Today, we have an incredibly inspiring guest whose journey from professional rugby to ultrarunning is nothing short of remarkable. Joining us is Lewis Robling, a former professional rugby player who has made a name for himself in the world of endurance sports. Lewis's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. After an impressive career in rugby, he transitioned into ultrarunning, where he not only found a new passion but also a new purpose. His ultrarunning journey, which began as an accident during the lockdown, has led him to complete some of the most grueling races imaginable, including a 125km ultra with just four weeks of preparation and five 250km ultras in just 12 months. But Lewis's story is about more than just physical endurance. He is a strong advocate for mental health, supporting the Big Moose charity, and using his platform to raise awareness about the importance of mental well-being. His belief in the transformative power of running for mental health and his personal experiences in this area offer invaluable insights.
