Episode 20 - Wayne Spies

Local Legends in Running Podcast ·

2022/09/18

Today in episode 20, I interview Australian runner, Wayne Spies. There’s something truly special about talking to Wayne. 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. It wasn’t until his primary school athletics coach in year 7 said Wayne, you’ve got to try the mile, that Wayne actually experienced some success. At 18, just after

Local Legends in Running Podcast ·

2022/08/14

Adrian never ran as a child or even young adult. Now as a high performing master’s athlete at 54, Adrian Royce was also a self-confessed functioning alcoholic just 10 years ago. In this short time he has managed to run further and faster every year to achieve times as quick as 1:16 for the half marathon and 2:44 in the marathon as a 50years+ athlete. His enjoyment for the sport comes from a burning desire to get the very best out of himself despite his older age; and it is truly remarkable and

2022/08/08

Foggy as he is colloquially known in running circles, was born in England and moved to Australia in his early years. He credits the Australian education system as to why he started the sport in the first place, claiming if it wasn’t for the compulsory participation of school children in cross country events around the country, he may have never found his current passion. Foggy started to make representative teams late in primary school, which he continued to do in high school, eventually graduating

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.

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

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.

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

Clay Dawson's name is synonymous with the Brisbane running scene. When you think of running in Brisbane, you think of Clay Dawson.
