    Living With A Heart Arrhythmia As An Endurance Athlete Part 3 - #125

    What happens when your heart doesn't play by the rules, but you keep running anyway? In this episode, I open up about living with a heart arrhythmia, and why I'm getting a minor procedure to have an implantable loop recorder inserted to finally get some answers. I talk about what it's like to train and race with an unanswered question sitting in your chest, and about the isolation that comes with it: looking fine on the outside, feeling uncertain on the inside, and not knowing who to talk to. If you've ever felt alone in a health battle nobody can see, this one's for you.

    I Blacked Out During My Sunday Long Run, My Heart Concerns As An Endurance Athlete - #122

    I blacked out during my long run on Sunday and woke up face down on the floor not knowing how I got there. Home and more questions than answers. The only thing I learned over the last 2 days in the hospital is how little is still known about heart issues in the endurance sport space. Unfortunately there is not a lot of data or evidence in endurance athletes and heart issues, treatment, how to stay active, etc. The only thing the medical team can do is rule out that you're not dying then leave you to figure out the rest on your own and tell you not to do what you love? That doesn't seem right and with my work on mental health right now I know that is not great for athletes mental health at all! Which as a health care worker myself I understand the system. But as an endurance athlete I'm like well what now, your telling me I can't do what I love, I can't run with my friends and chat, go out for coffee with my friends after a run, I can't sign up for a road race? I still don't know why all this is happening, if me blacking out is even related to my heart changes and what the plan is moving forwards. I know there are others in the endurance sport space that have had heart stuff come up, I've heard stories. I just didn't know though how alone they must have felt, with no answers, not a lot of other athletes to chat about this with and not all endurance athletes get this because I think we all think, well it will never happen to me. Until a few months ago I thought that. There is not a lot of guidance that can be given. I am working with one of SA's only sports cardiologists who did tell me himself 4 months ago that in the future we may need to look interstate as well for help. That's the plan now. My goal is to get some answers and find a solution. I know there is one out there I think sometimes we need to be accountable when it comes to our own health and instead of waiting to be told what to do, we need to find people who can help, and keep on looking, even if that means looking outside of Adelaide. If you know of any blogs, podcasts or articles covering heart concerns and endurance athletes please send them my way! It's time to get on top of this!

    Walking Through the Fire, Beau Williamson on Resilience, Coaching & Community in Hyrox - 119

    Beau Williamson is back on The Paths We Take his first appearance in almost two years. In that time he's gone from gym owner to full-time coach and athlete, and this conversation covers all of it: the mental shift from "exercise" to "training," what it actually takes to commit to a goal (and why hours-per-week is always the first question), and the toxic side of competitive fitness culture that nobody talks about enough. We get into the tendon tear Beau suffered mid-race at a Hyrox event last September, the pop, the numbness, the decision to keep racing anyway, and the twelve months of PRP injections, weekly physio, and training modifications that followed. Beau opens up about coaching athletes through their own injuries and setbacks, why he believes you can't actually "win" training, and the idea that's been on his mind lately: that evidence, not motivation, is what gets people to their next step. We also talk about imposter syndrome as a growth tool, the difference between coaching from the sideline versus coaching in the trenches, and why community not the medal is usually the real reason people keep showing up.

    5 Runners to 45 in 7 Months, Inside Adelaide's Fastest-Growing Run Group With Mat Mcquade - #118

    Seven months ago, Matt was running with five people around Unley Oval, dodging traffic. This week, the Belief Project pulls 45 runners on a winter Tuesday morning. Matt sits down for round two to unpack what actually happens behind a running community that grows that fast. We get into why he ditched individual sports for team culture, the exact difference between finding community and building it, and how a coffee shop next to the session became more important than the session itself. He also opens up on the Gold Coast Marathon build that didn't hit his sub-3 goal, why he trains through "I don't feel like it" with a rule he calls having no choice, and what changed when LSKD came calling wanting to sponsor BP (spoiler: he made them earn it first). If you're in Adelaide and you run, or you're trying to build something from nothing, this one's for you. BP runs Tuesday and Thursday, 6am, from Just Down the Road Cafe!
