Local Legends in Running Podcast ·

2022/06/18

Today in episode 10, I interview former Olympian, Krishna Stanton. Krishna represented Australia in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona in the 3000m. She is also a two-time Commonwealth Games representative in the 1994 Games in the 10,000m and the 2002 Games in the Marathon. Ironically, Krishna delves into why she reflects on the Commonwealth Games and even the Sydney City 2 Surf win in 1992 as arguably more meaningful experiences than her very proud achievement of the Olympic Games. Krishna is open

Episode 8 - Jake Townsend

Local Legends in Running Podcast ·

2022/06/04

Jake’s story is genuinely inspirational. Between the age of 20 and 30 Jake was hardly running; instead, he was leading a life of drinking and smoking. At the age of now 40, Jake completes a very regimented weekly program and has recorded PBs as fast as 16:30 for the 5k and 1:16 for the half marathon. Anyone can look at Jake’s running times from years ago and until now and it is clear that he has improved as runner. What we don’t see in these observations though, is the personal self-development Jake

Local Legends in Running Podcast ·

2022/05/21

Dan is a true legend in the ultra-running world. Although a man who has put down some very respectful times on the road, it’s his endurance both physically and mentally that makes him unique in the local running community. Not shy to wake up at 3am to fit in his 50+km runs, Dan’s training regime is one to truly admire.

He has been on the competitive scene for the last 15 years and in this time has managed to win the Brisbane Marathon in 2008, place in several major fun runs and officially hold the most parkrun course records across Australia from any runner.

Episode 4 - Katie Dall

Local Legends in Running Podcast ·

2022/04/23

Brisbane's Katie Dall is as inspiring as a runner, as she is a coach. Running in her life has taken many forms, but has probably been more present at the the ultra distance level. Katie's background in fitness is highly varied; she has competed as a body builder, weight lifter and triathlete, to name a few. Her focus more recently has been on her Brisbane running group and business, Club KT, which was founded in 2020 recently after the influx of COVID in Australia. Club KT has seen great successes
