Description

Welcome to the very first instalment of Couch to Coached Gold — where we dive back into our most memorable moments from the early days of the podcast.


This week, we revisit an absolute classic: Rob and Ben’s conversation with Olympian Chris “Thommo” Thompson.

Thommo brings his trademark energy, honesty, and humour as he talks about the emotional rollercoaster of elite running, the realities behind Olympic preparation, and what keeps him motivated after years at the top level.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just lacing up for the first time, Thommo’s insights will leave you inspired, laughing, and maybe even ready to push a little harder on your next run.

A golden throwback with a true legend of the sport. Enjoy!
