    73: Limitless: Running, Cystic Fibrosis & Redefining What’s Possible; A Runners Journey
    2026/10/03
    This week we sit down with James a runner whose story is as tough as it is inspiring. Growing up with cystic fibrosis, James was told he’d have no quality of life and might not make it past childhood. Today, he’s running half marathons, marathons, and even a 50km ultra. James breaks down what CF actually is, how it affects the lungs, digestion, salt levels, and daily life, and why “don’t Google it” is the first thing he tells people. He shares the reality of taking 30+ tablets a day, managing dehydration, cramping, mucus buildup, and the constant battle to stay healthy all while pushing himself further than anyone ever expected. We dive into his running journey, from hating running to discovering a mindset shift that changed everything. As he shares, “I was told I was limited… that’s why my page is called limitless.” James talks ultras, marathons, nutrition, the mental game, the support of his partner and daughter, and the messages he receives from families affected by CF who see hope in what he’s doing. It’s emotional, uplifting, and a reminder that running can rewrite the story you were told about your life. A powerful conversation about resilience, mindset, and proving that limits aren’t always real.

    This week we chat with Esti, whose running journey is nothing short of incredible. After years of battling autoimmune conditions and undergoing life-changing surgery, Esti discovered running as a way to rebuild both physically and mentally. What started as a first marathon in 4:18 became a journey towards a 2:55 marathon, building a supportive community online, and inspiring others living with inflammatory bowel disease and stomas to believe that life doesn't stop after surgery. But this episode isn't just about fast times. It's about resilience. It's about perspective. And it's about learning that sometimes the biggest win isn't chasing another PB... it's knowing when to prioritise your health. From running the Cali Marathon in Colombia to becoming one of the most recognisable faces at Sydney Marathon 2026, Esti shares his story with honesty, humour and an incredible amount of heart. This is a conversation we know will inspire a lot of people.
