The Long Run With Sean Bell episodes:

April 27, 2023 #11 - Sean Bell - Running 201.6 km in 24 Hours
In today's episode, I reflected on my recent Coburg 24-hour race.
From 12pm Saturday 15th April to 12pm Sunday 16th of April 2023, I ran lap after lap around the Harold Stevens Athletic track.

This was more than just a race for me. Saturday 15/4/23 was one year to the day since we lost my running coach, and our First42K business partner Jase Cronshaw, so I was laser-focused on achieving the goal of running 200+ km over the 24 hours in his honour.
Through this podcast, I share the highs, the lows, how I prepared for it both mentally and physically, and the challenges I dealt with over the 24 hours. I also answer the common questions I've received from people about the event.

April 09, 2023 #10 - Dave Alley - World Record Holder for the Fastest Run & Ride around Australia!
In today's episode, I caught up with another remarkable human and mentor of mine, Dave Alley, who is the current record holder for the fastest cycle and run around Australia.
Dave’s accomplishments are the epitome of elite endurance and determination.
He cycled 14,251 km in just 37 days around Australia in 2011 and then backed it up with a 13,791km run in just 175 days in 2015.
We explore Dave’s highest highs and lowest lows over his respective journeys, with a particular focus on his run around Australia.
I truly felt like it was the master and the apprentice having a conversation because next year I’m taking on the same goal, to run around Australia for charity, and attempt to break the record in the process.
I asked Dave how he prepared for it both mentally and physically, his favourite parts, and the challenges he had to overcome on his journey. We also discussed the comedown of his events and more.
But the exciting thing is, Dave is not finished yet! Later this year, he is taking on another enormous challenge, which we discuss in this episode.
I’m not giving anything else away here, but what I can assure you is Dave will inspire you.
It doesn’t matter what your goal or your pursuit is in life, it is about being prepared to leave your comfort zone. – Dave Alley
He will challenge you to get outside of your comfort zone and do hard things, whilst having fun along the way.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with a phenomenal athlete, and even better person, Dave Alley.

March 30, 2023 #09 - Samantha Gash - Endurance Athlete | Adventurer | Speaker | Social Impactor
In this episode of the podcast, I caught up with Samantha Gash, an incredible Endurance Athlete, Global Keynote Speaker, Social Impactor, Adventurer, and Co-Founder of Her Trails (a trail running program and community for women).
Samantha was one of the pioneers of the ‘running for change movement’, where people run to raise money for and bring awareness to causes, they’re passionate about.
She has run across India, South Africa, and Nepal, raising millions of dollars for various charities like World Vision and Save The Children.
In 2010, she became the youngest female to complete the Four Desert Grand Slam, a series of four 250 KM ultramarathons across the world's most unforgiving terrain, and in 2012 she ran 379km non-stop across Australia’s Simpson Desert, which took her 3 days, 14 hours and 28 minutes.
We explore the valuable lessons she's learned about perseverance, grit, and pushing beyond one's limits, and we discuss her passion for supporting other women with their running.
Samantha has been an enormous mentor of mine over the past 5 years and was the first person I reached out to when I was starting out on my own ultra-running journey.

I can’t thank Sam enough for her support and I hope you enjoy my conversation with this remarkable woman.

March 20, 2023 #08 - Benny Gorell - The DANGERS of Overtraining and Overworking Leading To CNS Fatigue
This episode on the podcast I caught up with Benny Gorell, a legend who I’ve become friends with since moving to the Gold Coast.

Benny is a driven individual with a powerful mind that has led him to achieve incredible things in his personal life like running a marathon, and professional life like running his own business. However, his body has struggled to keep up with his ambitious spirit, leading to a chronic state of exhaustion which has been troubling him for 3 years now.

In his own words Benny says “He has found his limit.” We explore the warning signs of central nervous system fatigue, how it can impact one's life, and the steps Benny has taken and is still taking to overcome this debilitating condition.

We also dive in to the dangers of running a marathon too quickly, and why it is vital to attack a marathon with a progressive and sustainable approach.

Benny’s story of central nervous system and adrenal fatigue is sad, but it’s real, and therefore it needs to be shared, because it could happen to anyone.

Join me as we explore the powerful mind and exhausted body of our inspiring guest Benny Gorell.

February 23, 2023 #07 - Dan Beard - Striving to be the best I can be
In this episode of the podcast, I caught up with Dan Beard.
His running resume is extraordinary with over 20 x 100km races, 5 x 100-mile races, and too many 50km races and marathons to count.
Over the past few years, we’ve spent plenty of time together running around Lilydale Lake, Ringwood Aths track, and in the Dandenong Ranges. We took on the Goggins 4 x 4 x 48 Challenge together and pushed each other to the limit!  We share a beautiful friendship and even though he doesn’t like to hear it, Beardy is a huge role model to me because of how we structures his training around family commitments and full-time work. He’s a dad and husband first but he still gets after it!
With a strong training history, years of racing, and very few injuries, I hope you learn something from Beardy. His attitude of always showing up and trying his best, and being open to giving everything a go, is something I believe takes you a long way in life.

February 09, 2023 #06 - Jye Dean - Founder of The Salt Social Run Club
This week on the podcast I caught up with Jye Dean, an inspiring runner, run coach and founder of The Salt Social Run Club based on the Gold Coast, Australia.  Jye and I strongly connect over our love for running and for helping others with their running.

Every Thursday morning we host the Salt Sessions together, a quality running session like hill sprints, fartlek or intervals, designed to improve our runners’ economy and efficiency.
As an exceptional runner and all around athlete from a young age, Jye shares his story of how he burnt out from running and overtraining, before finding his love for running again when COVID hit the world in 2020.  Jye has some big personal goals and goals for his athletes, and it was an honour for me to host him on his very first podcast.   

I hope you enjoy the conversation of two young and passionate running coaches.  If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a review and share it with others!

December 13, 2022 #05 - Jord Chen - Running for the joy of it | 33 Marathons in 33 Days
This week on the podcast I caught up with Jordan Chenery, an inspiring runner based on the Gold Coast, Australia.
Jord has become a close friend of mine since I made the move to the Gold Coast in July this year. We connected over our love for running and we both followed each other’s projects this year.
In June and July, Jord ran an incredible 33 marathons in 33 days, finishing his last marathon at the Gold Coast Marathon.  He has been running consistently for 20 years, and encourages others to play the long game when it comes to pushing their own body and mind.  He is a successful athlete and businessperson, and believes how you show up as an athlete transfers to the other areas of our lives.
Jord is a great example of someone with a holistic approach to running. With the right mindset and approach to nutrition, training and recovery, Jord shows us that you can run 6,000kms in a calendar year and still function at an incredibly high level in other areas of life.
Above everything, he always gives his time to others and offers help where he can, which is what I love most about him.
I hope you enjoy our conversation.

November 25, 2022 #04 - Zara John - Overcoming an eating disorder to become a powerhouse ultra runner
Episode 4 of the podcast involves me interviewing Zara John.
Zara is an inspiring 22 year old woman with a huge love for running, in particular, trail running. There were so many things I loved about this conversation.
Zara has run many half marathons, marathons, a 60km ultra marathon, and just recently at 100km Ultra Marathon.That is an impressive resume, and yet, unless you prompt that sort of discussion with her, you would never know because she's as humble as they come. In fact, Zara is so humble that when I asked her where people can find her on social media, she said she didn't know what her Instagram handle was.
Zara refers many times to the Salt Social, which is an amazing running community that our mutual friend JDE has created on the Gold Coast. Since making the move to the Gold Coast myself in July, I've been running with Zara at Salt Social every Tuesday morning. It's a nice and easy community run where people come together to promote positive, physical and mental health and community.

November 17, 2022 #03 - Pete Kavanagh - The GOAT for a reason | You're never too old to start running
Episode 3 of the podcast involves host Sean Bell interviewing Pete Kavanagh.
If you think you’re too old to take up running… think again.
When most people reach 59 years old, they focus on retirement, and they’re definitely not interested in taking up a new sport, or putting themselves through discomfort voluntarily.
Well Pete Kavanagh is an inspiration to many, because he is the polar opposite.
Over the past 2 years (from 59-61 years old), Pete has run 5 Ultra Marathons, 5 Marathons, and over 81 Half Marathons! This is including non-official events (that is running the distance of an official event but outside of an official event), but they are mind boggling numbers for someone who was sitting on a bar stool every Saturday with his mates just 2 years earlier.
Pete has found his passion with running, and in his own words “feels like [he’s] been doing it for a lifetime”. He loves running for charity and to help and inspire others, he is driven, disciplined, and no matter the weather, he just shows up and gets it done. That’s why inside the First42K community, he’s known as “the Goat for a reason.”
We love what Pete is doing in the running and wider community, and are proud to have him represent First42K as an ambassador.

November 04, 2022 #02 - Nikki Langman - 30 year Addict to Ultra Running BADASS
Episode 2 of the podcast involves host Sean Bell interviewing Nikki Langman.
As an international professional speaker, author, emotional intelligence expert, mother, wife and endurance athlete, Nikki is tremendously passionate about life, running and helping others live their most powerful lives by being a BADASS every day.
For over 30 years, Nikki was caught in the forceful grip of drug and alcohol addiction. Nikki’s inspiring and transformational journey overcoming addiction to become the person she is today, is one not to be missed!
Since 2018, Nikki has completed 31 running events, from 10k runs through to a 60km ultra marathon… not bad for someone who started running at 39 years old!
We love Nikki’s passion for life and we admire her for the work she does in the running world and wider community, which is why we are proud to have Nikki as an ambassador of First42K.
