Tara and I love running at Whites Hill reserve in Camp Hill. So much so that we have established a regular Friday morning run with Brisbane Trail Runners.
Today we chat about the reserve, its history and then we catch up with Koala rescue expert - John Knight.
If you see an injured Koala in this area call John on 0438075156

To learn more about the history of Whites Hill.

Ulrik is an exercise physiologist and scientist who is on sabbatical from Norway and currently based at UQ here in Brisbane. He specialises in how exercise influences both our heart and our brain. Tara and I chat with him about interval training, smart watches and how his investigations into cardiac health means pushing your heart to high intensity is actually safe and very good for you!

Bryce created an event to help celebrate his 60th year, a 60 kilometer run through his favourite runs, trails and walks across Brisbane. He invited friends from all the communities he is a part of and got his family involved in organising it and being the support crew. It went really well and this podcast is a debrief from Bryce and others who took part about the day.

Dr Cora Lau is a seriously impressive human being. Super smart, super fit and lovely to chat with. Her insight into the way we get to know our bodies and consequently manage pain is part of what makes her a great ultra marathon runner. Her work as a scientist and her history with the leadership of the BTU ultra marathon event in Brisbane makes her a very interesting person to chat with.

Three of our trail running buddies have recently completed 50k events. Dominique and Kristen did the Noosa Trail Ultra and Jayme did Yandina. We give a bit of detail about these events and chat with them while we walk together at Toohey Forrest.

Bryce and Tara share a bit about themselves and thier hopes for this podcast.
