - Ben Brimmer on Gut Battles, Preparations for MIUT 115, and Forming a Healthy Relationship with the Sport

  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 HubRUNNABLE20 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.With a 10% discount using the code "TOMMY" at checkout, you can join the fun and get involved with a half marathon, 50 miler, or even the 100 miler beast that it is!Dynamic Adventures: if you want to a Backyard-inspired race and get a taste of what it's like to run the same loop as many times as you can, and maybe even go for 24hrs, Dynamic Adventures are hosting another in October.Use the code "RUNNABLE10" for a 10% Discount.Lone Wolf South West (October)---------Find out more about Tommy here and sign up the That's Runnable NewsletterBe sure to leave a rating/review and share the podcast with your mates if you've enjoyed this episode to support the Podcast.Follow That's Runnable on instagram @thatsrunnableFollow Tommy on Instagram: @tommyrunpt & TikTok: @tommyrunpt
