Tommy chats with Alex Hermansson (@herm.runs). It’s a conversation that feels like a genuine exhale in the modern running world.
Herm is a breath of fresh air. Someone who clearly loves running for what it is. Together, they talk about doing running your way, expressing yourself through movement, and resisting the pressure to follow the status quo or fit neatly into whatever version of “runner” is currently trending.
It’s a conversation about individuality, creativity, and choosing a relationship with running that feels honest, sustainable, and true to who you are.
If you’ve ever felt slightly out of place in running culture, or quietly resisted doing things “the right way,” this one will land.

Join Tommy and his close friend Dean for a chat about leaving the working world, building businesses online, the world of online business content and social media, going after things, believing in yourself, and the thing that gets in the way of every opportunity and could leave you living with regret: Self doubt.

It’s a casual chat between two friends on a roof in Dahab, Egypt.

Running has been the dominant force in Tommy’s life for years. Ultra running, structured training, and long-term goals have provided purpose, direction, and meaning — and it remains something he takes seriously.
In this episode, Tommy reflects on the fine line between passion and obsession, and explores whether total commitment to running always protects that relationship, or whether it can sometimes quietly wear it down.
He speaks honestly about the feeling of it all becoming a bit much, the desire to explore other interests without guilt, and why this year he’s taking a more psychologically relaxed approach to something he still cares deeply about.
This episode isn’t about doing less. It’s about staying in love with running. For the long run.
