  • 70 - The RMA Podcast. Episode 70. Marathon dreams as a marathon mum. With Jessica Stenson

    This week on the RMA Podcast we are excited to welcome back 36 year old Marathon Mum, Jessica Stenson! Since we had Jess on the podcast right back in Episode 11, she has continued to wow us with her marathon running achievements, and she has been busy! Jessica has recently run her 16th marathon in Degu, South Korea securing herself a PB and another Qualifying time towards selection for the Women's Marathon in Paris 2024 Olympics. Not only did she qualify in the qualifying window, she did so only 7 months after having her second child Ellie!   In this episode we discuss what the marathon means to Jess, and the lessons that she has learnt as a marathon runner since her debut marathon. We discuss the daily habits that she has formed in training  and in mindset that have led to her success, and how we can use this approach in our own training.   We discuss the race day logistics she had to take when travelling and competing at a high level with a baby in tow, and how this actually made her feel calmer than ever before in a marathon event, and how this may have just led to her race day success! We also discuss how Jess trained and cross trained during her pregnancies and how that differed from her first pregnancy to her most recent, and how she built up her training safely and successfully after the birth of Ellie to compete for Degu, including her positive approach to the outcome and the support that she had in her corner to believe that her dream was possible.  We also talk about the selection process for the Paris marathon and how Jess feels about being one of the six Aussie women to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympic Marathon in the qualifying window, and her approach to navigating the outcome of the selection no matter what it might be.  If you love marathon running, or dream of running a marathon one day, Jess is such a great role model to learn from. She is a humble, giving athlete of her time and energy, especially to our RMA Community, and you will just love this episode! You can find out more about Jess at her website www.jessicatrengove.com.au or on Instagram at @jess_tren or on Facebook Jessica Trengove.

  • 67 - The RMA Podcast Episode 67. Motherhood & Mountains. Running postpartum, exploring the world through running & travelling with kids! With Kellie Angel (nee Emmerson)

    Kellie Angel (nee Emmerson), is one of Australia's best female trail and ultra runners. In this episode I get to ask all the burning questions that have been on my mind about training, returning to running postpartum and balance from this inspiring mum! Kellie has a long list of accolades to her name, but most recently this year she placed 41st F at the 2023 World Mountain & Trail Running Championships in Innsbruck-Stubai, Austria, was 2nd F at the 80K Lavaredo Ultra Trail in the Dolomites, Italy and culminated her European adventures with 17th F Place at UTMB CCC (100k) in Chamonix, France.  Kellie is an extremely experienced trail runner having gone from Amateur Runner to Elite Athlete over her running career which has spanned the last decade or so. From humble beginnings at a Melbourne charity race to running on the world stage, Kellie shares with us her captivating story, her determination, passion and her pursuit of excellence in the sport that she loves.  In this episode we discuss Kellie's early beginnings in the sport, her lead into successful racing and competing, the role of family in her journey and her most memorable races and achievements, including the thrill of representing her country on the world stage. We discuss how Kellie manages to balance her running career with her personal life, her vocation and family, and how balance is a contributing factor to her success in the sport, and she shares tips for us to strike a similar balance. We also dive into her return to running postpartum, and she shares some advice for mums returning back. Then we hear about her recent adventures in Europe training and racing whilst travelling and adventuring with her young family.  You can find out more about Kellie over on instagram at @Kelemmo or head to her business page www.enduranceedge.com.au to find out more about her coaching or buy T8 Run Gear.  Thanks to this weeks' sponsor, fisiocrem Australia.

  • 66 - The RMA Podcast. Episode 66.7 Marathons in 7 States in 7 Days with Jodie Cumner.

    While we are on the roll with podcasts about Marathons, we thought it would be great to interview RMA Community Ambassador Jodie Cumner about her recent experience at the Bravehearts 777 Marathon this year.  This podcast will have you asking if a marathon is something that you might like to try your hand at, but maybe it will keep you wondering what it would be like to run 7 in a row, day after day and amongst jumping on planes to travel to a different state each time!  In this episode we unpack Jodies journey with running and how it inspired her to live an authentic life, finding more about herself along the way, and growing as a person. We deep dive into how running helped her to overcome some hard times, and how this journey has evolved and changed and brought a community of people into her life to motivate her, and in turn for her to support and encourage them as both a coach and mentor to many. We discuss what it feels like to run 7 back to back marathons in different states, and the reasons behind why she signed up to the Bravehearts 777 Marathon Challenge, and how this experience helped her to learn things about herself, and to support a wonderful cause.  If you would like to participate in the Bravehearts 777 Marathon Challenge next year, head to https://bravehearts.org.au/support-us/777-marathon/ or to support Bravehearts head to www.bravehearts.org.au to find out more.  To follow Jodie and her many adventures on the trails and roads, or join in her communities you can follow her over on instagram at @informrunningjodie or @gc_trail_chix.
