Goosebumps in the first minute. "You can always take another step"

Listening to Will articulate that his response to grief was running, resonates on such a deep level with me personally. At the beginning of my running journey circa 15 years ago I lost a very close friend very young. Running was an almost 'autopilot' like response to the situation which undoubtedly helped me. Recently having lost another very close friend to suicide, I am blessed to say that running, in an almost insulating fashion, creates a time vacuum for me where time stops, enabling me to process grief in my own time. Or how Will so accurately articulated 'break myself down and rebuild myself.' I have been considering different running pursuits/challenges to elevate my relationship with running...listening to the scale of Will's journey has inspired me to push the boat out. This is a podcast I will come back to time and time again. Thank you, love from Ireland!

Thanks to both you and Will for having this long-form conversation to reflect upon his experiences more deeply and get a glimpse of what he might do next. As much as his physical feats are extraordinary, I admire his attitude most of all.

I relate so much to what you were saying about associating running with a time that you felt your best mentally and physically. I also used to be a cross country runner, and watching this video has inspired me to become a runner again! Thanks so much for sharing your journey, and I’m sure you have helped many people by putting this out there… 👍❤️

My athletic career has been in order; Walking, Gymnastics, surfing, tennis, and finally at 77yrs running I'm so excited! Oh yes I'm looking into Pickle Ball too.

Thanks for all of your incredible interviews, Rich! I've learned so much from you over the years, watching your inspiring podcasts has long become a valuable part of my life. Subscribed years ago- it's the least thing to do. Peace from Austria.

Love that one! Love the way you ask Questions Rich and i love how William takes his space and shares from his heart. What an inspiring human being… especially in relation to my marathon training right now. Thank you guys 🙏🏼

Cancer is ALWAYS a bitch! Thank you for your efforts towards ending this horrible taker of family!

The value of a fitness journey speaks volumes in this podcast! A great reminder that it's a Privilege To Run!

Yes! Been waiting for this!

was looking forward to this episode!!!

a gentle run clears the mind

One of the best podcasts ive ever listened to. Thanks so much

Excellent as always…thanks guys!

Will is one of the very real-life guys out there. So happy to finally hear a "normal" young person talk on your show. I have not heard their voice talk in long time (being non-traditional ultra runner is a needed breathe of fresh air). All humans are natural born runners. He represents youth and development. I appreciate how you share your struggles Will (and say many things other people may not be brave enough to share). Respect! I am proud of you and want to tell you that you are one of the stronger souls. Keep your friends, as we get older, it becomes harder to make them. Your mom is part of you and part of your beautiful brother and dad. She is watching you all and always there protecting all of you.

Thank you - im physicallt unprepared for my first 100km in 13 weeks but mentally inm have no doubt i will finish, even if i have to crawl

How inspiring to turn pain into something beautiful!

Congrats on the one million subs.

Amazing podcast episode Rich!! 🧠💪🏼🏞️👌🏼
