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.

In this episode we hear from the inspiring Kate Edwards. Kate hasn’t taken the normal route to ultra running events - she basically skipped the usual 5k/10k/21k/42k events and went straight into 100k and then multi-day events and soon to be iron man! All this while learning to managing chronic fatigue - when is her body saying don’t train today because of chronic fatigue and when is it just normal tiredness that passes when you start training? Understanding these messages is still a work in progress for Kate.
She has also lived in a number of countries and is currently completing a Phd in Gut health and exercise :)
Kate’s running tips - enjoy it, find your why, be gentle on yourself and find a coach if you need one.

In this special episode Simon (my hubby) shares a little of his thoughts on running. As a warning - Simon is not “in love” with running at all and in many ways it is a means to an end for him :)
His perspective is a little different from most of my guests, but he has been running in some form on and off for most of his life. He sees it primarily as an efficient way to be fit enough to do all the other things he wants/needs to do in life :)
Simon also reflects on his recent cancer scare.
Simon’s running tips - just do it.

In this episode Jemma Purandare talks about what running looks like in her life! She is a keen distance trail runner which works perfectly with her career as an environmental scientist! Signing up to scary running goals is her secret to getting out the door and training each week - this years scary races - the 6 foot track marathon (Blue Mtn, NSW) and UTMB CCC (for the uninitiated this is 101k ultra trail race around Most Blanc in France)…
Like many of us, Jemma sometimes struggles with body image (especially at races), however she recently had surgery which has forced her to accept and be grateful for what her body can do thanks to running. She now works with her body and not against it.
I hope you enjoy this delightful conversation as much as I did :)
Jemma’s running tips - just give it a go with no expectations on yourself, find a set route/loop nearby that you can do regularly (so you can measure your progress), don’t get sucked into having to run faster or longer & don’t something that brings you joy.
