There are some things in life that we carry alone.
Not because we don't have supportive friends or family, but because nobody else can quite carry the weight of something that matters deeply to us.
In this solo episode, I explore the quieter side of commitment. The emotional cost of caring deeply about a race, a business, a creative project, or simply the person we're trying to become.
Drawing on experiences from racing around the world, building Pyllon, creating films and writing, I reflect on why pursuing meaningful things can sometimes feel surprisingly lonely, and why perhaps that's not something to fear, but something to understand.
This isn't really an episode about running.
It's about what running, and other long pursuits, reveal about the way we live.
I hope it resonates.
If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
