Episode Description

Harry Jones is a professional runner for Merrell, coming off a win at TransLantau by UTMB in Hong Kong.

We talk about what it really takes to build longevity in pro trail running — from Harry’s early years living and racing across Asia, to launching a YouTube channel years ahead of its time, to navigating sponsorship changes and form over a long career.

We cover:

  • Winning TransLantau by UTMB and how the race unfolded
  • Growing up and racing across Asia
  • Building a YouTube channel to 73k+ subscribers
  • The realities of professional running beyond results
  • Moving from HOKA to Merrell
  • Longevity, patience, and staying competitive over time

A grounded conversation about performance, creativity, and playing the long game in trail running.
