    SUPPORT ANGE'S 777 CHALLENGE HERE: https://asf.org.au/campaigns/parkrun/bravehearts-marathon-777--powered-by-parkrun In this week’s episode, Ange and Pete talk about the myth of balance. As mums, both struggle to feel like they are doing everything they need to do for their families while at the same time trying to fit in time for themselves. It’s a real issue that doesn’t really have an answer. But hopefully it helps to know you’re not alone!

    070 - How Journaling Helps Your Business

    In our first episode of 2026, we share how our summers went, and how much (or little) running factored into them. We then delve into Ange’s experiment in journaling. We discuss the Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll, which incidentally, was the first book in Ange’s new book club - the Small Biz Book Club. If you’re interested in joining us, go to https://angemcdonald.com/bookclub  In summary, journaling solves all your problems and you should start carrying a pocket notebook straight away. Plus you might hear a little peep from Percy and Otis who were co-producing this episode.  Follow Ange on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok @startupandrunning_au, or email at ange@startupandrunning.com.au   Follow Peta on Instagram @petanutrunner  Spoil yourself or the runner in your life with running accessories from our favourite Aussie running companies (affiliate links): TARKINE - https://www.tarkine.com/ANGELA16836 - use code ANGELA16836 to get 20% off your order RECC Active - https://reccactive.com.au?sca_ref=6940308.wKkVRKj9Do2 - use code STARTUP15 to get 15% off your order RUNLY - https://runly.com.au/startupandrunning - use code STARTUPANDRUNNING to get 25% off your order VERT NUTRITION - https://vertnutrition.com.au - use code STARTUP to get 15% off your order ON PEAK HATS - https://onpeakhats.com.au - use code STARTUP15 to get 15% off your order RELE FOOTWEAR - https://relefootwear.com.au - use code STARTUP15 for 15% off your order RE GLASSES -https://reyourrun.com.au?bg_ref=yD1l6ayuTe - use code STARTUP10 for 10% off your order

    069 - 2025 Highs and Lows

    It has been a wild year at the Start Up and Running Podcast. We started the year thinking we would be running the Gold Coast Marathon together. Then Peta fell pregnant with twins and so Ange ran twin marathons solo - Gold Coast and Sydney. We had highs and lows including trying to juggle work, new babies and getting the podcast out each week - many weeks we failed on the podcast front. But we are optimistic and motivated for 2026, and we have some big plans including Peta’s return to running for the Sydney Marathon! We hope you had an epic 2025 and we can’t wait to see what 2026 brings for us all!
