Episode 21: Tom Evans - Ultra Runner

Conversations About Running

In this Episode of Conversations About Running we are joined by professional ultra marathon runner, Tom Evans. Tom is a former captain in the British Army and kicked off his career as an ultra-runner in 2017 when he finished 3rd in the Marathon des Sables, despite only entering as a bet! He quickly established himself as one of the best ultra runners in the world when he went on to win the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc and finish 3rd in the iconic Weston States. Your hosts, Callum and Gavin, chat with Tom about his approach to nutrition and fueling both during training and day to day life as a professional athlete. We also chat about his mindset and approach to racing as well as Tom's vision for the future of the sport.
