In this episode of FitMIND FitBODY, we meet James Sawyer, an ultra runner who is gearing up for his next big challenge: the Delirious W.E.S.T. 200-mile race. James shares his journey from playing team sports like footy and cricket to embracing long-distance running after a life-changing event—his divorce.
Running became a source of healing and purpose for James, helping him navigate life’s ups and downs. He reflects on the social side of ultra running, the camaraderie, and how the sport has allowed him to find a new community of like-minded “doers.” James also opens up about his balance between running, family life, and work, and how he’s preparing mentally and physically for the upcoming race.
Whether you’re curious about ultra running or simply enjoy stories of resilience and personal growth, James’ journey will inspire you to push your own boundaries.
