Sam King

This week on RunPod, Jenni meets Sam King - an incredible man who swapped late-night gaming sessions for long-distance runs with a mission that goes far beyond the finish line.

When Sam’s mum suffered a severe brain injury, his world changed overnight. Out of that heartbreak came an incredible goal: to take on an ultramarathon challenge in her honour and raise funds for Headway UK, the charity supporting people affected by brain injury. 74 Ultra Marathons in 74 Days!

In this conversation, Sam shares how he went from gaming chair to training shoes, what drives him through the toughest miles, and how running became both therapy and tribute.

His journey is a raw, uplifting reminder of how determination and love can turn pain into purpose.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just someone searching for motivation to take the next step - Sam’s story will leave you inspired to run your own race, whatever that looks like.

Follow him now on Instagram and give him the love! @fatboysking
