In this episode, we sit down with Tim Moffatt, a runner who took a unique path into the world of endurance running. Tim’s story is inspiring, not just because of his achievements in running, but because of his journey growing up with two wheelchair-bound parents, which shaped his outlook on life and his approach to challenges.
Tim shares how, as a kid, he hated sports but always found joy in walking everywhere, often pushing himself to cover long distances on foot. This love for walking eventually morphed into a passion for running, spurred by the encouragement of friends. His first run was an impulsive 12km race, and from there, his running journey took off.
Tim talks about his experience in road marathons, and how he transitioned into trail running and ultra-endurance events. His story is filled with moments of resilience and determination, like completing the challenging UTA 100km race after never having run a trail race before! Tim’s journey will inspire listeners to find joy in the challenge and push their limits, whether they’re running their first 5k or tackling an ultra.
Running Tips from Tim:
1.Walk Before You Run: Tim’s early years of walking long distances helped build his endurance for running.
2.Start Small, Dream Big: You don’t have to start with a marathon—take your time and build up your distance.
3.Be Inspired by Challenges: Don’t shy away from tough runs; use them as a way to push your limits.
4.Find Your Own Pace: Running is personal, so listen to your body and find the pace that works for you.
5.Enjoy the Journey: Running is more than just racing—enjoy the adventure and the places it takes you.
6.Be Part of the Community: Running with others or joining a running group can give you extra motivation.

In this episode of the FitMIND FitBODY podcast, I chat with Jackson Millan, a successful entrepreneur who has recently taken on the world of running. Jackson’s journey into running is unique, as he never considered himself a runner growing up. In fact, he admits that running wasn’t something he ever enjoyed as a kid or young adult.
Despite a busy life filled with entrepreneurship and martial arts, Jackson decided to challenge himself by taking on one of the most difficult trail races in Australia: the Pyramid Race in Far North Queensland. With determination and discipline, Jackson went from being a self-proclaimed non-runner to completing ultra-endurance events, pushing both his physical and mental limits.
Jackson shares how running has taught him valuable lessons about mindset, perseverance, and pushing through discomfort. He emphasises the importance of setting big, scary goals and publicly committing to them to hold yourself accountable. His story is full of practical tips and inspiring moments that will motivate anyone to lace up their shoes and start their own running journey.
Running Tips from Jackson Millan:
1. Start Slow and Build Gradually: Don’t try to rush into long distances. Start with shorter runs and slowly build your endurance.
2. Follow a Structured Plan: Work with a coach or follow a clear plan to ensure you’re progressing in a safe and consistent way.
3. Zone 2 Training: Focus on running at an easy pace to build your cardiovascular endurance over time.
4. Publicly Commit to Your Goals: Share your running goals with others to keep yourself accountable and motivated.
5. Push Through Mental Barriers: Recognise that running is as much about mental strength as physical endurance.
6. Consistency is Key: Regularly show up for your runs, even if they’re short. It’s the consistency that leads to improvement.
7. Listen to Your Body: Know when to push and when to rest to avoid injury.
Tune in to hear Jackson’s incredible journey, his insights on running, and how he applies his entrepreneurial mindset to his running goals. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for some extra motivation, Jackson’s story is packed with valuable lessons.
