About this episode
Featuring: Kris Jones - Welsh International Orienteer & Distance Runner In this episode, we sit down with Welsh international athlete Kris Jones, whose journey from the forests of orienteering to the fast-paced world of long distance running has been nothing short of inspiring. Kris shares where it all began - from his early days with Swansea Harriers and competing in junior races, to proudly pulling on a Great Britain vest.
He opens up about the challenges of balancing two demanding disciplines, the role models who paved the way for his transition from orienteering to running, and the lessons learned from moments of both success and disappointment - including the experience of not being selected for the Commonwealth Games.
It’s an honest, insightful conversation about resilience, progression, and finding passion beyond the track.
Tune in now for a deep dive into Kris’s story and the mindset behind elite endurance performance.
