#38 - Archie Whitfield: How Running Helped Me Heal


Listen Later

Archie Whitfield ran all 20 Premier League stadiums in 25 days in memory of his Dad, fundraising for a The Brain Charity. He’s also run to all the stadiums in the Scotland league, the Portuguese league, and even around the whole of Lake Como in Italy. 


In this conversation, we talk about:


  • Processing grief through mission and movement over sitting and talking

  • How to find enjoyment in doing hard things

  • Perspectives on the elitist running culture

  • The insane training required for back-to-back ultras

  • Finding purpose in our dreams in the face of cynicism
