#49 - The Illusion of More, The Arrival Fallacy & The Tiger 5
<p>Have you ever felt like your ideal life is always just out of reach? Like the goalposts are constantly moving?</p><p>This week on Human Being School, we unpack "The Illusion of More"—the trap of believing that pushing harder, buying better gear, or hitting the next milestone is the only way to feel complete.</p><p>We kick things off on the track, contrasting Forest’s recent 5km at the Tiger 5 with my own Achilles blow-up. Chasing the "fast track" of a synthetic athletics surface over the slow adaptation of grass taught me a hard lesson: when your ego refuses to take an off-season, your body will manufacture one for you. Forest brings his coaching lens to the table, breaking down the "Strava Trap" and how athletes treat their Garmin data like high school ATAR scores to validate their worth.</p><p>But this isn't just a running problem. From the education system demanding constant "growth," to the modern dating market, to the Victorian teacher pay dispute, the Illusion of More is the core operating system of modern life. We discuss Steve Magness's Arrival Fallacy, the Hedonic Treadmill, and why the highest form of resilience isn't pushing through the pain. It’s having the psychological strength to sit perfectly still in the "10-Minute Void" and realize you are already enough.</p><p><strong>Regular Segments:</strong></p><ul><li><p>📚 <strong>The Books: </strong>The Creative Act: A Way of Being - Rick Rubin and Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill</p></li><li><p>🎧 <strong>The Podcast:</strong> Turning them off. The luxury of silence and escaping the "Optimization Spectacle."</p></li><li><p>💬 <strong>The Quote:</strong> "You get used to how great your life is." — Jimmy Carr</p></li></ul>

#48 - Scheduling in the Joy, Carman's 10k and The Art of Patience
<p><strong>"We spend so much time scheduling our work and our commitments, and not enough on the good stuff."</strong></p><p>We’re back for 2026. To kick off the year, Forest Robinson and I headed down to Elsternwick for the <strong>Carman’s 10k</strong>. It wasn't about the PB or the pace—it was about pinning on a bib, feeling the local energy, and practicing the two themes that are grounding us this year: <strong>Patience and Acceptance.</strong></p><p>In this episode, we dive into the "Calendar of Life." Why do we treat our professional meetings as non-negotiable but leave our joy to chance? We explore how to reclaim your schedule for the things that actually nourish your nervous system, and why "doing less" with more intention is the ultimate performance hack for the long game.</p><p><strong>In this conversation, we explore:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The Carman’s 10k Recap:</strong> The "cold start" feeling of the first race of the year.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Architecture of Joy:</strong> Why we struggle to schedule the "good stuff" and how to stop treating hobbies as "if I have time" tasks.</p></li><li><p><strong>Patience vs. Waiting:</strong> Learning to sit with the slow build of a new season without the rush for instant results.</p></li><li><p><strong>Radical Acceptance:</strong> How letting go of "should be" allows you to actually be present in the mile you’re in.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Nervous System Audit:</strong> How protecting your joy prevents the burnout we often see by mid-year.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Connect with Human Being School:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Instagram:</strong> @humanbeingschool</p></li></ul><p>If this episode resonated with you, please consider leaving a review or sharing it with someone who needs a reminder to put some joy on their calendar this week.</p><p><br></p>

#47 - Looking Back to Move Forward - 2025 in Review
<p>In this final episode of the year, Nick is joined by Forest Robinson for a reflective look back on 2025 — the lessons, the miles, the moments that mattered, and the ones they’d rather forget.</p><p>This conversation isn’t about highlighting perfect performances. It’s about honesty, perspective, and what a year of running, training, and life actually teaches you when you slow down enough to reflect.</p><p>Together, they unpack:</p><ul><li><p>The biggest lessons 2025 had to offer</p></li><li><p>The top runs of the year — and the ones that hurt the most</p></li><li><p>Performances they’re proud of, and ones they learned from</p></li><li><p>The best running shoe, gel, and accessory of the year</p></li><li><p>New discoveries that changed the way they train or think</p></li><li><p>Favourite book, podcast episode, and quote of the year</p></li><li><p>How their relationship with running evolved over the past 12 months</p></li></ul><p>They also reflect on why the toughest days often leave the deepest lessons, and why taking time to look back matters just as much as setting new goals.</p><p>This episode is part reflection, part recap, and part reminder that progress isn’t always measured in PBs — sometimes it’s measured in perspective.</p>
