#71 - Passion vs Obsession: Running For The Long Run

#71 - Passion vs Obsession: Running For The Long Run

Running has been the dominant force in Tommy’s life for years. Ultra running, structured training, and long-term goals have provided purpose, direction, and meaning — and it remains something he takes seriously.

In this episode, Tommy reflects on the fine line between passion and obsession, and explores whether total commitment to running always protects that relationship, or whether it can sometimes quietly wear it down.

He speaks honestly about the feeling of it all becoming a bit much, the desire to explore other interests without guilt, and why this year he’s taking a more psychologically relaxed approach to something he still cares deeply about.

This episode isn’t about doing less. It’s about staying in love with running. For the long run.
