Welcome to another episode of Speaking to Stacy. This week, I had the opportunity to learn from someone outside of my wheelhouse. Billy Richards, an endurance athlete with 600+ events under his belt, shared unique insights into his journey as a hardman and what it takes to make it across the finish line of a 100-mile race. Despite a chronic hip injury, Billy shows no signs of stopping.
Before diving into the meat of the discussion, we talked about Billy's military experience and his career as a personal trainer. His experience as an endurance athlete spills over into his everyday life and it was truly inspiring to hear about his journey.
The most amazing thing for me was realizing that our bodies can take a huge beating before actually folding. Billy's gruelling experiences in these ultra-distance events, his military experience and his skillset as a personal trainer make him the perfect person to learn from when he talks about overcoming difficulties.
In this conversation, we covered a lot of ground, from how Billy got started in endurance sports to the strategies he uses to push through the toughest moments of a race. He also discussed the impact that his endurance pursuits have had on his personal and professional life.
Key Takeaways for the listeners:
- Finding out that your self-imposed limits are false. You can push yourself harder than you think is possible.
- Doing something difficult will change you for the better.
- Why mindset matters more than anything else when it comes to difficult situations.
If you enjoyed this week’s episode, I urge you to listen to the episode I did with former Olympic Swimmer, Natalie du Toit.

In conclusion, Billy's story is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the ability to push beyond what we think is possible. It was an honour to have him on the show, and I hope that you, the listeners, can take something away from his story and apply it to your own life.
