2023/02/05

Today in season 2, episode 2, I interview Brisbane runner, Matthew Hansen. Hanso, as he is known in running circles is the youngest guest I've had on the podcast, but it certainly didn't seem that way. Having run at a high level for almost 5 years now, Hanso speaks of the sport as if he's been in it for 20. Having learnt a lot from Border Striders at a young age and the BERT squad in his later years of high school amongst other influences, Hanso is very well versed as a runner and scholar in the

2023/01/28

In 2006, Nick left Nudgee College as the fastest 800m runner in the country for his age. In fact, he still holds the Nudgee record for the event at 1:48. Post school, as you could imagine Nick headed to America with huge dreams, but as the years passed by, it didn’t play out the way he had probably wished. As much as learnt abroad, injury, burnout and stress were all a prominent part of his experience in America. Although eventually dropping his 800m time sub 1:48, ultimately the challenges had

Today in episode 29, I interview Brisbane runner, Callum Davies. Cal has got to be an elite Australian runner to watch. Only in his early 20s, he is still massively on the race, particularly in the events between the 1500m and 5k. Attending Villanova College as a boy, Cal was a strong runner in school, but certainly not breaking records. After his first few years of leaving school, he dropped his 1500m by over 10 seconds to hitting low 3:40s. He can now run as fast as 3:37 in the 1500m, 3:56 in the

Today in episode 24, I interview Brisbane runner, Rory McHugh. Although still quite a young man, Rory’s life to date has certainly seen some darker times. After drinking his way through his late teens and early 20s Rory, found running as a way of curtailing such habits that were inevitably leading to poor mental health. Today he is strong advocate for mental health, demonstrated clearly by his contributions to the Move for Movember cause. In fact, in 2021, Rory ran a marathon everyday for the month

He is so confident, yet down to earth which makes his words and stories of his running so interesting and entertaining. In school Wayne was constantly let down in his attempts at sprinting events and often coming last.
