That's Runnable

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.

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.

Jack Faint reflects on being diagnosed with a brain tumour in his mid-twenties while living in Australia - a moment that completely changed the trajectory of his life.
What followed was a deep period of questioning, exploration, and responsibility for how he wanted to live. That path has since led him to run the length of India, raising tens of thousands (£) for cancer charities.
In this episode, Tommy and Jack talk life, choice, responding to bad news, the mind–body connection, alternative medicine, and what it really means to move forward when nothing goes to plan.
A grounded, thoughtful conversation with someone who has lived - and continues to live - the questions most of us try not to ask.
