In this episode of AllyCast, I sit down with Tom Blakey, founder and owner of First In Events.

Tom is the man behind some of the UK’s most challenging and well-run endurance events. From ultras and trail races to multi-day challenges, First In Events has built a reputation for events that test people properly — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

We talk honestly about:

  • What it really takes to build an events business from the ground up
  • Leadership under pressure and decision-making when things go wrong
  • Responsibility for athlete safety, logistics, and experience
  • The mindset required to keep showing up when the work is hard and the margins are tight
  • Why endurance events attract people who want more than comfort

This conversation isn’t just about running races — it’s about ownership, accountability, resilience, and doing things properly, whether that’s in business, leadership, or life.

If you’re interested in endurance sport, event management, or what it takes to build something meaningful without cutting corners, this episode will resonate.

This episode isn’t just about a race.

It’s about what happens when the structure disappears.

Ultra X Nevada was five days, 220km, brutal heat, isolation, sand, and self-doubt. But the real test didn’t start in the desert — it started long before, navigating unemployment, identity loss, and that uncomfortable question many men face in their 50s:

“Who am I now?”

In this episode, I talk honestly about:

  • What Ultra X Nevada was really like — physically and mentally
  • Being alone in the desert with nowhere to hide
  • Losing work, routine, and professional identity
  • The mental drift that comes when you no longer know where you fit
  • Why endurance events become anchors during periods of change
  • What rebuilding looks like when you strip life back to basics
  • Why comfort is often the enemy of growth

This isn’t a highlight reel.

It’s a debrief — on endurance, transition, and learning how to go again when life doesn’t look like the plan.

If you’re navigating change, burnout, unemployment, or that mid-life “what now?” moment — this one’s for you.

]]> "Midlife Crisis or Midlife Comeback? The Truth Men Need to Hear – with James Davis"

🎧 Episode Summary:

Is midlife the beginning of the end... or the start of something powerful?

In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, I sit down with James Davis from The Midlife Mentors to cut through the BS and talk straight about what it really means to be a man in your 40s, 50s and beyond.

We dive deep into the physical, mental, and emotional shifts that hit hard during midlife—and how to face them head-on without losing your edge. From hormone drops to confidence dips, relationship wobbles to career pivots—nothing’s off the table.

James shares insights from his brand new book, The Midlife Male Handbook, and delivers real talk for real men who know they’re capable of more.

PLUS – Massive Announcement: 🎉

From next week, I’m joined by my new co-host: endurance athlete, farmer, and certified badass, Claire Moreton. Want to meet her before she jumps on board? Go listen to Episode 7, Season 2 of The AllyCast—trust me, you’ll be hooked.

🔥 In this episode:

  • Why midlife doesn’t have to mean “crisis”
  • The hormone shifts that sabotage your energy and mood
  • The mental traps men fall into—and how to break free
  • How to stay strong, driven and focused in your 40s, 50s, and beyond
  • Why the world needs stronger, more honest conversations between men

In my latest attempt at the Spine Challenger, Mother Nature had other plans. Waist-deep snow, brutal winds, and freezing conditions turned an already tough race into a survival challenge. After battling through 30 miles of this, I made the tough call to DNF (Did Not Finish).

DNF. Three letters no endurance athlete wants to face. But it happens—and what really matters is how we deal with it.

In this episode of AllyCast, I break down:

✅ The brutal conditions that led to my DNF

✅ Lessons learned about kit, preparation, and mindset

✅ How to reframe failure and turn it into a stepping stone

✅ The psychology of goal setting after a setback

Every challenge teaches us something. Sometimes, the toughest lessons come when things don’t go to plan.

If you’ve ever faced a setback—whether in sport, business, or life—this one’s for you. Tune in and let me know: How do you bounce back after a tough loss?

The "What if" question is powerful in personal development because it opens doors to possibilities beyond our usual thinking. By asking, "What if I could achieve this?" or "What if I approached this differently?" we challenge limiting beliefs and invite new perspectives. It shifts our mindset from seeing obstacles to exploring opportunities, sparking motivation and creativity that can fuel real growth.

GEAR & APPAREL - From start to finish, we design, test, and proudly overbuild gear and performance apparel - so that it thrives in Baghdad and NYC. Green Berets serve as judge and jury of quality.

FOOTWEAR - The best story in the history of footwear. Old school Special Forces. Post-9/11 modern day Special Forces. Inventor of the Reebok Pump. MACV-1 honors the heritage of the Vietnam-era jungle boot and adapts it to the modern day, all terrain requirements of traveling, training, rucking — and assaulting.

EVENTS - Classic Special Forces missions involve training foreign armies and serving beside them. At GORUCK, 100+ decorated combat veterans of Special Forces lead our 1,000+ events/year. Their job is to build teams and empower individuals from all walks to lead active, engaged lives.

RUCKING - Moving with weight on your back is the foundation of Special Forces training - and GORUCK Events. Rucking combines strength and cardio, is adaptable to anyone’s goals based on the amount of weight carried, and is a popular, empowering activity for those who hate to run or find it boring.

So, yes we build gear. Yes, we lead events, build teams, and strengthen communities. But only because if we didn’t, we’d have to find some other way to change the world, one day at a time.
