  In this solo episode, Tommy explores the complex relationship between running and the internet. As a runner of 12 years who once kept his miles private and offline, he reflects on how much the running world has changed with the rise of apps, social media, and constant connectivity. Starting with the downsides such as comparison culture, curated identities, and data obsession, he unpacks the ways online life can quietly distort the joy of running. Tommy also speaks to the unexpected gifts of the digital age including connection, knowledge, opportunity, and the ability to share the beauty of the sport. A thoughtful take on the past, present, and future of running in the online world.--------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.

• #37 - What happened to Tommy this week?

  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 - Brian (Wolfie) Peterson - Tribalism in Endurance Culture: Why do runners dislike those who don't fit the mold?

  Why does the running world get so uncomfortable when a “gym bro” signs up for an ultra? In this episode, Tommy is joined by Brian Peterson - host of Wolfie’s World on Borderlands - for a provocative and thoughtful conversation about tribalism in endurance culture, the stereotypes we attach to strength athletes, and why we need to rid the sport of this gatekeeping!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.You can check out Wolfie's World on the Borderlands Podcast and follow Brian on Instagram @wolffrunner--------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.

• #35 - How to care less about other people's opinions

  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.This is an episode for the overthinkers and anyone trying to move through the world with more freedom and less fear.--------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)---------SUBMIT A QUESTION: If you want to submit your own burning question, or a topic you think would be interesting to discuss on a future episode, record a short voice note, We'd would love to hear from you :)Buy Me a Coffee ☕️: If you'd like to support Tommy directly and offer some small financial support, you can buy him a coffee ❤️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

• #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
