In this Delirious WEST 2026 wrap-up episode, I catch up with Ben Pyman after his 100-mile adventure - and what a run he had.Ben takes us right back to the start line in Walpole, the nervous energy, the familiar faces, the late-night race briefing, and that feeling of finally being let loose into the dark. From there, we follow him through the beautiful, brutal, hilarious and slightly ridiculous journey that is Delirious WEST. There’s the early buzz of running with others, meeting fellow podcast

2026/04/27

In this Delirious WEST 2026 wrap-up episode, I catch up with Kylie Bell after her 100-mile adventure - and as always, Kylie brings such a calm, honest and experienced perspective to the conversation. Kylie has done plenty of big ultras before, but this year surprised her in one very specific way: she got properly tired. Not just “ultra tired” but weaving-on-the-trail, seeing-smiley-faces-in-rocks, cupboards-and-benches-in-the-bushes tired. 😄 We talk about the moment she decided to let go of the “I

The ZenRUN Podcast ·

2026/04/22

This week’s mindful moment invites you to slow down inside a stretch. Instead of rushing through your usual routine, choose one simple stretch—after a run, when you wake up, or anytime during the day—and hold it a little longer than usual. Not to force it. Not to chase flexibility. Just to breathe. As you stay there, notice what shifts. What feels tight? What softens? What feels surprisingly good? Let your body guide the depth and the release. This practice isn’t about performance—it’s about

In this very special wrap-up episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, Ben Pyman jumps into the host chair and chats with Michelle Frost and Nikki Frost about their experience tackling the Delirious West 200-miler side by side.

Episode 617 - MM - 218 - Pause at the threshold

The ZenRUN Podcast ·

2026/04/15

In this week’s mindful moment, we turn everyday doorways into tiny reset buttons. Pause at the threshold. Each time you walk through a doorway today - at home, at work, even into the fridge for a snack - stop for just a second. Feel your feet on the ground. Notice your breath. Become aware of the shift from one space to another. This small act transforms a mindless transition into an intentional one. Doorways are thresholds - not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. Let them remind you

What happens when a kid who just wanted a motorbike ends up falling in love with endurance sport instead? In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with Rick Prince, founder of UESCA (https://uesca.com/) - the organisation where I completed my Ultra Running Coach Certification last year. Rick shares the story of how a cool red cycling helmet, a job in a local bike shop, and a love of being outside helped shape a lifelong passion for endurance sport. We talk about Rick’s early years growing up

Episode 615 - MM - 217 - Watch a candle flicker

The ZenRUN Podcast ·

2026/04/08

This week’s mindful moment invites you to slow down with something beautifully simple: watch a candle flicker. Light a candle and sit quietly for a few minutes, letting your attention rest on the gentle movement of the flame. Notice how it responds to the air, how it dances and steadies. You can let your breath soften to match its rhythm, or simply observe without trying to control anything. If your mind wanders, gently bring it back to the flame. There’s something almost hypnotic about this

Faith shares her fascinating path from growing up in a tiny town in Massachusetts, to working with horses and veterinarians, to starting college later in life, earning a master’s in oceanography, and then unexpectedly finding running after a tornado devastated her hometown and

The ZenRUN Podcast ·

2026/04/01

This week’s mindful moment is beautifully simple and deeply grounding: trace your hand with your breath. Place one hand palm-up and slowly trace the outline of each finger with the index finger of your other hand. Inhale as you move up a finger, exhale as you move down. Continue around your whole hand, then switch sides.This tactile practice gently links breath and body, giving your mind something steady to focus on. It’s especially helpful when your thoughts feel busy or scattered. In just a few

In this Check-In 6 episode of the Delirious WEST 2026 series, I chat with Eve Knudson just two weeks out from the big event. Eve shares how her final training block has gone - including a tough 32km end-to-end where water ran out before the cafe stop, a slow and steady heritage marathon effort, and the deep fatigue that seems to arrive right on cue when taper begins. She talks about testing her full race pack, finding a vest that finally feels like a second skin, and learning that some of the

We are getting very close to the Delirious WEST 2026 start line, and in this check-in Ben Pyman is sounding calm, thoughtful and ready to get on with it. We chat about his biggest theme this year - consistency - and how a solid stretch of steady training has given him confidence heading into race day. Ben shares how his taper is unfolding, what he’s learned from last year, and how he’s keeping things simple with self-crewed drop bags, careful caffeine planning and a very practical approach to race

In this Delirious 2026 athlete check-in, I catch up with Matthew Farrand as the start line gets very, very close. And wow - life is definitely not slowing down for him. Between peak training, a knee niggle, putting the house on the market, solo parenting part of the week, and all the chaos that comes with normal life, Matthew has had plenty going on. But as we know… sometimes all the messy, challenging stuff is just part of the training too. We chat about the injury that forced him to back off at

The ZenRUN Podcast ·

2026/03/25

This week’s mindful moment is a gentle reset for modern life: take a mindful micro-break from your screen. If you’re spending hours at a computer or on your phone, set a simple cue to pause every hour. Look away from the screen. Stand up. Stretch your arms, roll your shoulders, and take three long, steady breaths. It only takes 30–60 seconds, but it gives your nervous system a chance to recalibrate. This isn’t slacking off—it’s smart self-regulation. Presence fuels productivity far more than

Karin Ridley is just 3 weeks out from the Delirious start line, and this check-in has a bit of everything - red dirt, FIFO life, physio wins, date nights, beer laps, and a whole lot of determination. Karin shares what it’s been like starting a new job in the Pilbara while still trying to train, including 2:30am wake-ups, hot evening walk-runs in 38 degrees, and finding a routine that actually works. She also gives a great update on her injury recovery, with the exciting news that her physio has

This time we dive into his fascinating experiment with continuous glucose and ketone monitoring, where he shares what he learned about food, focus, fatigue, exercise and even how mentally demanding work can create a response similar to a hard run. It’s a brilliant reminder

2026/03/18

This week’s mindful moment is beautifully simple and surprisingly powerful: speak one sentence slowly. Choose a sentence—like “I have time to breathe”- and say it aloud with intention. Pause between each word. Feel how the sound vibrates in your body and how your breath naturally steadies as you slow down. We often rush our words when our minds are racing, but your voice can become a tool to calm your nervous system.Whether you try it before a meeting, in the car, or while doing the dishes, this

As always, Sym takes it all in her stride. We talk about her latest training block, racing at Hell of the West, dealing with heat, humidity, and a lingering injury that thankfully isn’t stopping her moving forward.There’s also plenty of classic Sym humour in this one - from her poor damaged bike, to

From there, it’s been a full month of adventure, including family time in Albury-Wodonga, parkrun, beach hiking, a girls’ trip to the Stirling Ranges, and

This week’s mindful moment invites you to slow down during an everyday transition: dry yourself mindfully. After your next shower or bath, take an extra minute to truly notice the experience. Feel the towel against your skin, the contrast between cool air and warmth, and the gentle movements of your body as you reach different areas. Instead of rushing through, let this be a full-body check-in.There’s something deeply grounding about caring for your body in this fresh, in-between state—clean,

And as you’ll hear… the last few weeks haven’t exactly gone to plan. Nikki has been managing a stubborn ITB injury, juggling moving house, searching for a new gym in Melbourne, and figuring out how to keep training without making things worse. The good news? The injury is improving — but it has meant missing events like Gone Nuts 75K, which brought
