Paddy ‘Dark Horse’ Haynes: Marathon Man to England’s Strongest Man
This week on The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Eddie is joined by one of the most athletic strongmen on the scene: Paddy Haynes.
From humble beginnings working on the family farm, to excelling in athletics at school, Paddy’s journey to strongman is a unique one. A serious marathon runner-turned-strongman is not the usual story, but it shows the determination and focus of an athlete committed to a goal.
Finishing in 5th place or above in every competition entered in 2025, and 1st at Englands Strongest Man proves Paddy has the physical strength; but overcoming a shocking diagnosis of Lyme disease exposes the mental resilience of a man destined to become one of the world’s greatest strength athletes to ever live.
