This episode is a powerful reminder of what running can become when it’s tied to purpose. We sit down with Leodhais (Marathon Man), who ran 128 marathons in 128 days in memory of his brother Connor a challenge that stretched far beyond physical limits.
Lewis shares how the project “NCL to NYC” began, the mental battles behind daily marathons, and how the journey transformed him from someone who never spoke about his grief to someone now raising awareness for suicide prevention every single day. We talk about the brutal winter miles, the 4am starts before work, the emotional weight of the New York Marathon, and how sharing his story has helped thousands.
He also opens up about his new chapter: running all six World Marathon Majors across 2026–2027, using each race to continue spreading hope, awareness, and Connor’s legacy.
This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply human a reminder that running can heal, connect, and change lives. A must‑listen for anyone who loves this sport or needs a story of resilience.
