Ever wondered what it’d be like to take the Ring to Mordor?
Tommy chats with trail runner James Norbury, who did exactly that - dressed as a hobbit, alongside his friend Alex, on a unique mission to blend adventure with fun. James dives into the highs and lows of the journey, the importance of not taking yourself too seriously, and why joy should always be at the heart of running. From epic trails to unexpected challenges, this is a conversation about adventure, playfulness, and the magic that happens when you stop worrying about pace and start enjoying your surroundings.
