Welcome back to consecutive day 1842 of my runpreneur journey! In this deeply personal episode, I take you inside the bizarre and often misunderstood mindset of an endurance runner. From surviving ultramarathons and marathons to reflecting on the physical and mental battles faced on the road and trail, I share the pain, the struggle, and the strangely addictive satisfaction that keeps us lacing up for more. Whether you’re curious about what drives someone to repeatedly push mind, body, and soul to their limits—or you’ve found yourself signing up for your next big race despite the anguish of the last—this episode will resonate.

I talk through my recent experiences at the Overrunning Festival, marathons in Manchester and Edinburgh, and what compels endurance runners (myself included) to seek out these extreme challenges time and again. Plus, I explain the analogy between marathon running and childbirth, highlighting how certain experiences in life are impossible to understand until you’ve truly lived them. Dive in for honest reflections, lessons learnt, and a candid look at why pain is sometimes just part of the addictive process.
