In this episode, I sit down with Watto to explore the deeper meaning of movement and the role it’s played throughout his life. From growing up in Ireland, where the weather and environment often restricted activity, to discovering the freedom and outdoor lifestyle of Australia, we unpack how place and culture can completely reshape your relationship with movement.

Watto shares how movement has been more than just exercise. It has been a source of fuel, discipline, and even healing through tough times. We dive into the environments that shape us, from joining a run club to leading one, and how ultra running became more than just a physical challenge, offering purpose and perspective far beyond the finish line.

We talk gratitude, positivity, and what it really means to be a product of your environment. Watto reflects on the community and sense of belonging movement has given him, as well as the tough question: what actually is Watto's why for his One Hundred Mile Ultra.

This conversation is about so much more than sport or fitness... it’s about identity, resilience, and the power of movement to transform our lives.
