47: Running for Legacy: Will’s Journey from Loss to World Majors; A Runners Journey

Apr 4, 2026 · 31 min · Ep 48

In this week’s episode we sit down with Will an inspiring runner whose journey began in the wake of personal loss and has grown into something extraordinary. From raising over $25,000 for MND through his first ultra, to qualifying for Boston with a blistering 2:47 at Canberra, Will’s story is one of resilience, family, and sheer determination. Now, he’s chasing history as the youngest Australian to run all seven World Marathon Majors in a single year. We talk about his beginnings, the emotional drive behind his challenges, and his first major of the year where we met at Tokyo Marathon.

 

This is more than a running story it’s about purpose, grit, and the power of chasing something bigger than yourself.
