Description

In this episode, I chat with Ellis Davies about his journey through endurance sports—from the pool to the trails—and how he’s learned to balance the drive to compete with the need to keep running fun. We explore the ways running supports his mental health, the pressures that come with chasing wins, and why sometimes the most important race is the one you run against yourself. Whether you’re an aspiring athlete or just looking for inspiration to find more joy in your own challenges, Ellis’s story is a reminder that it’s possible to push your limits and still love the journey.
