Two years of That’s Runnable! 🎉 To celebrate the podcast’s second birthday, we’re handing the mic over to you with a Q&A with Tommy covering 18 of your questions, from training and racing to kit and the odd curveball. We get into advice for heavier runners and why load tolerance matters more than the number on the scales, how to become the best mountain runner you can be (hills, hills, hills… and systems, systems, systems), and what to focus on in the final weeks before your first 65K ultra. Plus: balancing running with other sports like ultimate frisbee, breaking in new shoes, alcohol and training, why 30-week plans need flexibility, Tommy’s top “apocalypse” strength exercises, making night running a strength, carrying your own nutrition vs. relying on aid stations, how to go sub-24 for 100 miles and more… Thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared and sent questions over the last two years.

Miles Victors once weighed over 200kg and needed a cane to walk. Today, he runs 100 mile ultras in sandals. But losing over 90kg didn’t make the struggles in his head just disappear. Miles joins Tommy to share how a short walk to a pharmacy became the first step towards changing his life, and why a devastating DNF taught him something that finishing never had. They explore emotional eating, depression, the power of small daily actions, and how self acceptance can sit alongside the desire to improve. Plus, the realities of running ultras in sandals and Miles’s 420 mile Utah challenge to raise money for mental health charity Still I Run.
