In this episode we discuss the recent 48 hour Australian track championships in Canberra.

March 30, 2021 ITB pain with Luke Nelson
Welcome to the podcast! Episode 99 is an interview with Luke Nelson, chiropractor at Health and high Performance.
In this episode we discuss ITB syndrome. ITB syndrome tends to be a common new runner’s injury but is not only limited to beginner runners. Plenty of experienced runners have to deal with this, especially those of us who love getting out in the hills! In this podcast we discuss how to deal with this very annoying condition. When I was a new runner I made the classic mistake of upping my mileage too quickly and succumbed to ITB syndrome and was promptly told by my specialist at the time to take 6 months off running!! No such advice here; Luke gives you realistic advice, but as always we both advocate for seeing a specialist to have the condition diagnosed so you know exactly what you are dealing with!

I feel that when I left teaching to take on this business full time it really was a turning right moment (I’ve had a few…divorce, moving alone to Canada, and more!) but I don’t think I have fully embraced the mentality of it all in such a positive way as Kay. I just love his outlook on these difficult and life-changing decisions. I really want to finish his book to find out more. Find Kay's website here
Enjoy the interview with Kay!

Welcome to the podcast! Episode 95 is an interview with Caroline Bertrand.
This is the second time Caroline has been on the podcast. She was last on in early 2020 when she won the Two Bays 56km female event. This time we caught up to talk about here second place in the 2021 edition of the race, but our chat turned into so much more than that. We discuss what it takes to get through difficult times, and how emotionally difficult times adversely affect our running. Also, how important it is to take this into consideration and to be kind to ourselves. I truly hope you find this interview interesting and of value.

February 16, 2021 George Dyer and The Great Train Run
Episode 93 is an interview with George Dyer.
Over 11 days in June 2020, George ran over 560km to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. He started with a 100km run at Knox Athletics Track on 7 June and recently completed a ‘Great Train Run’, which saw him run the entire length of the metropolitan train network. The effort was inspired by the early passing of George’s mother, at age 60, from breast cancer. George decided to dedicate the month of June to fundraising, with his two daughters, Ashley and Taylor, who dyed their hair pink. I first heard about George through a friend of mine, Jodie Street. One of her friends has breast cancer and they ran a portion of one of his runs with him. Jodie and I were out running a few weeks ago and we passed George. We stopped to chat and when I heard about George’s run, I knew I had to interview him!
In collaboration with Wild Earth, every month I will bring a short interview with Anderson (Ando) Moquiuti. He will keep us up to date on the latest gear for trail or ultra running, or pretty much any other adventure you could imagine! Our first interview is in this episode, I hope you find it interesting!
