The Long Haul
This is your call to action.
This show is for anyone stuck in the grind, feeling the itch to break free — and for those already chasing discomfort through rucking, running, endurance challenges, and outdoor living.
We talk mindset, training, health, and how to live a life that’s less ordinary.
If you’ve ever thought, “There’s more in me than this,” — you’re in the right place.
Hosted by Steve O’Connor, military veteran, coach, and all-round resilience junkie — this podcast will push you to get off the sofa, out the door, and back in charge of your life.
