After college athletics ended, Faith felt the identity loss so many runners know “there’s a moment where you almost lose your identity after collegiate sports” . But one marathon changed everything.

In this episode, we explore a journey built on joy, grit, and connection from sprinting the 400m in college to discovering the mental strength needed for 26.2. From running her first marathon hand‑in‑hand with her dad to qualifying for Boston by just five seconds. From getting lost on the Iceland volcano course to finding confidence again on the streets of Boston.

Faith shares how running became her way to inspire others “if I’m able to inspire one person, I’m happy with that” and why chasing a marathon in every state (and a sub‑3:20) is the next big dream.

If you love stories about resilience, family, and the magic of the running community, this one will stay with you long after the run is over.

Simone Carniglia joins the show from Italy with a remarkable story of resilience and precision. In just seven years, he’s gone from recovering after surgery and weighing nearly 130kg to becoming the world record holder for the fastest person with Type 1 Diabetes to complete all six and all seven World Major Marathons. We talk about how a spontaneous 10K in Milan changed his life, how he’s now run 20 marathons around the world, and what it truly takes to race at a high level while managing a condition that demands constant attention. Simone opens up about the mental load, the nightly alarms, the risks, and the discipline behind every run — and how he helped open the door for athletes with T1D to be recognised by Guinness World Records. A powerful conversation about overcoming obstacles, redefining limits, and inspiring others to do the same.

In this week’s episode we sit down with Will an inspiring runner whose journey began in the wake of personal loss and has grown into something extraordinary. From raising over $25,000 for MND through his first ultra, to qualifying for Boston with a blistering 2:47 at Canberra, Will’s story is one of resilience, family, and sheer determination. Now, he’s chasing history as the youngest Australian to run all seven World Marathon Majors in a single year. We talk about his beginnings, the emotional drive behind his challenges, and his first major of the year where we met at Tokyo Marathon.

This is more than a running story it’s about purpose, grit, and the power of chasing something bigger than yourself.

This week, we’re joined by Cooper from Aletheia Run, the groundbreaking wearable that measures motion directly from your center of mass giving runners a clearer picture of their form than ever before.

Cooper breaks down why most runners never see the real breakdowns happening in their stride, how center‑of‑mass data changes the game, and what you can actually do with that insight. We dive into smarter training, better movement patterns, injury prevention, and the small daily habits that make a huge difference over time.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s really happening beneath the surface of your run or how to train with more intention, efficiency, and longevity this conversation will shift the way you think about your body and your stride.
