  • Episode 635 - MM - 223 - Wake up your ankles

    Episode 635 - MM - 223 - Wake up your ankles
    May 20 2026

    This week’s mindful moment brings your attention right down to the foundation of your movement: wake up your ankles. Before you head out for a run, a walk, or even just start your day, take a minute to gently circle each ankle. Move slowly, without forcing anything—just explore the range. Notice what feels smooth, what feels tight, and how each direction differs. Then switch sides.

    Your ankles quietly do a huge amount of work every single day, especially when you’re running, and this simple check-in is a way to reconnect and support them. When you start paying attention to these small, often overlooked areas, your whole body can begin to move with more ease.

    This small habit can become a quiet anchor in your day — a moment to pause, breathe, and return to the present without needing to stop everything you’re doing.

    Little moments like this add up. And often they’re the beginning of something bigger.

  • Episode 634 - MFYU Mini Series - Margie Hadley’s Melbourne Frontyard Ultra Journey - 48 Yards, Grass Angels and One More Time

    Episode 634 - MFYU Mini Series - Margie Hadley’s Melbourne Frontyard Ultra Journey - 48 Yards, Grass Angels and One More Time
    May 19 2026
    Welcome to the first episode in our brand-new 2026 Melbourne Frontyard Ultra Mini-Series on the ZenRUN Podcast. This series is a little different from our usual runner interviews. I was over at Melbourne Frontyard Ultra as one of the race directors, and while I was there, I followed a handful of athletes through their event - quick check-ins before the race, during the yards, in the tired middle-of-the-night moments, and then again after their race was done. And first up, we’re following the amazing Margie Hadley. Margie came into Melbourne Frontyard Ultra with a huge amount of experience in the backyard ultra format. She’s part of the incredible Perth ultra-running community, had a personal best already sitting deep in the 40-hour range, and arrived with big goals, a brilliant crew, and a very calm, steady energy. But as you’ll hear in this episode, even the most experienced runners still have to face the same question every hour: Can I get back to the start line one more time? This episode captures Margie’s journey from the early relaxed yards, through rain, niggles, crew chaos, toe-taping, attempts at tiny naps, second-night fatigue, and the constant sound of Daft Punk’s “One More Time” reminding everyone that yes - another yard was coming. Margie went on to hit a new PB of 48 yards, become the last woman standing, and still had the courage to start yard 49 - even when she knew she had given almost everything to get back from yard 48. There are funny moments, tired moments, practical crew realities - including some very honest portaloo chat - and one of my favourite moments of the whole episode: Margie lying on the grass doing “grass angels” during yard 49 before deciding whether she could keep moving. In our wrap-up chat, Margie reflects on what worked, what didn’t, the power of crew, why sleep became such a challenge, how her nutrition was a huge win, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply start - even when you’re not sure what will happen next. Why You’ll Love This Episode You’ll get a real inside look at what a Frontyard Ultra actually feels likeYou’ll hear the difference between results on paper and the real story behind themMargie shares what it’s like to chase big goals in the backyard ultra formatWe talk crew, sleep, nutrition, mental toughness, and tiny decisionsThere are raw check-ins from during the event, not just polished reflections afterwardYou’ll hear why this format is brutal, fascinating, funny, and strangely beautifulAnd yes… you’ll never hear “One More Time” the same way again A Few Favourite Themes One yard at a time The format is simple: 6.7km every hour until only one person is left. But simple does not mean easy. Crew matters Margie’s crew played a massive role - from food and foot care to tough love and getting her back out there when she didn’t want to go. Sleep changes everything Margie’s nutrition went brilliantly, but sleep became the one-percenter she now wants to work on. You don’t always know what’s possible Margie talked beautifully about how quickly things can shift in endurance events - one moment you’re done, the next moment something changes. Just start One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is the power of starting the next yard, even if you’re not sure you’ll finish it. Listen In For Margie’s running background and how she grew into running as an adultWhy she keeps coming back to backyard ultrasHer previous PB of 47 hours and her goal to push beyond 50Early race check-ins and the very wobbly bridgeJoel’s crew update after very little sleepRain, slippery course conditions, and a few leg nigglesCrew realities, including the great portaloo discussionToe-taping with 11 minutes to goA tiny nap attempt in the middle of the nightThe 1am music chatMargie’s 48-yard PBYard 49, grass angels, and the moment she knew she was doneHer reflections on nutrition, sleep, crew, and what comes next Interested in the 2027 Melbourne Frontyard Ultra?

  • Episode 633 - From Mexico to Delirious: JP’s 200-Mile Adventure & Love of Life

    Episode 633 - From Mexico to Delirious: JP’s 200-Mile Adventure & Love of Life
    May 18 2026

    In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I sit down with the incredibly warm, thoughtful and inspiring Juan Pablo Rodriguez - better known as JP - to chat about his journey from Mexico to Australia, his experience at Delirious WEST, and the deeper meaning he’s finding through running, movement and adventure.

    What started as a race recap quickly turned into one of those beautiful conversations that goes far beyond running.

    JP shares what it felt like taking on the Delirious 200 Miler, the emotional highs and lows of the event, and why the experience left such a huge mark on him. We also dive into life, gratitude, travel, community, pushing yourself into the unknown, and the simple gift of being able to move your body.

    There’s something really special about JP’s outlook on life. He has this beautiful way of reminding us not to take movement, health or adventure for granted.

    At one point he says:

    “Go take advantage of your blessing.” ❤️

    And honestly… that pretty much sums up this entire episode.

    We also chat about:

    • What drew JP from Mexico to Australia
    • His Delirious WEST experience and lessons from the trail
    • Why the Delirious community is so special
    • The emotional side of ultra running
    • Gratitude, perspective and staying present
    • Why movement is something to celebrate
    • The explosion of running and outdoor adventure post-COVID
    • What might be next for JP (including possibly returning to Delirious 👀)

    Why You’ll Love This Episode

    • JP’s positive outlook on life is genuinely infectious
    • A beautiful reminder to appreciate what our bodies can do
    • Honest reflections from a Delirious 100-mile athlete
    • A mix of deep conversation, laughs and trail stories
    • A lovely episode for anyone needing motivation to get moving again

    Tips from JP

    • Don’t take movement for granted
    • Adventure is worth the discomfort
    • Community makes hard things possible
    • Sometimes the biggest growth comes from doing something that scares you
    • Be grateful for the simple ability to move your body

    This episode feels less like an interview… and more like sitting around after a huge adventure chatting about life.

    I absolutely loved this conversation and I think you will too 😊
