EP57 - I’d Rather Set Myself on Fire Than DNF


Listen Later

Fell running culture, ultra racing, DNFs, identity loss, and rebuilding from injury.In EP57 of RUNcensored, Gary House and Ben Mounsey are joined by Ellis Bland of VÅGA for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had to date. 


From racing Borrowdale and Wasdale to beating Rob Hope with a 4:42 final mile, Ellis talks fell running legends, club vests, pub banter, and why fell running is built differently. We get into ultra success, the fear of DNF’ing, spinal injury, body dysmorphia, and the moment Ellis had to accept he might never run again.


There’s also some mention of VÅGA, supporting athletes quietly, and why sometimes the best runs never make the headlines.


Unfiltered, reflective, and very real.
