Hugo Fry is a 2:17 marathoner, a 63-minute half marathon runner, a sub-30 10K runner, a desert ultra winner, and somehow, none of that is the most interesting thing about him.Tommy sits down with Hugo in London for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually looks like to build an audience as a runner, why racing more often is probably the best content strategy, and how Hugo manages to be genuinely elite without ever taking himself too seriously. They get into the backyard ultra world, Hugo's chaotic race calendar, and why structure might be the real secret to performing at a high level. Hugo's perspective on running is refreshing in the best way. He trains hard, races hard, and doesn't wrap his identity in the numbers. In a space full of people shouting about their splits, that's rarer than it should be.Follow Hugo in Instagram: @hugo.fryJOIN THAT’S RUNNABLE COACHING HUB and build sustainable running habits that last a lifetime! ➡️ JOIN NOW! ⬅️ New intake every month!---Today’s Sponsor: INOV8 - USE THIS LINK to claim your discount!---FREE STUFF:➡️ 5 KEY PRINCIPLES OF RUNNING SUSTAINABLY ⬅️ - A PDF on the most important fundamental principles of running in a way that prioritised longevity.

Join Tommy as he celebrates 80 Episodes with listener questions. To begin, he opens with a reflection on how to “follow your dreams” when you don’t know what they are. What do you do when you know you don’t want to be where you are right now, but you don’t know where you do want to be?Questions from listeners include: how often should you change shoes? Favourite meals/recipes? What’s the difference between pain and injury? How do you manage illness disruption to training? and What are the best post run recovery routines?---Today’s Sponsor: INOV8 - USE THIS LINK to claim your discount!JOIN THAT’S RUNNABLE COACHING HUB and build sustainable running habits that last a lifetime! ➡️ JOIN NOW! ⬅️ New intake every month!---FREE STUFF:➡️ 5 KEY PRINCIPLES OF RUNNING SUSTAINABLY ⬅️ - A PDF on the most important fundamental principles of running in a way that prioritised longevity.

Join Tommy to explore one of the biggest shifts in modern running: our obsession with data.Running used to be simple. You put on a pair of shoes, headed out the door, and judged the run by how it felt. But somewhere along the way watches, Strava, VO2 max scores, heart rate graphs and endless metrics began to take over.In this episode Tommy follows the story of an everyday runner who slowly falls into the trap of letting numbers define his runs. He breaks down why many of the metrics runners obsess over aren’t nearly as important as they think, why wearable tech estimates are often misleading, and how the constant comparison culture of Strava can quietly erode the joy of running.This is not an attack on data. Data can be useful. But when numbers start replacing experience, something important is lost.If you’ve ever finished a run that felt great… only to feel disappointed when you saw the numbers on your watch, this episode is for you.A conversation about running, freedom, and remembering why we started in the first place.---Today’s Sponsor: INOV8 - USE THIS LINK to claim your discount!JOIN THAT’S RUNNABLE COACHING HUB and build sustainable running habits that last a lifetime! ➡️ JOIN NOW! ⬅️ New intake every month!---FREE STUFF:➡️ 5 KEY PRINCIPLES OF RUNNING SUSTAINABLY ⬅️ - A PDF on the most important fundamental principles of running in a way that prioritised longevity.

Tommy chats with Alex Hermansson (@herm.runs). It’s a conversation that feels like a genuine exhale in the modern running world.Herm is a breath of fresh air. Someone who clearly loves running for what it is. Together, they talk about doing running your way, expressing yourself through movement, and resisting the pressure to follow the status quo or fit neatly into whatever version of “runner” is currently trending.It’s a conversation about individuality, creativity, and choosing a relationship with running that feels honest, sustainable, and true to who you are.If you’ve ever felt slightly out of place in running culture, or quietly resisted doing things “the right way,” this one will land.---SUMS: Go to sumsclub.co.uk and use the code RUNNABLE at check out to get the third pair of beautiful socks in your checkout basket for FREE!

Running has been the dominant force in Tommy’s life for years. Ultra running, structured training, and long-term goals have provided purpose, direction, and meaning — and it remains something he takes seriously.In this episode, Tommy reflects on the fine line between passion and obsession, and explores whether total commitment to running always protects that relationship, or whether it can sometimes quietly wear it down.He speaks honestly about the feeling of it all becoming a bit much, the desire to explore other interests without guilt, and why this year he’s taking a more psychologically relaxed approach to something he still cares deeply about.This episode isn’t about doing less. It’s about staying in love with running.

Sit down with Drew Jonkmans - ultra-endurance adventurer, mental-health advocate and a guy who refuses to let the plan define the story. His recent project, “Project Endure,” set out to run 1,000 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats and then cycle the same route back, all in service of raising funds for two charities: Bigmoose (fast-access therapy for those in crisis) and BecomingX Foundation (life-skills for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds).BUT, it didn’t go according to plan. The terrain, the weather, the body and mind all pushed in directions he hadn’t fully scripted. And that’s what made it beautiful. Because the story became less about “mission accomplished” and more about “mission evolving.”Drew talks openly about what happens when goals falter, how running became his path back from a dark place, and why the real win is often in how we respond when things don’t go our way.To donate to Drew’s challenge, go to:https://www.projectendure.co.uk/---SUMS: SUMS is out to elevate trail culture through specialty products and shared experiences, starting with performance run socks.Get an extra pair when you buy two.

Explore the rise of barefoot and minimal footwear: tracing how it began, what the research actually says, and where common sense fits in.Tommy shares his own story of diving deep into the barefoot movement (yes, including the Altra phase) and how his perspective has evolved from obsession to balance. Backed by scientific studies and a healthy dose of realism, Tommy looks at why people who grow up barefoot tend to have stronger arches, wider feet, and fewer deformities, and what that means for the rest of us.This episode isn’t about convincing you to throw away your shoes, it’s about rethinking your relationship with them.

Tommy challenges the myth of a single athletic “prime” and reframes it as a practice, not just a performance peak. Drawing on stories of late-blooming ultra runners and the lived reality of training through setbacks, he argues that listeners may not be past their best - and that even if they are, what matters most is showing up. As always, this blends philosophy and practical coaching: running easy to build longevity, touching intensity wisely, lifting the big rocks in the gym, moving well through full ranges, eating like recovery matters, and treating rest as training. Tommy also explores how aging athletes often become kinder and find more joy once they loosen their grip on performance and tighten their grip on process.You are invited to build “Prime 2.0” with sustainable habits and a lighter ego.

Having recently bagged the World Record Assist at Dead Cow Gully Backyard Ultra with 118 laps, winning Tarawera Ultra Trail NZ (by UTMB), and many other noteworthy performances, Sam has quickly made a name for himself in the world of elite ultra running over the last few years, and he's showing no signs of slowing down on his mission to continue competing at the highest level. Tommy spoke to Sam about what it takes to keep going when things don't go to plan, focusing on enjoying training and racing and holding ourselves to high standards. ----------- GROUP COACHING!

For the 50th Episode of That's Runnable, Tommy speaks to Monty Purcell. His story is one of hope and redemption from the darkest part of his life. It's a surprisingly relatable story of overcoming addiction, experiencing "rock bottom", of facing the truth, having hard conversations, and seeking help. Monty is raising £10K for CALM (the Campaign Against Living Miserably) by running 10km a day until he reaches this fundraising target. He's on a mission to encourage others like him to talk and to let you know that you're not alone. Thank you to Monty for coming on and sharing your story. Please show your support by offering whatever you can on his JustGiving page here.This episode contains discussions around addiction, suicide, and mental health struggles. If these topics have affected you personally, please take care while listening and know that support is out there.In the UK, you can reach out to CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) at thecalmzone.net for a free, confidential webchat, or call 0800 58 58 58 - open every day from 5PM to midnight.Please remember: you don’t have to go through it alone.We know how heavy things can get. And we know how hard it can be to open up, especially when your mind tells you it won’t help, or that no one will understand. But speaking to someone, even just one person, can start to lift the weight.You don’t have to have the right words. You don’t need to explain everything. Just start where you are.You’re not a burden. You’re not weak. You’re human. And you are worthy of support.

Today, Tommy speaks to his coach Jack Chamberlain on how he went from being an avid skier and seasonal runner to an accomplished elite ultra runner.

But they either: – Don’t know where to start – Don’t have confidence in the gym – Or end up winging it, hoping it helps.And when the niggles hit… or progress stalls… they blame their shoes, or their sleep, or tell themselves they just need to try harder.I’ve been there. I’ve coached people through it. And it’s exactly why I became a personal trainer and running coach.If you're tired of guessing your way through training… if you feel disconnected from your body… and you know you need a better structure, more strength, and a clearer reason to keep showing up - this is for you.If you want help turning that around, everything you need to get started is in the link below.Thanks again for your support! 🫶Click HERE to find out more
