Joe Lydon completed the Unstable Slam—six ultras in six months, ontop of a 200-miler and two 100-milers—and he’ll be the first to tell you he’s not physically special. What he does have is a mindset that refuses to quit.In this episode, we break down what it takes to keep showing up when you’re tired, sore, and doubting yourself—how Joe thinks about pain, progress, and commitment, and why consistency beats talent when the miles get serious. If you’ve ever looked at a huge challenge and thought “that’s not for people like me,” this conversation will change your perspective.

Matt Roberts is the kind of person who doesn’t just take on a challenge—he stacks them. In this episode, we talk about his mission to climb the tallest mountains across the British Isles and cycle between them, what it takes to keep moving when the novelty wears off, and why he’s drawn to projects that are equal parts adventure and suffering.We also get into the stranger side of endurance—like staying in a sauna for hours—plus the grind of the Lochaber 4000s, and what these experiences teach him about mindset, resilience, and what’s possible when you commit fully. If you love big days in the mountains and the psychology behind pushing limits, you’ll love this one.

Jimmy Watkins is the founder of The Running Punks—and his story is as much about identity as it is about pace. In this episode, we talk sobriety and what it’s given him, how running became an anchor (and an outlet), and why music and community sit at the heart of what he’s built.Jimmy also shares the shift from rugby to track, what it took to commit to competing, and the journey that led him to represent Great Britain. Expect honest reflections, a few hard truths, and a lot of energy—about rebuilding your life, finding your people, and chasing something that actually means something.
