| 10/26/25 | ![]() Finding Peace On The Run: Presence over performance | in this episode, I reflect on what running has really become for me. Those early mornings when the air’s cool and clean, when my breath is shallow and my ankles are stiff but then, somewhere in that quiet, the rhythm finds me.Running isn’t my escape. It’s how I return to myself. Out there, the ego fades, the noise drops away, and it’s just me, the dirt, and the wind moving through the trees like breath. I’ve learned that effort isn’t the enemy, and discomfort isn’t punishment, it’s just a sensation.The lessons are subtle, whispered through stillness, not shouted through chaos. And in that flow state, where time stretches and everything softens, I’m reminded that I don’t have to be anything more than what I already am. So I keep running. Not to prove anything, not to win, but because out there on the trail, under an open sky, everything makes sense. Even if only for a moment.We’ve teamed up with Spring Energy Australia to fuel your training and racing.Use code RUNNINGDEEPENERGY at checkout for orders over $60 and get 4 FREE gels added to your order.👉 Shop here: Spring Energy AustraliaIf you’re enjoying Running Deep, the best way to support me is by supporting the sponsors who make this possible.

| 10/19/25 | ![]() Shane Kent: From Ironman to Arch to Arc and Why the Process Matters Most | I’ve known Shane for years, and over that time we’ve become good friends, sharing one too many Instagram reels and always keeping it real with each other. No bullshit, just us.In this episode, Shane joins me to talk about his incredible journey through endurance sport. He’s a normal guy living a normal life, but with an extraordinary passion for pushing his limits. With over 15 Ironman triathlons under his belt, he’s also taken on Ultraman Australia and the legendary Arch to Arc, a 140km run, a swim across the English Channel, and a 289km ride to finish.Shane’s not chasing some deep, spiritual revelation, he’s chasing the edge of his own potential, finding joy in the process, the grind, and even the suffering, if you want to call it that.This one’s a reminder to do things because you love them, because they make you feel alive — not because the world is watching.We’ve teamed up with Spring Energy Australia to fuel your training and racing.Use code RUNNINGDEEPENERGY at checkout for orders over $60 and get 4 FREE gels added to your order.👉 Shop here: Spring Energy AustraliaIf you’re enjoying Running Deep, the best way to support me is by supporting the sponsors who make this possible.

| 10/13/25 | ![]() The Sound of Safe Kids: The Power of Presence in Parenting | In this episode I dive into the complexities of parenting, especially those moments when our kids’ behavior makes us question how well we’re really doing. I talk about how things like loudness, pickiness, and being outspoken are actually signs that our children feel safe and supported. I encourage parents to see these traits as proof that they’ve created an environment where their kids feel seen, heard, and confident. More than anything, I remind myself, and other parents, that showing up and being present matters far more than chasing perfection.We’ve teamed up with Spring Energy Australia to fuel your training and racing.Use code RUNNINGDEEPENERGY at checkout for orders over $60 and get 4 FREE gels added to your order.👉 Shop here: Spring Energy AustraliaIf you’re enjoying Running Deep, the best way to support me is by supporting the sponsors who make this possible.

| 9/28/25 | ![]() Getting Sober: The Grass is Green Where You Water It | In this episode, I open up about my personal journey with sobriety and the lessons I’ve learned over the past two years. I share the raw and honest challenges of life without alcohol, from navigating emotional struggles to rediscovering who I really am beneath the noise. For me, sobriety isn’t just about quitting drinking, it’s about choosing to feel, to face life as it is, and to take ownership of my path forward. Along the way, I’ve come to realise that real transformation happens slowly, in the small, consistent shifts, and that clarity comes not in one big moment but through the everyday practice of showing up as my truest self.We’ve teamed up with Spring Energy Australia to fuel your training and racing.Use code RUNNINGDEEPENERGY at checkout for orders over $60 and get 4 FREE gels added to your order.👉 Shop here: Spring Energy AustraliaIf you’re enjoying Running Deep, the best way to support me is by supporting the sponsors who make this possible.

| 9/13/25 | ![]() Do we need to suffer?: Redefining Mental Toughness in Endurance and Life | In this episode, I dive into the often-misunderstood idea of mental toughness through the lens of endurance sport and life itself. Inspired by what I call the “Goggins effect,” I question the belief that constant suffering is the only pathway to growth or self-worth. Instead, I explore the deeper intention behind why we push ourselves, and how true resilience isn’t just about enduring pain, it’s about cultivating balance, honesty, and the courage to slow down.Drawing from my own ultra-endurance experiences, I share what it really means to chase big goals while still holding space for self-care, reflection, and appreciation of life’s simplest moments. Because sometimes the strongest thing we can do is not push harder... but pause, breathe, and choose with intention.We’ve teamed up with Spring Energy Australia to fuel your training and racing.Use code RUNNINGDEEPENERGY at checkout for orders over $60 and get 4 FREE gels added to your order.👉 Shop here: Spring Energy Australia⭐ Help the podcast grow:Rate & review the show on Spotify or Apple PodcastsHit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episodeShare it with a mate who needs a bit of inspiration on their runYour support means the world and helps keep these raw, real conversations going. 🙏 Hosted on Acast.

The conversation emphasized the importance of being known for your character rather than just your accomplishments.Navigating social media, avoiding constant comparisons, and finding balance in life, especially with family, were key topics. He is also encouraging everyone to be kind to themselves, love who they are, and remember that they are enough just as they are.Want to connect with Kieron?InstagramTakeaways: Running can be a tool for self-discovery and personal growth. Resilience and perseverance are important qualities in overcoming challenges. Childhood experiences can shape one's mindset and approach to life. Identity can evolve and change over time, and it's important to define oneself beyond a specific title or achievement.

| 6/17/24 | ![]() Jason Shields: Why we need to train smart & the key to success in triathlon is finding joy in the training process | Donate to the podcast here https://buymeacoffee.com/therunningdeeppodcastIn this conversation, Jason shares his journey from being a party boy and former AFL player to becoming a successful triathlete and coach. He emphasizes the importance of consistency and building a strong endurance base. Jason also discusses the misconception that hard work alone leads to success in triathlon and highlights the significance of smart training and injury prevention. He shares his own experience of training smart and achieving impressive results with limited training hours. Jason challenges the mindset of 'no pain, no gain' and encourages athletes to prioritize rest and recovery. The conversation revolves around the themes of training philosophy, longevity in the sport, and finding joy in the process. They emphasize the need to slow down, listen to your body, and prioritize long-term fitness and well-being. The conversation also touches on the pressure of social media and the misconception that strength is solely determined by results Jason discusses the post-race blues and the challenges of finding purpose after achieving goals. He shares his personal experiences of feeling lost and struggling with his sense of identity after leaving his job and retiring from professional racing. He concludes by expressing his desire to find peace and enjoy the journey rather than focusing solely on results.Key takeaways: Consistency and building a strong endurance base are key to success in triathlon. Smart training and injury prevention should be prioritized over excessive training volume. Hard work alone does not guarantee success in triathlon; it's important to train smart and listen to your body. Rest and recovery are crucial for optimal performance and injury prevention. Focus on building a base, consistency, and enjoying the training process rather than solely chasing performance and PBs. Slowing down and listening to your body is crucial for long-term success and avoiding burnout. The pressure of social media can lead to unrealistic expectations and a focus on external validation. Strength is not solely determined by results; vulnerability and the ability to embrace the journey are also signs of strength. Finding joy and fulfillment in the sport and prioritizing long-term health and well-being are key to longevity in triathlon. The week after a race can be a challenging time emotionally, as the adrenaline wears off and the reality of the next goal sets in. Leaving a job or retiring from racing can lead to a loss of purpose and a sense of identity crisis. It's important to be humble and not compare your achievements to others, as everyone's journey is unique. Listen to your body and don't push yourself when you're not ready. It's okay to take a break and rest. Finding peace and enjoying the journey is more important than focusing solely on results.Want to connect with Jason?Instagramhttps://www.thriveendurance.com/our-triathlon-coachesWe greatly appreciate your support for the podcast:- Take just 2 minutes out of your day to rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts.- Support us by subscribing and reviewing on iTunes or Spotify.- Spread the word by sharing and tagging us online!

| 3/18/24 | ![]() Kent Mullins: Embracing change and my Ironman Journey thus far. | [Donate Here](https://www.patreon.com/TheRunningDeepPodcast)Today I don't have a quest, only me myself and I. Now despite setbacks like battling glandular fever and taking two months off from my Ironman training, I am refusing to succumb to a victim mindset. Instead, I want to emphasise the importance of resilience and having a proactive response when plans go awry. I want to highlight the value of adapting to new challenges without dwelling on past setbacks. I also want to advocate for a proactive approach, urging you all to rise from adversity and embrace the journey ahead. I hope my story serves as a testament to the power of determination and resilience in pursuing our goals, no matter the obstacles or challenges ahead.We greatly appreciate your support for the podcast:- Take just 2 minutes out of your day to rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts.- Support us by subscribing and reviewing on iTunes or Spotify.- Spread the word by sharing and tagging us online!
