What does it take to go from hating running to tackling some of the most challenging ultra events out there? This week, we sit down with Andrew Farrall—ultra runner, Instagram creator, and the energy behind the viral “Crackhead Energy” videos—to explore his unexpected rise in the running world.
Andrew opens up about how a simple challenge pulled him into the world of ultra running, what makes the ultra community so unique, and how humour, honesty, and chaos have shaped his growing online presence. From giveaways to merch with purpose, his journey blends passion with purpose as he raises awareness for mental health through his platform.
He also shares his biggest goals on the horizon—including the intimidating Lakeland 100—and how community support and coaching are playing a key role in his evolution as a runner and creator.
Whether you’re here for inspiration, a laugh, or to learn more about the ultra world, this episode has a bit of everything.
