How Olympic Runner Alex Haydock-Wilson Is Rewriting His Story

Olympic bronze medallist Alex Haydock-Wilson joins Tommy to talk about what really happens after you achieve your biggest dreams. In this honest and powerful conversation, we explore life after the Olympics, the emotional highs and lows of elite sport, and why Alex is choosing to prioritise mental health, authenticity, and joy in running as he looks ahead to the next chapter.
They dive into what it means to redefine success, how to navigate the come down after Olympic glory, and the importance of staying grounded in a world that constantly pushes athletes to chase results.

Whether you’re an elite athlete or an everyday runner, this episode is a reminder that medals aren’t everything and the real win is often invisible.
