In this episode of RunThrough Presents Gone Running, Lewis Robling shares his remarkable journey from professional rugby to the world of ultra-running.
Lewis opens up about the challenges of transitioning out of sport, the mental health struggles he faced, and how running became a tool for both personal exploration and connection. His story also reveals how the idea for Why We Run was born, a charitable ultra-marathon event built on community, resilience, and giving back.
From raising significant funds for charity to finding strength in asking for help, Lewis highlights the life lessons that endurance sports can teach us and the power of being authentic, vulnerable, and true to yourself.
Hosted by Ben Sheppard, this is a powerful conversation about sport, community, and self-discovery that will inspire runners and non-runners alike.
