This week’s mindful moment brings you back to centre - shift your weight side to side. Stand barefoot if you can, feet hip-width apart, and gently sway from left to right. Feel the subtle adjustments in your body as you transfer your weight - how your feet respond, how your core engages, and what muscles quietly support you.

There’s no need for rhythm or pace—just let your body explore the feeling of balance in motion. This simple movement grounds you, calms scattered energy, and reconnects you with the physical sensation of being here.

It’s a quiet, centring practice you can return to anytime you need to feel steady again.

Spend just five minutes with this practice, and see how it can bring calm and clarity to your day.

In this second check-in with Delirious WEST 2026 athlete Craig Jeffrey, we dive straight into one of Australia’s toughest mountain races — the Kosciuszko 100 miler — and unpack what it really takes to keep moving forward when conditions (and your body) aren’t playing nice

Craig shares a raw, honest race debrief covering brutal alpine winds, unexpected snow crossings, stomach battles, sore knees, smashed toenails… and still finding moments of flow late in the race.

This is a conversation about experience, self-trust, and learning to race yourself — not the clock, not the field.

Get ready for:

•🌬️ Running in 100km/h winds on exposed alpine walkways

•❄️ Snow fields, sleet, and freezing rain at 2am

•🧂 A classic ultra mistake (hello salt tab 🤢) — and the lesson it delivered

•💪 Why Craig felt strongest in the last 40km

•🦶 “Runner’s toe” (yes, it’s a thing) and why toenails are overrated

•🧠 Racing at 3/10 effort — and trusting that it’s enough

•❤️ Why movement, sunlight, and being told “well done” actually matter more than we think

Craig finished Kosci in 26 hours 46 minutes in seriously tough conditions — and somehow still sounds calm, curious, and grateful.

A brilliant reminder that ultra running isn’t about forcing… it’s about patience, perspective, and putting one foot in front of the other.

🎧 Perfect listening if you love long trails, big thinking, and athletes who race with their heads and their hearts.

In this episode we catch up with Ben Pyman to see how training, mindset, and life are shaping up as he builds towards the 100-mile start line.

Ben shares how Movember became a powerful reset month — shaving off a decade-long beard, running 200+ kilometres, and using the challenge to open honest conversations around mental health and wellbeing. What started as fundraising quickly turned into something much deeper.

We also dig into the nuts and bolts of Ben’s training:

•What consistency really looks like for him

•How structure (without perfection) has changed his running

•Using ChatGPT to build an 18-week training framework

•Why breaking big plans into small chunks matters

•His goals for Delirious WEST (and why finishing in daylight is a BIG motivator)

Plus, we get delightfully nerdy about:

•Shoes (road vs trail, Tarkines, beach sections)

•Blisters, gaiters, and keeping sand out of shoes

•Gear overthinking vs simple problem-solving

•Why the last finisher deserves just as much respect as the first

This is a relaxed, honest, very real conversation about doing the work, staying flexible, and remembering why we run in the first place.

🧭 You’ll hear Ben talk about:

•Running ~213km in November and what that unlocked

•His current weekly structure (easy runs, long runs, parkrun, trails)

•A-goal of ~36 hours for the 100 miler

•Balancing planning with adaptability

•Training through summer heat and the silly season

•Why joy, curiosity, and adventure still matter

Whether you’re training for an ultra or just trying to stay consistent through a busy life — this one will land 💛
