Interview with Robbie Simpson

About this episode

The episode features an interview with mountain runner Robbie Simpson discussing his career and experiences in elite competition.

This week on Run Till You’re Done, we’re joined by one of Scotland’s finest mountain runners, Robbie Simpson. One of the most underappreciated running assets the UK has. From representing Great Britain on the world stage to racing shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of Kilian Jornet, Robbie has built an incredible career in the hills and mountains. We chat about his journey from the Highlands to the international podium, the highs and lows of elite competition, and even the story behind being nicknamed "Fat Simpson" despite being one of the fittest athletes on the planet. It's a conversation packed with laughs, honesty, and plenty of insight into what it takes to compete at the highest level of mountain running.
