Everyone has to endure. Whether it is the pressure to perform, the weight of expectation, the fear of not being enough, or the challenge of finding purpose beyond what we do.
The Endurers is a podcast about what it really takes to keep going. Hosted by Tim Ford and Will McCloy, each episode features open and honest conversations with elite athletes who have faced more than just physical tests.
This is not a podcast about training tips or race results. It is about resilience, identity, mental health, self-worth, and the universal lessons sport can teach us about life.
Because endurance is not just for athletes. It is for everyone.

Emma Jeffcoat spent years chasing strength and stability only to realise that what needed healing wasn’t just physical.
In this raw and moving conversation, Emma reflects on the pressure to keep showing up as the version of herself others expected even when that meant hiding the truth. Through injury, identity loss and quiet unraveling she began the slow work of understanding who she really was beneath it all.
This is a story about pain permission and the unexpected softness that can follow breaking open.
