Tommy Lewis

Built on the mantra “run the runnable,” we focus on what’s possible rather than the pressure of perfection. Everything we do embraces an accessible, light-hearted, and sustainable way of training and racing - welcoming runners of all abilities to join the adventure.

Inspired by nature and the freedom of the outdoors, we marry our laid-back approach to running with a tenacious desire to push the limits of what’s possible. We prioritise community, inclusivity, and a balanced way to run, encouraging everyone to embrace their own version of what’s “runnable.” That’s Runnable is here to inspire you to enjoy the run while building a friendly and supportive community around the sport.

That's Runnable

Tommy explores the truth about rest days in running and life. He reveals why muscles grow in stillness, not in strain. Drawing on personal stories and practical coaching tips, Tommy challenges the myth that rest is weakness. Learn how recovery fuels progress, prevents injury, and restores both body and mind. Tune in for insight, inspiration, and a reminder that real strength begins with rest.

You are invited to recover smarter, not just train harder. For a deeper dive, check out these guides designed to help you build a sustainable running practice and master recovery:

#58 - Are Rest Days a Myth?

Tommy challenges the myth of a single athletic “prime” and reframes it as a practice, not just a performance peak. Drawing on stories of late-blooming ultra runners and the lived reality of training through setbacks, he argues that listeners may not be past their best - and that even if they are, what matters most is showing up. 

As always, this blends philosophy and practical coaching: running easy to build longevity, touching intensity wisely, lifting the big rocks in the gym, moving well through full ranges, eating like recovery matters, and treating rest as training. Tommy also explores how aging athletes often become kinder and find more joy once they loosen their grip on performance and tighten their grip on process.

You are invited to build “Prime 2.0” with sustainable habits and a lighter ego. For a deeper dive, he points to Episode 5—Five Principles of Running Sustainably - and the FREE PDF linked below!

#57 - How to Peak Again: Building Your "Prime 2.0"

#56 - Q&A (from Vietnam) - how to fuel for a long run, what supplements to take, doubling up long runs & more

They're back for another Episode of That's Notable! 

Tommy’s moving out of London toward Vietnam via family, vans, and a stormy hut-to-hut in the Spanish Pyrenees that turned five friends into a proper team. Josh brings stories from Love Trails in Wales, a slow, sacred month in Madeira, and finally crossing Switzerland’s Hardergrat - fear, singing and all - plus the first prototype of his NOTES running musette. 

The lads dive into a messy, honest chat about social media’s pull, finding presence (with reference to Mark Boyle's book The Way Back), form cues that make running meditative, and why “wanting it less” can unlock better performances (see: Tom Evans at UTMB). Purpose, friendship, and feeling light over chasing numbers.

#54 - Fireside w/ Tommy - Are you running for recognition?

Tommy explores the three leading causes of running injuries and why they account for the majority of setbacks runners face. Drawing on both science and personal experience, he unpacks how training load errors, biomechanical weaknesses, and footwear or surface choices often lie at the root of pain and breakdowns. Along the way, he shares practical advice for avoiding these pitfalls and the deeper mindset shifts that can help runners approach injury prevention with patience and awareness.

This episode also features a RunBiz segment with SUMS. Founder Ed Vickers discusses how the brand has stormed into the running space with the “unsung hero of every runner’s kit bag” - socks. SUMS is approaching the industry creatively, consciously, and with a focus on the running community.

#52 - Play the Long Game | RunBiz w/ Tailwind Nutrition

Some people are wired different. Sam Harvey is one of those people. Having recently bagged the World Record Assist at Dead Cow Gully Backyard Ultra with 118 laps, winning Tarawera Ultra Trail NZ (by UTMB), and many other noteworthy performances, Sam has quickly made a name for himself in the world of elite ultra running over the last few years, and he's showing no signs of slowing down on his mission to continue competing at the highest level. 

Tommy spoke to Sam about what it takes to keep going when things don't go to plan, focusing on enjoying training and racing and holding ourselves to high standards.

#51 - Why Does He Keep Going? Inside Sam Harvey’s Pain Threshold

For the 50th Episode of That's Runnable, Tommy speaks to Monty Purcell. His story is one of hope and redemption from the darkest part of his life. It's a surprisingly relatable story of overcoming addiction, experiencing "rock bottom", of facing the truth, having hard conversations, and seeking help. Monty is raising £10K for CALM (the Campaign Against Living Miserably) by running 10km a day until he reaches this fundraising target. He's on a mission to encourage others like him to talk and to let you know that you're not alone.
 
Thank you to Monty for coming on and sharing your story. 

Please show your support by offering whatever you can on his JustGiving page here.

This episode contains discussions around addiction, suicide, and mental health struggles. If these topics have affected you personally, please take care while listening and know that support is out there.

In the UK, you can reach out to CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) at thecalmzone.net for a free, confidential webchat, or call 0800 58 58 58 - open every day from 5PM to midnight.

Please remember: you don’t have to go through it alone.
We know how heavy things can get. And we know how hard it can be to open up, especially when your mind tells you it won’t help, or that no one will understand. But speaking to someone, even just one person, can start to lift the weight.

You don’t have to have the right words. You don’t need to explain everything. Just start where you are.
You’re not a burden. You’re not weak. You’re human. And you are worthy of support.

#50 - Facing the Truth: Monty Purcell's Story - From Addiction to Redemption

Today, Tommy speaks to his coach Jack Chamberlain on how he went from being an avid skier and seasonal runner to an accomplished elite ultra runner. They talk about his journey into the sport of ultra trail running, his move from the UK to Austria, and how to keep racing light even when it's not going your way.
