In this episode of the podcast Tom Rauen from Iowa, USA talks about how he got started running 100 milers on the trails. Tom is a business owner with a young family, but he still manages to find time to train for ultra events - the next one being the 2023 UTMB in Mont-Blanc, Chamonix in September.
His running has provided space for him to think through all the various issues business and life in general has thrown him. Plus he’s found that it has strengthened his self-discipline and resilience as he regularly faces challenging and uncomfortable moments in his running. Hitting the trails in particular gives Tom a lot of joy as he immerses himself in nature .
He finds that trail running pushes him mentally, physically, and emotionally to unlock new levels of potential/personal growth and he loves it!
Running tips from Tom - go by feel, listen to your body, don’t do too much at once, find that parts of running that bring you joy and focus on those.

Episode 226 - You should prioritise your physical health before its too late
Tuesday Aug 15, 2023
Tuesday Aug 15, 2023
In this episode of the podcast Christopher Vos sharing his inspiring running journey. Christopher has 9 kids and runs his own business, which as you can imagine makes his life very full, so full that one day he realised his own physical health had taken a back seat for way too long! He was 5ft 11 and 180kg, when a friend said it was time he did something about it. Luckily he did because a little while after loosing some weight he had a stroke and was told if he’d still been at the 180kg weight, he likely would not have survived!
That was back in 2019 and was all the motivation Christopher needed to make sure his new health and fitness regimes became a way of life. He now priorities his physical health everyday and is reaping the rewards.
We also talked about Christophers business ROR - Return on Relationships. To learn more about what Christopher does head over to his website - ROR Website
And if you’d like to check out his motivational Apple playlist, here it is - https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/5k/pl.u-vv9xs48KyB7
Running tips from Christopher - Find someone who can help you, pick a date that you’re going to start (and stick to it) and its not a sprint, its a marathon so take it easy on yourself.

For the next few weeks I’ll be interspersing my new interviews with some of my favourite past episodes as I’m away from home and haven’t booked too many calls in :)
In this flash back with the Tassie adventurer, Ben Wells, from March 2022, :)
In this episode Ben Well’s shares his love of the Tassie wilderness. Whether he’s hiking for days or running on the trails, Ben often finds himself in the wilderness exploring our natural environment! As Ben says running is a very simple pursuit, all you need is a pair of shoes before you head out the door and then it’s just one step in front of another. But it’s the running community that he values the most.
Ben’s Running Tips - Find your running community (its more fun with other people - especially when the weather’s unpleasant) and don’t ever think you’re not good enough.

For the next few weeks I’ll be interspersing my new interviews with some of my favourite past episodes as I’m away from home and haven’t booked too many calls in :) In this flash back with the amazing Alicia Gerbert from May 2022, all the way from Connecticut in the USA for a chat about her running journey.
Sadly Alicia lost her younger sister a couple of years ago to cancer and this triggered her to start looking after herself more. So she started running and within 2 years she’d lost 60 pounds and ran 2 marathons. Alicia is loving her running and its become a big part of her identity - importantly it’s empowered her to take on other challenges in life.
Alicia’s Running Tips - Try the couch to 5k app, include strength and mobility training (a balance board).
Here is the Youtube Channel Alicia mentioned - Vlad Ixel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCikqAT5S16931CQN_tC7EtQ (Vlad has since been on the podcast - https://fitmindfitbody.co/episode-98-running-has-created-many-opportunities-for-vlad-from-meeting-his-wife-to-starting-a-business/)
