This one’s a little different. Ben Brimmer is a good mate of Tommy's, and instead of the usual setup, they've recorded this episode out in the mountains -  just two friends chatting about running, purpose, and everything in between.

Brim opens up about some of the harder chapters of his ultra journey - running to the point of hospitalisation, the burnout that followed, and what it felt like to lose the “why” and regain it again.

They went into how Brim has massively overcome his gut issues during endurance efforts and what have the biggest changes to his fuelling strategy on these big mountain efforts. With a better relationship to running, a healthier mindset, and a fresh perspective on what really matters.

It’s raw, honest, and full of the kind of reflections you only get when you’re moving through the mountains with a mate.

Josh and Tommy are back together for the second time. This time with more structure.
There's a "show & tell" with Tommy's new favourite purchase for his upcoming race, and a hot discussion topic from Josh on the return of Katie Schide and Germain Grangier to the On trail team.
Both bring some thought provoking questions about running, trails, social media and what's good for us.

This one’s for you - the listeners, the question-askers, the curious minds behind the 250,000+ streams, 30 episodes, 12.5K subscribers/followers, and the frankly outrageous 4.9/5 ratings across Spotify and Apple. Thank you for being part of this.

In this episode, Tommy dives into a massive backlog of listener questions. Some he answers quickly, others he rambles on a bit. Think training structure, strength splits, rest days, VO2 max (or lack of interest in it), mental toughness, post-ultra meals, and whether all Tommy's shoes are low-drop. 

If you’ve enjoyed That’s Runnable so far, here’s how you can support it:

• Rate the pod
• Leave a comment
• Share it with a mate (ideally one who’ll like it)
• Hit follow/subscribe
• Or go one step further: check out the coaching hub, grab some content, or just chuck a coffee my way if you’re feeling generous.

Your support helps keep this thing moving.

Explore the crucial difference between pain and suffering and why that distinction matters so much in training, racing, and life. Pain is the raw sensation. Suffering is the story we tell ourselves about it. Drawing from both research and real-world examples (including the kitchen floor, gym sessions, and lonely ultras), Tommy shares practical tools to reframe discomfort and lean into it with more awareness, less resistance, and a lot more power.

Tommy got his first DNF (Did Not Finish) this weekend at Lone Wolf South East. What happened? Did he injure himself? Has it ruined his path to 100 miles this summer? Or did he make the right call early enough? Find out on this episode as he recounts his training leading up to the race in the months, weeks and days prior, and talks though the event itself.

We also have our second edition of RunBiz, this time with Lee Proctor of INOV8, where we talk about INOV8's origin story, what Fell Running actually is, and where INOV8 is focused in the coming months.

The RunBiz Segment is an occasional feature on That’s Runnable, where we spotlight the businesses shaping the world of running. From innovative startups to established brands doing something different, this segment is all about showcasing the gear, nutrition, technology, and services that runners might find interesting.

Tommy will chat with founders, team members, and industry insiders - not for a sales pitch, but for a real conversation about what they’re building, why it matters, and how it fits into the running world. Whether it’s a niche brand with a cult following or a fresh idea making waves, RunBiz is here to give listeners a look behind the scenes at the businesses fuelling our sport.

Tommy sits down with ultra runner, writer, and creative Josh Lynott for a wide-ranging, light-hearted, and honest chat about running, creativity, and showing up authentically in a crowded space.

From the power of vulnerability in the creative process to navigating online noise, we dive into what it means to express your true self, whether on the trail, on the page, or on social media. We talk about the value of shipping your work, ditching perfectionism, and the often messy beauty of just taking action.

This isn’t your typical interview. It’s the start of something new.

We’re trialling a recurring feature on the podcast where Josh and Tommy sit down each month to riff on all things running, trail, and creativity. We're (tentatively) calling it “That’s Notable” - a space for off-the-cuff ideas, honest reflections, and a bit of fun.

Josh is the author of A Note to the Runners - a book of 42.2 poems written for runners, adventurers, and anyone searching for meaning in motion. You can check it out here.

In this deeply personal and unmissable episode, Tommy revisits the story behind how running, strength, and mindfulness became his anchors during the most challenging period of his life. Through raw storytelling and honest reflection, he shares how discovering the feedback loop of mindful movement, the intersection of running, strength, and presence, transformed not just his training, but his entire outlook on life.

This philosophy is at the heart of That’s Runnable, shaping both the Coaching Hub and the future of this podcast. Tommy also gives listeners a sneak peek at what's to come, from the ethos behind the coaching platform to the direction of future episodes.

Plus, this episode introduces RunBiz, a brand new segment exploring businesses shaping the running world. In its first instalment, Tommy sits down with Lewis Allison, Founder & CEO of UNA Watch, a challenger GPS watch company disrupting the industry with its modular, consumer-first design.

Find out more about UNA and their Kickstarter campaign HERE!

As usual, we finish with some listener questions, this time covering everything from shoe rotations to using poles in training and staying motivated when the grind gets tough.

This is one of those episodes that will hit home for anyone who’s ever used running as a way to find themselves. Vulnerable, insightful, and packed with value - don’t miss it.

Host Tommy speaks with Michelle Goldberg and Heidi Baker from the Let’s Run That Again Podcast to explore the world of ultra running, adventure, and race preparation. Both Heidi and Tommy are training for Devil’s Gulch 100 miler by Evergreen Trails in July, while Michelle is preparing for the monumental Cocodona 250.

The conversation covers the physical and mental challenges of ultra running, the problems with Strava culture, and the importance of maintaining a grateful mindset in endurance sports. They discuss training strategies, race-day expectations, and the highs and lows of pushing physical limits in long-distance events.

This episode offers valuable insights for trail runners, endurance athletes, and anyone fascinated by the mental resilience required for ultra distances.

Want to keep running strong for years without constantly battling injuries? In this episode, Tommy breaks down three key pillars of longevity in running: Strength, Mobility, and Balance - and why ignoring them will eventually catch up with you.

Tommy shares his own journey from being an injury-prone runner who thought gunning it every time was the key to improvement, to realising that staying in the game for the long haul was really his aim and it would take a smarter, more mature approach. He dives into why strength training makes you a more durable runner, how mobility is the secret to smoother, more efficient movement, and why balance is the most underrated skill that could be holding you back.

Whether you're a trail runner, road warrior, or just want to keep moving pain-free, this episode is packed with practical advice you can use in your own training and day to day, or perhaps just get you thinking about three of the most neglected components of being a resilient and long lasting runner.
