With the 2025 Coast to Kosci ultramarathon just around the corner, I’m re-releasing one of my most meaningful conversations — recorded shortly after I won the 2022 Coast to Kosci 240km ultramarathon.
In this interview with the amazing Bex Vandenburg, I share what was really going through my mind during the race — the mental tools, emotional shifts, and lessons that helped me push through fatigue, doubt, and pain to reach the finish line first.
Whether you’re lining up for this year’s race, crewing a runner, or simply fascinated by what it takes to perform at your best in extreme conditions, this episode will give you:


Practical mindset strategies for the toughest parts of the course


Insights into managing fatigue and staying composed under pressure


The importance of self-talk, presence, and purpose in long ultras


How to reconnect with your “why” when things get hard


I’m re-sharing this now to help this year’s runners and crews prepare mentally for the journey ahead — and to remind everyone that Coast to Kosci isn’t just a race… it’s a test of character, heart, and belief.
Tune in before race week, take what resonates, and may it serve you out there on the road from the coast to the summit of Kosciuszko.
