The Catch Me Up Episode
This episode is a full catch-up on everything that’s been happening behind the scenes.
From hitting sub-20 five weeks in a row, to PB’ing across multiple distances, to preparing for the Sydney Marathon — and then stepping off the course with a high hamstring tendinopathy injury.
I talk openly about:
• Losing momentum on socials
• How my run streak shapes every decision
• The mental toll of ongoing pain
• Why I’m still getting up and running 8 km every day
• The moment everything unravelled mid-race
• And the quote that reminded me I’ve got unfinished business
Sydney 2026… I’m coming back.
