Episode 679 - ZenRUN Moment 17: Notice when you start enjoying yourself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever noticed the exact moment during a run when you start actually enjoying yourself? This week’s ZenRUN Moment is about something that sounds obvious, but most of us probably miss it: notice when you start enjoying yourself. There’s often a point where the run shifts. Your body loosens up. Your breathing settles. You stop thinking quite so much. Maybe you even catch yourself smiling for absolutely no reason at all. That moment matters because it reminds us that running isn’t only about
Episode 678 - Redefining What Running Looks Like with Alissa Wilkinson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when running has always been part of who you are… and suddenly your body changes what running can look like? This week on the ZenRUN Podcast, I’m chatting with runner, triathlete and physiotherapist Alissa Wilkinson.

Episode 676 - From Hating Running to Chasing the Impossible with Frank Collins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Frank Collins hated running growing up. These days, he seems to have a habit of looking for running challenges that appear slightly ridiculous and thinking, that sounds good. 😂 In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with Frank about how someone who didn’t enjoy school sport or road running found his place on the trails, and eventually discovered that the harder and more technical the challenge, the more interested he became. We chat about his rather eventful introduction to ultra running,
Episode 675 - ZenRUN Moment: 15: Slow down when your mind races (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not every difficult run is caused by tired legs. Sometimes it's our thoughts that make the run feel harder than it really is. We start telling ourselves we're too slow, not fit enough, or that we should be running better. Before long, our mind is working against us instead of with us. This week's ZenRUN Moment is about recognising those moments and responding with kindness instead of more pressure. If you notice your thoughts starting to spiral during a run, try something that might feel a littl
