from Someone's gotta do it · host Callan

In episode twelve of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Callum Townsend. Callum has been doubted so many times and has always proved that you can do whatever you put your mind to.He talks about growing up in Australia and England, convincing himself he'd get into Cambridge University despite everyone around him saying otherwise, failing his Marines fitness test and coming back to pass it as one of the top recruits, running a 2.33 marathon and leaving his dream job as a firefighter to build a coaching business helping endurance athletes push beyond what they think is possible.This one is about what happens when you simply refuse to accept your own limitations. You can find Callum’s coaching page on instagram @peakperformanceinduranceYou can follow us on social media for behind the scenes content;Instagram - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastTikTok - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastFacebook - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastYouTube - SomeonesgottadoitpodAll feedback and guest suggestions welcomed! - [email protected] like and subscribeThis episode is sponsored by two-putts - www.two-putts.comUse discount code ’SGDI’ for 15% off your order
