    Episode 672 - From 130kg Gamer to Backyard Ultra Enthusiast | Bart Campbell
    2026/08/31
    In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the incredibly inspiring Bart Campbell. Bart grew up in the Adelaide Hills and, by his own admission, wasn’t the sporty kid. He was the chubby kid hanging out the back of the softball field, more interested in computers, movies and gaming than running. By his early twenties, he weighed around 130 kilograms, had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and spent most evenings sitting at a computer while his wife brought dinner to his desk. If you’d met Bart back then, you probably wouldn’t have picked him as someone who’d go on to develop a real passion for ultra running and backyard ultras. But that’s exactly what happened. This is one of those conversations that reminds us how much a life can change through small decisions made consistently over time. Bart shares the remarkable story of his dad, a Vietnam veteran who transformed his own life after years of struggling with trauma, addiction and alcoholism. That example became one of the biggest influences on Bart’s belief that people are never stuck where they are. From there we follow Bart’s own journey as he slowly started taking better care of himself. It began with simply jogging to work, then hiking Mount Lofty, then entering a trail race… and discovering that maybe he was capable of far more than he’d ever imagined. These days Bart has completed countless ultras, developed a real passion for backyard ultras, and loves sharing what he’s learned through his running videos and daily Running Wisdom series. We also chat about: growing up in a blended family in the Adelaide Hillsbeing diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in his early twentieslosing a significant amount of weight and changing the direction of his lifewhy tiny daily improvements matter more than massive changeshis love of storytelling and creating running videoshis Running Wisdom series, which he’s recorded every single day for more than two yearswhat backyard ultras have taught him about himselfwhy he believes everyone should find “their thing”, whether that’s running or something completely different As always, there are plenty of laughs along the way, including stories about jumping off sheds into swimming pools, accidentally meeting his future wife while chasing another girl, travelling the world, filming ultras, and why Ross Noble unexpectedly became part of one of Bart’s favourite running stories. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to change your life, Bart’s story is a wonderful reminder that your next step can take you somewhere completely unexpected. Links mentioned in this episode UltraRunning Statistics (UltraRunning Stats)Bart’s Running Wisdom videos Bart’s Tips for Runners Bart shares some beautifully simple advice throughout this conversation. Start before you feel ready. You don’t need a perfect plan. You don’t need to know where the journey ends. Sometimes all you need is the first step. He also reminds us that real change rarely happens because of one massive decision. It’s the tiny choices, repeated consistently, that completely change your life. Whether that’s jogging to work, walking up a local hill, joining parkrun or simply putting your running shoes on, those little actions eventually become something much bigger. And perhaps Bart’s biggest message is this: Find your thing. For him, it was running. For someone else it might be something entirely different. Find the activity that helps you become a better version of yourself, then keep showing up for it. Pass the Baton Bart answers Kat Cacavas’s question: “What is your most precious memory while running?” His answer might surprise you. Rather than choosing a podium finish or a major race, Bart talks about throwing up after one of his first trail races because it was the first time he’d truly discovered what he was capable of when he pushed beyond what he thought were his limits. Bart also leaves a fantastic question for my next guest… You’ll need to listen right to the end to hear what it is. Enjoy! ❤️ 💛 Want to feel like a runner again?

    Episode 671 - ZenRUN Moment 13: Notice one beautiful thing
    2026/08/27

    How many times have you finished a run and realised you barely noticed where you were?

    It’s easy to spend an entire run focused on pace, distance, or the thoughts swirling around in our heads. This week’s ZenRUN Moment is a gentle reminder to look up, look around, and notice just one beautiful thing during your run.

    It doesn’t have to be anything extraordinary. It could be sunlight filtering through the trees, a dog happily hanging out a car window, fog rolling across a paddock, birds gliding overhead, rain glistening on the road, or the smile from another runner as you pass. These little moments are happening around us every day, yet they’re so easy to miss when we’re rushing from one kilometre to the next.

    One of the greatest gifts of running is that it gives us a front-row seat to the world. We get to experience changing seasons, shifting light, fresh air, and little moments of joy that people driving past may never notice. The more we train ourselves to look for these moments, the more running becomes something we experience rather than simply complete.

    So on your next run, don’t put pressure on yourself to notice everything. Just look for one beautiful thing. It might stay with you long after the run is over.

    Small moments of awareness like this can completely change the way running feels.

    💛 Want to feel like a runner again?

    If this conversation resonated, Feel Like a Runner Again will help you get back to enjoying your running. It’s packed with practical tools and guided runs to help you quiet your mind, run with less pressure, and reconnect with the runner you already are.

  • Episode 670 - Running Through Life’s Different Seasons with Kat Cacavas

    Episode 670 - Running Through Life’s Different Seasons with Kat Cacavas
    2026/08/24
    In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the wonderful Kat Cacavas. Kat is a dietitian, health promotion officer, yoga teacher, marathon runner, charity founder, traveller and someone who has spent much of her life helping other people live healthier lives. She grew up in Melbourne in a family where movement was simply part of everyday life. Running, dancing, swimming, surf lifesaving, athletics… if there was a sport going, chances are Kat gave it a go. Although she loved running from a young age, dancing was her first love for many years. It wasn’t until her early twenties that running started taking centre stage, eventually leading her to marathons all over the world. Including one of the most extraordinary first marathons I’ve ever heard. Kat’s debut marathon wasn’t in Melbourne, Sydney or the Gold Coast. It was in Sierra Leone. That race became the beginning of something much bigger than simply running 42.2 kilometres. Over the past decade, Kat has built an incredible connection with Sierra Leone through running, eventually founding the Make Ways Foundation, which now supports young people through movement, education and opportunity. What started with taking donated running shoes in her suitcase has grown into a registered charity, three shipping containers of sporting equipment, a community sports store and employment for local people. It’s one of those stories that reminds you just how powerful running can be. We also chat about Kat’s career as a dietitian and health promotion officer, why food doesn’t have to be complicated, how clever supermarket marketing influences our choices, and why chasing the latest fad diet rarely solves the real problem. Kat also shares something deeply personal. For the past three years she and her husband have been navigating IVF. She talks honestly about how fertility treatment has repeatedly interrupted her running, the emotional impact of constantly rebuilding fitness, and how she’s learned to rediscover the joy of simply running again whenever she gets the chance. It’s a beautiful conversation about resilience, identity and remembering that running can look different in different seasons of life. Along the way we also chat about: Growing up in Melbourne and discovering a love of running and dancing.Running half marathons through Paris and Nice while travelling.Completing her first marathon in the heat and humidity of Sierra Leone.Why running holidays are one of the best ways to explore a new place.Building strength after repeated ankle injuries… including one caused by stepping on a mango!Why runners shouldn’t underestimate yoga, breathing and mobility.How running has given Kat friendship, adventure, purpose and community.The original Athens Marathon and why it’s firmly on Kat’s bucket list. Kat’s running tips Running doesn’t have to look the same in every season of life.Build your identity around more than just running.Running while travelling is one of the best ways to experience a new place.Don’t ignore your body when something doesn’t feel right.Yoga can improve strength, mobility, breathing and body awareness for runners.Sometimes the greatest running memories come from the people you meet, not the finish line.
