We get into ultra success, the fear of DNF’ing, spinal injury, body dysmorphia, and the moment Ellis had to accept he might never run again. There’s also some mention of VÅGA, supporting athletes quietly, and why sometimes the best runs never make the headlines. Unfiltered, reflective, and very real.
