What would you do if you were told, that best case scenario, you might live to 30?

In this episode, you’ll meet Adrian Flor… now 42, living with cystic fibrosis and diabetes, and running marathons.

His journey wasn’t straightforward. From childhood health challenges, to serious illness, to being hit by a car... Adrian had to rebuild from scratch.

It started with a treadmill. A goal to run 5K. And the fear of coming last at parkrun.

What followed changed everything...

What does it feel like inside Brisbane’s oldest sporting club?

In this special episode of Runbelievable, Joshie steps away from the usual one-on-one format and heads down to Thompson Estate Athletics and Running Club (TEES Athletics) to find out.

Established in 1900, TEES is Brisbane’s oldest sporting club. On a perfect Monday evening, with close to 100 runners, Joshie set out to capture something simple… the spirit of training.

What followed was anything but simple.

From sprint groups flying past at full speed, to kids laughing trackside, to coaches driving their athletes, this episode brings you inside the energy of a real running community. Along the way, you’ll hear from coaches, the club president, and runners of all ages and abilities... each sharing what keeps them coming back.

This isn’t a polished race recap or a single story.

It’s the sound of running, exactly as it happens.

In her own words, Mary Booth "was the most unsporty child you could ever imagine"!

Growing up, she avoided sport wherever possible; even hiding in the bathroom to get out of PE. But life had other plans.

After joining Defence and pushing through early fitness struggles, Mary’s journey took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in her early twenties. Months of pain, weight loss, and uncertainty forced her to rethink everything she knew about her body.

In this episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty sit down with Mary to talk about what it means to run with chronic illness... and why, for her, running became a way to reclaim control.

From cycling to ease symptoms, to discovering parkrun, to eventually completing half marathons, Mary’s story is one of resilience, planning, and learning to work with your body rather than against it.

Now, through her platform “Sore Tummy Runner,” she’s helping others navigate the realities of running with Crohn’s.
