That's Runnable

Join Tommy for a hike as he reflects (perhaps a bit prematurely) on the 100 episode milestone and some lessons made all the more clear by diving into this medium.
Next week will be a race recap from Eiger Trail E101, then we’ll have a special Q&A for Episode 100 so please submit any questions you have with the link below :)

There is a beautifully encouraging truth about discipline that many miss. We think of discipline with a harsh tone, that we always need to make the hard decision. And that is somewhat true, but it doesn’t have to feel this way.

In today’s solo episode, Tommy opens with a heartfelt email from a Weekly Reframe reader, rounding off the episode with the beautiful truth of discipline that you can begin again every day.

In just over two weeks, Tommy gets to his first 100KM+ Ultra trail race since summer last year. 
These are his Top 3 Priorities for the race. Three fundamental goals that should be applied to every race, but Tommy’s not got right in his last few events.

Kilian Korth swept the Triple Crown of 200s in 2025, becoming the first man to take Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200 and Moab 240 outright in the same season. He also set a new course record at Cocodona 250. But before any of that, his record was three DNFs, a torn hamstring, and a finish at Cocodona that landed him in the ICU.
Tommy and Kilian talk about the line between failure and quitting, the difference between self belief and self efficacy, and why letting go of outcomes made Kilian faster, not slower. They get into ego and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we deserve, and why presence and gratitude have become Kilian's most reliable tools, both in racing and in recovering from ankle surgery.
They also talk about the commercialisation of ultra running, the politics and tribalism creeping into trail running culture, and what actually unites runners once you strip away the noise of social media.

Rachel Entrekin is HER! Having recently broken the course record at Cocodona 250 and becoming the first woman to win outright, she has flown into long-awaited global recognition. And there is no better role model to be at the top of the sport of ultra running right now.

In this conversation, Tommy chats with Rachel about challenging limiting beliefs, race day narrative control, facing yourself in hard moments, the strange realities of succeeding as a woman, ultra running as both an art and a science, and the importance of self care.
