The Rise of Holly Ranson: The Fire Within
Follow Holly at Western States this weekend 27-28 June 2026! Follow Holly on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hollyrranson/ What does it take to become one of the best ultrarunners in the world? Talent? Genetics? Mental toughness? After spending months speaking with the people closest to Holly Ranson, I discovered a very different answer. In this special documentary episode, you'll hear from the people who have witnessed Holly's journey from the front row: • Nic – fiancé, training partner and crew chief• Mel – lifelong friend• Phil Gore – Backyard Ultra World Champion• Brent Ford – ultrarunner, commentator and podcast host• Shaun Kaesler – race director and ultrarunner Together, they reveal the person behind the performances. The woman who quietly went from working multiple jobs and battling injury after injury to becoming one of Australia's most accomplished ultrarunners, breaking Australian records and producing one of the greatest performances ever by an Australian woman at the 24-Hour World Championships in France. But this isn't really a story about running. It's a story about humility. Persistence. Sacrifice. Friendship. Character. And the relentless pursuit of what might be possible. As this episode is released, Holly is preparing to take on one of the most iconic races in the world – the Western States Endurance Run 100 miler in California. After hearing the stories in this documentary, you'll understand why so many people believe her best is still ahead of her. Whether you're a runner or not, I think you'll find something of yourself in Holly's story. Because at its heart, this documentary asks a question that applies to all of us: What if the best chapter of your story hasn't happened yet? Special thanks to Holly Ranson, Nic French, Mel Clark, Phil Gore, Brent Ford and Shaun Kaesler for generously sharing their stories and helping bring this documentary to life. Enjoy!

Inside the Runner’s Brain: Why It Sabotages You (and How to Stop It)
Have you ever wondered why your mind seems to turn against you right when you need it most — in the middle of a tough race, a big workout, or standing on the start line? In this episode, Rob breaks down the three parts of your brain — the Human, the Chimp, and the Computer — and shows you how understanding this simple model can completely change the way you think, feel, and perform as a runner. Drawing on Professor Steve Peters’ The Chimp Paradox and A Path Through the Jungle, plus The Brave Athlete by Lesley Paterson and Simon Marshall, you’ll learn how your “chimp brain” can hijack your thoughts, create chaos, and trigger self-sabotage — and how to calm it down when it does. This episode is all about practical mental skills you can use right away: tools to manage nerves, deal with negative self-talk, handle pressure, and find clarity when your emotions take over. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: The three parts of the brain — and which one is running your race How your chimp hijacks you before, during, and after a run What it means to “give the chimp a banana” (and how to do it effectively) Simple tools to get back into your Human brain when things feel out of control Practical strategies from The Brave Athlete to train your chimp and build calm confidence How to use the question “What’s the plan?” to stay focused and regain control Real examples of how elite runners manage their inner chaos Key Takeaway: You don’t need to silence your emotions — you just need to understand who’s driving your thoughts. Once you know how to recognise your chimp, manage it, and step back into your Human brain, running (and life) gets a whole lot simpler.
