Listen Later

In this powerful episode of Run the Riot, we sit down with Sean Rowe—an inspiring ultrarunner who's living proof that transformation is possible at any stage in life.

Sean opens up about his journey from nightclub promoter to endurance athlete, detailing how a health scare at 42 sparked a dramatic lifestyle change. After battling smoking, drinking, and unhealthy habits, Sean committed to fitness, dropped over 90 pounds, and found redemption through running.

We talk about:

  • Sean’s transformation from 305 lbs to ultrarunner.

  • His upcoming solo 100-mile run to raise funds for the Wounded Warrior Project.

  • The role of weightlifting in endurance performance.

  • Lessons learned during his 30-mile fundraiser run.

  • Mental grit and training strategies for going long.

  • The power of faith, purpose, and using your platform to inspire others.

    Sean doesn’t just run—he runs with purpose. And his passion is contagious.


    If you're looking to push your limits, transform your mindset, or simply get inspired by someone who walks the talk, you’ll love this episode.
