Description
Harry Jones is a professional runner for Merrell, fresh off a win at TransLantau by UTMB in Hong Kong.
In this episode, we talk about what it actually takes to build longevity in pro trail running. Harry shares his early years living and racing across Asia, the thinking behind his YouTube channel (73k subscribers) long before athlete content was the norm, and the realities of navigating sponsorship, form, and momentum over time.
We cover:
• Winning TransLantau by UTMB and how the race played out
• Growing up, living, and racing across Asia
• Building a YouTube channel ahead of its time
• The realities of pro running beyond results
• Moving from HOKA to Merrell
• Staying relevant, motivated, and competitive over the long term
A grounded conversation about performance, patience, creativity, and staying in the sport long enough for success to come back around.
