How Do You Run 100 Miles? | Tom Evans Interview | UTMB, Western States
Please like & subscribe if you enjoyed this video!
Recently I travelled to Loughborough to chat to ultra-running legend Tom Evans. Tom's entry into ultramarathons was far from standard, but he's gone on to place at UTMB, win Western States, win CCC and more.
Hear from him what it takes to run some of the world's toughest races, how he mentally recovers from failure and what the future of the sport is going to look like.

Fantastic interview. Thanks Tom Evans and the Like to Flora. A nice week for everyone.
Brilliant interview Flora. Sad that higher UTMB prize money will probably "invite" certain "cats" to go down "Dope Street" trying to nail that podium sponsor-cash "windfall". Running with Covid, Yikes ! Virus still around, who's training for a event etc, "carrying" a variant that's being "played down" ! Running, even at a lower zone effort, for 100 miles, over mountainous terrain ! Have to try and get an interview with Sabrina Verjee maybe one day ! "Don't get too high with the highs !" "Don't get too low with the lows !" Great advice ☀️ 🦅
Great interview Flora! Great questions from you and great guest! :)
This was brilliant, thanks!! I'm so curious what he focuses on for 20 hours, since he doesn't let his mind wander during 100 milers!? That's a level of mental discipline i can never hope to achieve. 😂 I've been trying EVERYTHING the last 4 years, like he recommended, and I've never loved running more! Also, i wonder what that mobility app is he spent a fortune on? Good luck to him on an amazing second half of 2024!

Glad you enjoyed it! Haha yeah, I guess plenty to focus on in an ultra, namely staying upright and not falling asleep. I also wonder about the mobility app! I never asked 😅
Great job Flora!! And thank you to Tom for taking the time to share. Loved this!!
Loved the interview. Tom is an amazing athlete.
I knew he'd say poco loco before he even said it haha good lad!
Heard of Tom first through another podcast a few years back and he talked about running Eiger 101 which I was training for. Reached out to him for advice and within an hour he had sent me a very detailed, helpful response. Great guy and deserves all the success coming his way

Ah no way! That’s amazing & so rare. He is indeed lovely!!
PS - I met Gary Cantrell (Laz) in 1999 when I did the Strolling Jim 40. It's amazing to me that everyone seems to know of the Barkley Marathons now.
Great interview Flora. Your interviewing technique is very natural and Tom comes across as a really decent bloke. 👍

He is super lovely 😍
Great interview Flora!
Great interview Flora, as always!
Great interview, Flora.
Any idea what app he uses that's really good,?
superbe interview !!!
Tom is the best!
Amazing! A bit daunting for us mere mortals though...
Always enjoy tom's interviews, will be rooting for him! I would say you don't need to cut so much of his pauses though, makes it feel a bit disjointed when the levels change.

Courtney sees bears in the woods playing cello? What was that about testing again? 😂
Tomorrow morning is sorted! Can’t wait to listen to this ❤☕️🥐🎧
Poco Loco is a deffo
