In this podcast Casey Mainsbridge shares his journey with running and exercise in general. For as long as he can remember he has loved the physical benefits of exercise but they’ve become secondary to the mental and emotional shift he gets from doing them. He finds it great thinking time and a distraction from what ever life is throwing at you.
For almost 20 years Casey has been a University lecturer teaching our future PE (Health and physical education) teachers as well as completing a Phd on what happens when people sitting at work were given a passive prompt to stand up and move. One of the things that this experiment highlighted was that behaviour change is hard, it takes time and people need to make a conscience choice, however over time, with consistent exposure, things can become habitual (hopefully positive things).. So Casey is now a Dr :)
Casey has taken this path in life because he wants to make a positive difference to the lives of everyone he comes into contact with!
This episode is full of insights from someone who has spent all his life to this point studying and practicing movement and the human body :)
Casey’s Tips - Start by going for a walk and doing small bursts of jogging, soft ground/grass is good, commit to “your why”, you want to start running. And remember “thinking about something is often harder than doing it..” Casey Mainsbridge

In this episode of the podcast Josh Harris shares his running journey from a promising primary school kid to representing Australia! As a 10/11 year old Josh found that not only did he love running he was actually pretty good at it. At 32 he still loves running and chasing PB’s, although while he’s recovering from an injury he’s also found he’s pretty good at Zwift bike riding!
On top of running and Zwift training, Josh is also a relief teacher for a number of local schools. He finds the part-time nature of relief teaching a perfect compliment to his athletic endeavours - it gives him time to teach and time to train.
On top of representing Australia in running multiple times (including the World Championship Marathon), Josh also has a university degree in Exercise Science and Teaching. He uses all of this experience and knowledge as a run coach at https://www.run2pb.co/ …
Josh’s Tips - Find YOUR enjoyment in running, if you’re a beginner don’t run to hard (find your conversational/low heart rate pace), running is very enjoyable when you’re in control and taking it easy, putting time in at a low intensity is what will get you fit.

In this episode Shannon Taylor shares some of his journey over the last 5 years - from weight loss surgery to running a 100k event! He has even turned his experiences into a podcast with his partner - check it out here:- https://www.baribanter.com/
Shannon is very passionate about his running and the positive impact it’s had on his life (and those around him)! He runs most days of the week and fits it in by getting up at 3:30am (nothing better than watching the world wake up). Over the last 4.5 years he has watched his times come done consistently, in no small part to consistent training. He seriously can not imagine his life without running…

Shannon’s Tips - start small (and keep it simple) - “Push YOUR Hard”, appreciate the journey, don’t over do it!

In this episode of the podcast we talk to Shane Egan who has set himself a Marathon challenge at the end of the week - 7th October. On Friday he will be rowing 42.7k and running 42.195k, on Saturday he will ride 85k (which is 2 marathons) and on Sunday he will row 42.7k and run 42.195 again! A total of 6 marathons over 3 days…
Why?
To raise funds (for Bears of Hope) and awareness of pregnancy and infant loss.
A couple of years ago Shane’s sister lost a child, then some friends also lost a child and finally he and his wife had a miscarriage. All of these sad events lead him to realise just how common miscarriage and still birth is in our community. With this challenge he plans to raise funds and awareness of pregnancy and infant loss, so more people will talk about it and get the support they need.
Shane is a sporty bloke, but he’s not a runner, so this will definitely be a challenge for him.
How can you help? Below you’ll find Shane’s Go Fund Me page :)

Shane’s Tips - Just do it! Find something you enjoy.

In this episode we have the always “Yaffling” Job Tai. Job, like so many of us “started” running many times in his life but it wasn’t until he was trying to deal with a personal issue that is stuck! A close friend took him on a run and he’s been running and yaffling ever since :)
Job has a busy life with 6 kids and work as a PE teacher. Most of his running is done with people and is full of “yaffling” (talking) & solving all the problems of the world…
He is one of the biggest running advocates I know :)
“Running and life are about endurance.”
~Job Tai~
Job’s Tips - Start small and build (no ridiculous goals), don’t be too hard on yourself, grab a partner and enjoy the journey with someone (or hit Job up :p ) and enjoy it, be nice to yourself!
