It's not often you get to sit down and chat to one of Australia's best ultra runners and throw whatever questions you like at them, but that's exactly what I got to do with 2022 Coast to Kosci Winner Rob Mason.

The win in the grueling 240km endurance race was Rob's sixth attempt, seeing a 12-year dream realised in the process. What many didn't know is that despite being such a respected ultra runner, Rob until recently didn't identify himself as a runner, so this podcast explores how he overcame those obstacles to be the runner he is today, as well as juggling his time as fireman, husband and loving father.

Rob also talks about what's next for him, and it's worth noting the day after our chat Rob set the new Fastest Known Time for the 16 Highest Peaks in Australia, absolutely epic!

You can find Rob at RobMasonRuns on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, he's also sharing his tips and tricks on his own podcast 'Mindset for Runners' https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/mindset-for-runners/id1593071800
