#31 - Jack Pitcher: How I Ran Across Australia To Hold The British Record

Jack Pitcher holds the British record for running across Australia - 2,684 miles from Perth to Bondi in 61 days. A former roofer from Bracknell who was not even a runner, Jack is now a motivational speaker who shares how he built an underdog mindset, ran on grit not hype, and what the road taught him about purpose, pain and men’s mental health.


In this conversation, we talk about:


  • Why not having a Plan B can focus your life

  • From roofer to record holder - the blueprint

  • Being prepared to die for a dream

  • Men’s mental health, depression and what goes unsaid

  • The underdog mentality with few sponsors and fewer resources

  • Recovery, identity and learning to love running again
