Today's episode is with Ellajo Fryer, the youngest female to run the length of the UK!
What an incredible achievement, we talk all about it, the behind the scenes, and the many other things she's achieved!
This isn't an episode to miss
It's a profound privilege to actively choose discomfort and suffering, especially when so many face it involuntarily. Using these moments for self-improvement is an incredible gift.
This is the first time I'm creating a plan that's truly for me. It's personal, and I'm hopeful it will get me where I want to go. Everyone else can watch, but this one's about my own growth.
Imagine approaching strangers in the remote Highlands asking for food and shelter. They'd likely question who you are. Yet, in Mongolia, nomadic people with very little—just the clothes on their back and their animals—would often welcome you in. They'd share their food, like goat's head and sheep's intestines, and offer you a place to sleep on their floor. These were beautiful, welcoming people.
For many, long runs are less about the physical challenge and more about quieting the constant chatter in our heads. It's a reliable escape, a space where you don't need to think about anything else. In a world where switching off that internal monologue is tough, especially when self-employed, running offers a much-needed mental break.
Reflecting on personal growth and life's incredible journey. It's amazing to build the person you aspire to be and appreciate the good things: amazing people, a fulfilling job, a wonderful city, and a loving family. Truly living the dream.
Mongolian rain is a whole other level of horrific. Losing your horse meant losing everything – your gear, your shelter. And the risks? People broke arms, got kicked in the head, and ended up in blood wagons. It truly felt like The Hunger Games on horseback.
Seeking perspective and strength often comes from facing challenges. Pushing yourself to do those 'big silly things' builds resilience and helps you discover your inner capabilities.
It's incredible how much support can change things. My GP and my wife were there for me, never making me feel guilty or bad about what I was going through. Their understanding was a turning point.
Unless you fully grasp that *you* need to change, external advice often falls flat. You can get by, but true progress demands your own deep acknowledgment of needing something more.
