Will Fraser-Coombe is an ultra-endurance challenge athlete, personal trainer, and owner of fitness brand Adventure Athletes.
He’s flipped tractor tyres for world record attempts, taken on six ultras in six days, and discovered first-hand what happens to your body and mind when you go far beyond normal training.
In this episode, Will opens up about everything the highlight reels don’t show: the mistakes, the pressure, the burnout, the identity shifts, and the moment his brain genuinely snapped days after finishing his biggest challenge. We go deep into what extreme fatigue actually feels like, why endurance advice often collapses in the real world, and how social media has quietly changed the way people train without realising.
