Summary
Tom Evans is a British ultrarunner who has made a very quick and impressive mark on the sport in the last few years. Without a background in running, Tom found trail and ultrarunning while serving in the British military when he signed up for the Marathon des Sables on a drunken whim. Incredibly, he finished third, launching him on his amazing career trajectory. Recently, Tom ran a 1:03 half marathon, showing his range and talent in shorter races as well. I hope this conversation gives you all a glimpse into the mind of one of the world's best and someone who represents the future of professional trail and ultrarunning.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone, welcome to the well. It is always a pleasure to have you here. Of course, my name is Dylan |
| 0:23.1 | Bowman, and this week we're talking to British Ultra Sensation Tom Evans. Tom has become one of |
| 0:30.2 | my absolute favorite athletes to follow on the scene during his quick and meteoric rise in the |
| 0:37.3 | sport. He's really only been on the scene for a few |
| 0:40.3 | years, but in my opinion has already established himself as one of the world's best. And we obviously |
| 0:46.9 | talk a bit about his career and what he thinks has contributed to his success so far. But we go |
| 0:53.2 | into some detail on his background, |
| 0:55.8 | including his military career and how he thinks the skills he acquired there have carried |
| 1:01.8 | over and contributed to his success as an athlete. We talk about his professional approach to the |
| 1:08.1 | sport, the importance of self-belief when it comes to performance, |
| 1:12.7 | the importance of balancing our physical fitness with emotional fitness, and yeah, just the |
| 1:19.5 | importance of doing the little things in order to be successful at anything in life. |
| 1:25.7 | It really is my opinion that the sky is the limit for Tom. I think he's |
| 1:30.3 | got an incredibly bright future ahead and in a lot of ways he represents the future of professional |
| 1:38.3 | trail and ultra running. And even without a lot of years of experience under his belt, |
| 1:48.8 | Tom really has a ton of wisdom to share in this podcast. |
