Regular listeners will know that we often steer an impulsive path on this podcast. It’s about running, by runners but for more than runners. And this week Paul and James got into a conversation about purpose, goals and motivation.

There was some deep digging done on questions such as, “did I choose this life?” and “Why I am doing this?”

Also always with the Pylon Ultra podcast we really want athletes and listeners to take time think about the learning we as hosts are going through alongside our listeners and in this podcast you will hear both Paul and James drop a couple of ‘a ha’ moments and realisation lands on how they feel about their journey to now.

They tackle the contradiction of winning and records against ego and identity. Are they in harmony, do they need to be? And what does a future look like where self, goals and ambition is wrapped up in the underlying theme of this episode; the distinction between self-awareness, intelligence and wisdom.

Be wise, listen to this podcast. It may just make you more intelligent. Or maybe not.
