Transition from Professional Rugby to Ultra Running
Transitioning from being a professional rugby player to an ultra runner, Louis Robling shares how the pride and pressure differed in the two sports. In rugby, representing the club jersey brought immense pride, but the professional game turned into a job with constant pressure and fear of job loss if performance declined. This contrast made him feel like he had lost a part of himself until he found purpose, forward motion, and a sense of community in ultra running.
