About Runbelievable: Real Runners, Unreal Stories

WHY WE RUN | WHO WE BECOME Runbelievable is the running podcast about runners, running stories and the communities we find along the way. Hosted by Josh Rischin, each week a runner shares the story behind their running... from first-timers and everyday runners to elite athletes, marathoners, ultrarunners, record-breakers and people taking on wonderfully ridiculous running challenges. Because behind every result, every finish line and every reason for lacing up, there's a bigger story. Runbelievable explores why we run... the confidence we find, the people we meet, the adversity we navigate, the identities we build and rebuild, and the things running teaches us about ourselves. Whether you're preparing for your first parkrun, an ultramarathon or your 100th marathon, there's a decent chance you'll hear something in these conversations and think: Ahhh yup... that's why I run too! 🌏 Episodes, community, and all things Runbelievable: http://runbelievable.au (http://runbelievable.au) 🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday; hit follow so you don't miss a lap!

   EP 56 | How Can We Stop Girls Walking Away From Sport?

   What if one of the best ways to help girls keep running is to tell them it's okay not to run? As a teenager, Amy Kline gradually stopped feeling like sport was somewhere she belonged. It wasn't until she discovered recreational running as an adult that she realised movement didn't need to be about winning, competing or proving you were good enough. Years later, an experience at the New York Marathon planted the seed for Girls Run Club... an inclusive, low-pressure running community designed t...

   EP 55 | What Happens When You Run Until Your Body Shuts Down?

   Phil Gore has spent years redefining what's possible in backyard ultra (BYU) running. But Project 168 was different. His goal was to run for seven consecutive days, pushing beyond anything he'd attempted before. So what happens when your mind is willing to keep running, but your body has finally had enough?
