In this episode, we speak to elite ultrarunner and author Damian Hall. While most teens were experimenting with smoking and drinking, Damian was already running cross-country races. He shares how his journey began with a half marathon in his hometown of Bath, eventually leading him to some of the world’s toughest ultramarathons, including the notorious Barkley Marathons. We explore why Damian believes ultrarunning is “easier” than it seems, why he prefers tea over coffee, and what makes the fifth loop of the Barkley so brutal. Insightful, inspiring, and refreshingly honest, this is a conversation every runner should hear.
