| 4/28/26 |  Ep 30: This Brisbane Run Club Has Been Around Since 1900… Here’s Why It Still Works | What does it feel like inside Brisbane’s oldest sporting club? In this special episode of Runbelievable, Joshie steps away from the usual one-on-one format and heads down to Thompson Estate Athletics and Running Club (TEES Athletics) to find out. Established in 1900, TEES is Brisbane’s oldest sporting club. On a perfect Monday evening, with close to 100 runners, Joshie set out to capture something simple… the spirit of training. What followed was anything but simple. From sprint groups fl... | 44m 36s | ||||||
| 4/21/26 | Ep 29: Running with Crohn’s: The Reality No One Sees | In her own words, Mary Booth "was the most unsporty child you could ever imagine"! Growing up, she avoided sport wherever possible; even hiding in the bathroom to get out of PE. But life had other plans. After joining Defence and pushing through early fitness struggles, Mary’s journey took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in her early twenties. Months of pain, weight loss, and uncertainty forced her to rethink everything she knew about her body. In this episode o... | 51m 55s | ||||||
| 4/20/26 | BONUS: Nasty Newcastle Nails (Runbelievable Recap) | Fresh off race day, Shona Farr returns for a Runbelievable Recap… a real, unfiltered debrief whilst the mind is fresh but the body is a mess. No polished summary. No highlight reel. Just the honest reality of how the day unfolded… physically, mentally, and everything in between. We talk about: The worst lead up you can imagineWhat surprised her most on the day What it felt like crossing the finish line Why a marathon will NEVER be on the cards ("slap me" she says)https://www.instagr... | 18m 52s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | Ep 28: The Day I Caught Coolio... and a Rare Moth | In 2015, Dan Creeber was truly out of shape. A holiday in Majorca became a turning point...and what started with a weekly parkrun soon turned into something much bigger. Fast forward to today, and Dan has logged over 10,000 kilometres, built a routine around running, and committed to completing a marathon every year “until he can’t.” But his story isn’t just about miles. In this uplifting episode of Runbelievable, Joshie sits down with Dan to talk about fatherhood, mental health, and the mome... | 47m 24s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | Ep 27: Diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer… She Refused to Stop Running | Robyn Bell was flying. 2022 had been a golden year... PBs, momentum, everything clicking. Then, just days into 2023, she found a lump. Within weeks, she went from parkrun to chemotherapy. In this powerful episode of Runbelievable, Joshie sits down with Robyn to talk about what happened next; and why, despite everything, she kept running. Through chemotherapy, major surgeries, and ongoing fatigue, running became the one thing she could control. Whilst others questioned her life choices, Robyn ... | 54m 35s | ||||||
| 3/24/26 | Ep 26: Minties, Marathons and Motherhood... How Running Helped Reclaim Her Identity | Lauren Smith is truly in the thick of it. A full-time teacher. A mum. Running on broken sleep. And trying to carve out something for herself in between everything else. Lauren has faced pregnancy complications, gestational diabetes, and the heartbreak of loss... all whilst navigating the physical and emotional challenges of postpartum recovery. And yet, she kept showing up. In this episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Natty sit down with Lauren to talk about resilience, identity, and what it ... | 1h 07m 42s | ||||||
| 3/17/26 | Ep 25: Starting Over at 33… parkrun Changed Everything! | At 33 years old, Jen Dossetto found herself starting over. Her marriage had ended, she had moved back in with her parents, and for the first time in years she was trying to rediscover who she was outside of a relationship that had slowly taken over her life. Then her sister suggested something simple: parkrun. Jen had never been a runner, but something about the idea sparked a curiosity... and it completely transformed her life. In this episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Natty sit down with... | 50m 33s | ||||||
| 3/10/26 | Ep 24: Who Needs Strava…? He Built a Running Spreadsheet in 1994 | Brett Petersen has been logging every single exercise session since 1994. Yup, madness! Long before Strava and smartwatches existed, Brett opened a spreadsheet and started tracking his runs. Three decades later, the streak continues. In this episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Natty (yes, you read correctly) sit down with Brett to unpack a lifetime shaped by running. From sprinting 2k home from kindergarten as a 5-year old (his poor Mum) to running a 16:24 5k in the Olympic Day Run, Brett’s ... | 57m 18s | ||||||
| 3/3/26 | Ep 23: When the Borders Closed… She Had to Start Over | Channa Marsh knows what it means to reset. In 2020, she travelled from Perth to Queensland for a triathlon… and never went home. COVID border closures stripped away her house, job direction, and community overnight. What followed was months of rebuilding; and a shift from triathlon to running that would redefine her path. Since then, Channa has podiumed in road races, won the SEQ Trail Series long course, endured her first DNF after tearing ankle ligaments at Kosci, and somehow still finished... | 58m 30s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | Ep 22: Chasing a Boston Qualifier… Through Loss and Life Transformation | Jill Genereux never saw herself as “the runner type.” When she started running in 2015, her first mile took 18 minutes.. and she nearly burnt herself out trying to improve too quickly. But what began as a weight-loss and mental-clarity experiment slowly evolved into something far deeper. In this powerful episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty sit down with Jill to unpack her transformation; from burnout and rebuilding, to winter trail miles in Montana, to running a 5K alongside her dad be... | 45m 12s | ||||||

| 2/17/26 | Ep 21: When Running Hurts… Here’s What You Should Actually Do | Most runners ignore injury advice… until they can’t run. Joe Keain is different. An endorsed podiatrist and director at Podfit Podiatry in Adelaide... and a runner himself... Joe understands both sides of the injury conversation. From shin splints and Achilles tendinopathy to load management, orthotics, and overuse, he’s lived the mistakes many runners repeat. In this episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty sit down with Joe to talk about running as an outlet, the fine line between pain an... | 44m 02s | ||||||
| 2/10/26 | Ep 20: Life Didn’t Look the Same After 3 Kids…But She Refused to Give Up | Ari Ethel has always been active; but running didn’t become hers until life became proper full. After competitive Division II soccer, three kids, and a schedule that never slowed down, running shifted from off-season conditioning to a non-negotiable outlet. What started as short, humbling runs.. became a steady practice that helped her manage anxiety, reclaim autonomy, and rebuild identity on her own terms. In this episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty talk with Ari about the mental rese... | 53m 08s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | Ep 19: Santa Suits, Scooters… and Six Marathons | Rodney Law might be the most recognisable face in the local running community... and not just because he’s routinely dressed as Santa. Since being talked into a 500km relay back in 2014, Rodney’s running journey has been filled with highs, humour, and a truly impressive list of setbacks. Narcosis of the toes, a torn meniscus, bike crashes, and a near on-course collision with a car... yet he keeps coming back with the same grin and willingness to give back. In this episode of Runbelievable, Jo... | 49m 11s | ||||||
| 1/27/26 | Ep 18: Six Bowel Surgeries Later... How on Earth Is She Still Running? | Carly Barkle’s running journey isn’t a straight line... it’s a true masterclass in persistence. From elite junior sport and state-level netball to months of illness with glandular fever, chronic fatigue, single parenting, and a staggering run of surgeries, Carly’s story is defined not by uninterrupted success, but by her refusal to stay down (as she says, get knocked down seven times. get up eight). In this powerful episode of Runbelievable, Carly unpacks what it takes to keep coming back. Fr... | 53m 13s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | Ep 17: At 60, She Just Wanted to Walk 5K… What Happened Next Wasn’t the Plan | Shona Farr didn’t set out to become a runner; she just wanted to walk 5k in under 50min. What started as power-walking at the back of the pack quietly turned into running, racing, injury setbacks, and a deep love for the running community. Along the way, Shona navigated a broken ankle (in fact, twice), torn ligaments, post-menopause training, and the self-doubt that comes with starting later in life. In this truly uplifting episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty chat with Shona about goin... | 51m 43s | ||||||
| 1/13/26 | Ep 16: Weaponising Change... How to Turn Pain Into Power | Will Pattinson didn’t ease into change; he went all in. After years of a destructive lifestyle, Will reached a point where something snapped. No dramatic trigger. No slow build. Just a day where he’d had enough. What followed was a radical lifestyle overhaul that began with daily steps and quickly evolved into marathon running, ultra distances, and an uncompromising commitment to change. In this raw and fast-moving episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty sit down with Will to unpack how he... | 49m 29s | ||||||
| 1/6/26 | Ep 15: Fixing a Hole in Her Heart: That's Where It All Started | Nat Rischin never saw herself as a runner. She grew up doubting her physical ability, struggled with confidence, and spent years stopping and starting; both in running and in believing in herself. What began with a 5km "fun run" in 2008... while still smoking... slowly evolved into something far deeper. Through knee pain, health scares, heart surgery, near-miss goals, and plenty of self-doubt, Nat kept showing up... and always with more grit than she gave herself credit for. In this deeply pe... | 57m 12s | ||||||
| 12/21/25 | Ep 14: A Very Runbelievable Christmas: A Podcast at parkrun WTAF! | Nothing says Christmas like dragging your festive pudding to parkrun and sticking a microphone in people’s faces (we literally did that!). In this very special Christmas episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty take the podcast out of the studio and straight to their local parkrun for a festive vox-pop extravaganza. From milestone runners and volunteers to semi-elites and everyday legends who were just happy to still be standing in the Brisbane humidity, this episode captures the true spiri... | 28m 52s | ||||||
| 12/16/25 | Ep 13: How Huntington’s Disease Led to an Unforgettable Sydney Marathon | Natasha Sneddon never imagined she’d be a runner... and was embarrassed to even walk her first parkrun. Yet somehow, one step at a time, she found herself racking up over 100 parkruns, training with a coach, and lining up for the Sydney Marathon in honour of her late grandfather. Along the way, running became more than exercise. It became connection, purpose, and a way to navigate the emotional weight of having Huntington’s disease in her family. As a sleep researcher and PhD student working ... | 43m 27s | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | Ep 12: A Spontaneous 200m Treadmill Run… That Changed Everything | Garry Jackson has lived two lives: one before running… and one after. At ~120kg, smoking up to 70 cigarettes a day and drinking hard, Garry never imagined he’d become a runner. But between his father’s terminal illness and the birth of his second child, life forced a reckoning. One day (whilst mixing tunes) he stepped onto a treadmill, ran 200 metres, and everything changed. What followed wasn’t just weight loss or fitness, it was a complete mindset shift. A new confidence. A new identity. A ... | 50m 08s | ||||||
| 12/2/25 | Ep 11: She Hated Anything Remotely Physical: Now She Runs Ultras | Crystal Barnes walked every school sports event. Struggled with asthma. Hated anything remotely physical. Yet somehow... became an ultra-runner. Crystal has one of the most unexpected running journeys you’ll hear. From joining a run club at 21, to smashing out a half marathon, full marathon, and then an ultra just weeks later, Crystal’s rise was fast, determined, and fuelled by a love of community as much as the sport itself. But the last few years have been tough. Hamstring tendinopathy, big... | 52m 06s | ||||||
| 11/25/25 | Ep 10: She Runs the Toughest Races… But Life Was the Real Challenge | Running isn’t always about pushing harder; sometimes, it’s about knowing when to pull back. For Melbourne-based runner Eva Bertram, running has always been about joy: no Strava, no data, no watch... just the feeling of getting out the door. From conquering Point to Pinnacle (the world’s "toughest half marathon"), to a New Year’s Eve “Run the Clock” adventure at the You Yangs complete with fireworks, a wine necklace, and a gashed knee, Eva’s stories capture exactly why everyday runners are ext... | 43m 13s | ||||||
| 11/18/25 | Ep 9: When Work, Alcohol and Anxiety Took Over… Running Was the Antidote | For carpenter and father of three Craig Parsons, running began in a rather unique way. Balancing long hours, physical work, and family life, Craig has faced anxiety, alcohol, and self-doubt head-on... proving that strength isn’t about muscle, it’s about mindset. In this raw and honest episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty talk with Craig about the challenges of opening up in a tough, masculine industry, the lessons learned through injury and recovery, and how running helped him find focu... | 45m 06s | ||||||
| 11/11/25 | Ep 8: Turning 40… She Threw On Old Reeboks and a Cotton Tee | Some running stories start with a race. Nicole’s started with a pair of worn Reeboks and a cotton T-shirt. The day before her 40th birthday, she went for her first jog; a spontaneous decision that changed everything. From San Rafael to New York, Nicole discovered how running could rebuild confidence, reshape body image, and connect her to a global community. In this funny, fearless, and deeply human episode, Joshie and Matty chat with Nicole about juggling hypoglycaemia, recovering from a str... | 55m 23s | ||||||
| 11/4/25 | Ep 7: Chronic Injuries and Open-Heart Surgery... Didn't Stop This Legend | Some runners live for data. Andy Reddiex isn’t one of them. The chicken-breeding, surfing, DIY-loving accountant has battled abdominal injuries, ankle problems, and even heart surgery; yet somehow keeps running with quiet determination and minimal fanfare. Not on Strava, not chasing medals, just running for the love of it. In this grounded and inspiring episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty sit down with Andy to talk about resilience, perspective, and how running fits around a full life.... | 55m 12s | ||||||
