That's Runnable

Tommy Lewis

Built on the mantra “run the runnable,” this show is about what’s possible rather than the pressure of perfection. We embrace an accessible, light-hearted, and sustainable way of training and racing - welcoming runners of all abilities to join the adventure.

Inspired by nature and the freedom of the outdoors, we marry our laid-back approach to running with a tenacious desire to push the limits of what’s possible. We prioritise community, inclusivity, and a balanced way to run, encouraging everyone to embrace their own version of what’s “runnable.” That’s Runnable is here to inspire you to enjoy the run while building a friendly and supportive community around the sport.

#97 - The Secret to Discipline No One Tells You
There is a beautifully encouraging truth about discipline that many miss. We think of discipline with a harsh tone, that we always need to make the hard decision. And that is somewhat true, but it doesn’t have to feel this way. In today’s solo episode, Tommy opens with a heartfelt email from a Weekly Reframe reader, rounding off the episode with the beautiful truth of discipline that you can begin again every day.

#95 [Guest] Kilian Korth - The Difference Between Failure and Quitting
Kilian Korth swept the Triple Crown of 200s in 2025, becoming the first man to take Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200 and Moab 240 outright in the same season. He also set a new course record at Cocodona 250. But before any of that, his record was three DNFs, a torn hamstring, and a finish at Cocodona that landed him in the ICU. Tommy and Kilian talk about the line between failure and quitting, the difference between self belief and self efficacy, and why letting go of outcomes made Kilian faster, not slower. They get into ego and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we deserve, and why presence and gratitude have become Kilian's most reliable tools, both in racing and in recovering from ankle surgery. They also talk about the commercialisation of ultra running, the politics and tribalism creeping into trail running culture, and what actually unites runners once you strip away the noise of social media.

#94 [Guest] Rachel Entrekin - Logic Over Limiting Beliefs
Rachel Entrekin is HER! Having recently broken the course record at Cocodona 250 and becoming the first woman to win outright, she has flown into long-awaited global recognition. And there is no better role model to be at the top of the sport of ultra running right now. In this conversation, Tommy chats with Rachel about challenging limiting beliefs, race day narrative control, facing yourself in hard moments, the strange realities of succeeding as a woman, ultra running as both an art and a science, and the importance of self care.

#93 - Why Both Discipline and Compassion Matter
Explore the two voices that exist inside all of us: the “soft voice” that seeks comfort, safety and rest, and the “hard voice” that demands discipline, resilience pushing. Through the lens of running, training and everyday life, Tommy discusses why both voices are necessary, how both can become dangerous when taken to extremes, and why true wisdom lies in knowing which one deserves your attention and when. This is a conversation about self awareness, balance, ambition, recovery and learning when to push harder and when to pull back.

#92 - Can running make you MORE stressed?
Running is often described as one of the best tools for managing stress, improving mental health, and helping us cope with the demands of life. But what happens when the very thing we use to manage stress becomes another source of it? Today, we explore the complicated relationship between running and stress. Although we think of running as an escape, training itself is a stressor. Mileage, intensity, strength training, work, travel, relationships, poor sleep, bad news, financial worry, and life responsibilities all place demands on the same system. In this episode, Tommy discusses why the body doesn't distinguish between different types of stress, how running can both help and hinder our wellbeing, and why learning to tune into your own stress levels is one of the most important skills any runner can develop. Whether you're training for your first 10K, an ultra marathon, or simply trying to balance running with a busy life, this episode will help you better understand the true cost of training and how to avoid turning something you love into another source of overwhelm. --- Today’s Sponsor INOV8 - Use this link to get 15% OFF NEW!

#91 - Stop Choosing Between Performance and Happiness
Tommy reflects on the response to the documentary, An Invitation To Run Differently, and explores the relationship between performance, happiness, and perspective in modern running culture. So many runners begin because running brings peace, freedom, confidence, and clarity - only to slowly become consumed by metrics, comparison, optimisation, and pressure. But does enjoying running really mean sacrificing performance? Tommy discusses why enjoyment and ambition are not opposites, how obsession with data can damage your relationship with running, and why presence, gratitude, and perspective may actually improve long-term performance. This episode is a reminder that you can train hard, chase goals, and care about improvement without losing sight of the deeper reasons you run in the first place.

#86 - [Guest] Hugo Fry - Fast, Funny and No Filter
Hugo Fry is a 2:17 marathoner, a 63-minute half marathon runner, a sub-30 10K runner, a desert ultra winner, and somehow, none of that is the most interesting thing about him. Tommy sits down with Hugo in London for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually looks like to build an audience as a runner, why racing more often is probably the best content strategy, and how Hugo manages to be genuinely elite without ever taking himself too seriously. They get into the backyard ultra world, Hugo's chaotic race calendar, and why structure might be the real secret to performing at a high level. Hugo's perspective on running is refreshing in the best way. He trains hard, races hard, and doesn't wrap his identity in the numbers. In a space full of people shouting about their splits, that's rarer than it should be.

#82 - [Guest] Tony Riddle - Adding Life to Your Years | Movement, Longevity and Running Naturally
Tony Riddle is a leading voice in natural movement, rewilding, and human performance. Born with club feet and raised in corrective footwear, Tony’s early experience of movement was far from natural. Over time, he rebuilt that relationship, going on to embody the very principles he now teaches. This conversation explores how modern life disconnects us from our bodies, and what it looks like to return to something more natural. Tommy and Tony cover natural movement, posture, breath work, cold exposure, and the role of play in building a resilient, capable body. Along the way, Tony shares simple, practical ways to reconnect with your environment and move with more freedom. You can pre-order Tony’s book before 10th April: TAKE THE STAIRS: The Longevity Lifestyle If you do, you’ll be not only feature in the book and receive a signed copy, but also be in with the chance to win a Golden Ticket to one of Tony’s immersive retreats. --- JOIN THAT’S RUNNABLE COACHING HUB and build sustainable running habits that last a lifetime! ➡️ JOIN NOW! ⬅️ New intake every month!
