Ello: The Truth Behind Ello & Mark Dowdle's Viral Ultramarathon Showdown...
FINALLY! We find out what really happened... This week I sat down with ultra runner Ayyoub El Osrouti AKA Ello. I travelled over to the Another Cotton Lab store in Düsseldorf, Germany just days after he completed one of the most dramatic backyard ultras ever seen... The Last Soul Ultra. Ello ran 93 loops (623.7km) over 4 days, battling Achilles issues, sleep deprivation, hallucinations, and an intense head-to-head rivalry with Mark Dowdle that went viral around the world. This was such a great chat and so so interesting to get inside the head of one of the greatest endurance runners in the world at the moment.Ello: https://www.instagram.com/anotherello/?hl=enFollow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motionalintelligencepodFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motionalintelligencepodCalum's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calumgoddard/Calum's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@calumgoddard YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UC4g2mhwrlRBzXhAsyXVWz4A Contact: motionalintelligencepod@gmail.com00:00 - Intro: Ello's Last Soul Ultra result00:50 - Welcome to the podcast04:17 - How Ello's body feels after finishing09:07 - Ello's PBs and race highlights (Ironman, London Marathon)12:53 - Introducing the Last Soul Ultra rivalry story19:30 - Bringing in elite coach Sam Harvey30:46 - Back to the start line of this year's race35:10 - The first mental barrier of a 4-day ultra39:06 - The final 14 laps: it gets tense with Mark49:01 - Ello's relationship with Mark Dowdle58:12 - The viral finish line meltdown moment1:03:09 - Fame, attention, and being an athlete vs. an influencer1:06:04 - Room 101: what Ello can't stand about the race1:08:43 - Fan questions: darkest thoughts, hallucinations, and more1:16:36 - What's next for Ello: Moab 240

I sat down with George Rickwood to break down the Last Soul Ultra, the backyard ultra that took over the internet. We cover Mark Dowdle's last-minute private jet dash across Europe to complete 94 laps, Ello's heartbreaking collapse in the final stretch, and the biggest moments, controversies, and characters from one of the most-watched ultrarunning events ever.

55. Olympic Champion Alistair Brownlee's HEROIC Moment That Changed Sport FOREVER!
DOUBLE OLYMPIC CHAMPION🤯🥇Not only one of the most decorated triathletes of all time, he’s a hero for many and was part of the iconic Team GB in 2008, 2012 & 2016 👏🏼. Alistair gave us one of the most iconic, heartwarming & controversial moments on endurance sport when he dragged his brother Jonny at the world championships over the line. If you were to have told that young lad watching the 2012 Olympics that he’d be one day chatting with a man who won gold I would have laughed at you. Incredible chat, absolutely loved that 🙌🏼Alistair's IG: https://www.instagram.com/alistair.brownlee/?hl=enTruefuels IG: https://www.instagram.com/truefuels/?hl=enThe Brownlee Foundation IG: https://www.instagram.com/brownleefoundation/?hl=enFollow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motionalintelligencepod Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motionalintelligencepodCalum's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calumgoddard/Calum's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@calumgoddard YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UC4g2mhwrlRBzXhAsyXVWz4A Contact: motionalintelligencepod@gmail.com0:00 - Introduction0:55 - Welcome Alistair Brownlee1:12 - Growing Up in Yorkshire3:10 - First Triathlon Experience5:00 - Finding Triathlon5:41 - World Junior Championships6:34 - Evolution of Triathlon10:23 - Barriers to Entry13:02 - Simplicity in Sport14:57 - Rivalry With Brother Jonny19:49 - Beijing 2008 Olympics30:35 - Training for London 201233:49 - London 2012 Olympics38:09 - Winning Olympic Gold41:49 - Rio 2016 Back to Back Gold46:30 - The Iconic Mexico Moment51:14 - What Happened to Jonny53:17 - Retirement & Business Ventures54:48 - TrueFuels & Nutrition56:03 - Norseman Triathlon1:02:15 - Future Events1:04:12 - Alex Yee & Future of Triathlon1:06:14 - Room 1011:07:10 - Outro & Brownlee Foundation
