Brent Ford discovered his love for running when he tipped the scales at 140.8 kilograms, often shuffling around his suburb of Canberra, working through the distances of five kilometres, to ten, before running a half marathon in 2019.
But, it was after testing his body during his first ultra at Stromlo that he truly fell in love with the sport, and it was through sharing his own journey to 100 kilometres that he realised there were many incredible stories to be told.
This is a podcast for those who are yet to find their limit, and are keen to hear how others are going about finding theirs. As a journalist with a curious nature, Peak2Soon tells the story of everyday people doing incredible things in the sport of trail and ultra running.

All Heart: Why Anthony Cribbes Went Back To The Grampians
Anthony Cribbes' story is one that will inspire many, but his young daughter Tallulah, who earlier this year fought for her life, has her incredible dad covered.
Despite Anthony's incredible feats in the Grampians, and at a number of Victoria's toughest ultras, Tallulah was forced to fight for her life at just two weeks old.
She was diagnosed with Supraventricular Tachycardia, a condition where the heart beats too fast because of abnormal electrical signals in the upper chambers of the heart, and for little Tallulah it was life threatening.
It saw Anthony go on to run at the Grampions 100 Mile Trail event again. But, as you'll find out, he went there with a new perspective on life, a chance to give back.
In the process Anthony has already raised more than $11,000, but if you feel inspired after this episode you can donate here.
An inspiring story, of an inspiring family, get the tissues ready because this one is an emotional rollercoaster.
