In 2012, Georgia Weir was battling poor mental health, addiction, and an incorrect bipolar diagnosis.

A local 5km event became a last resort.

What followed was a journey that took her from running her first marathon in New York, to founding Deadly Runners; a movement that has helped hundreds of First Nations Australians discover what's possible through running.

But the road wasn't smooth.

After a dispute over ownership, Georgia lost everything, battled addiction, rebuilt her life, and emerged with an even greater sense of purpose.

About Runbelievable

Runbelievable is the Australian running podcast for every runner. From your first parkrun to your 100th marathon, from walk-run intervals to dabbling in trail running, every runner has a story worth telling. Through honest conversations with runners from all walks of life, Runbelievable explores the challenges, achievements, setbacks, and experiences that connect us through running and shape who we become.

Fresh off the Brisbane Marathon, a familiar Runbelievable voice returns for a special Recap episode.

When Carly Barkle first joined us in Ep. 18, she spoke openly about chasing redemption at the Brisbane Marathon. Twelve months after her first DNF, and her 6th bout of bowel surgery… the training is done, the race has been run, and now it's time to find out what really happened.

No polished summary. No social media highlight reel. Just an honest reflection whilst the emotions are still fresh.

We talk about:

• Whether she found the redemption she was looking for
• The race-day twist we had no idea about!
• The moments that tested her most
• What surprised her along the way
• How she feels about the experience now that it's over

Runbelievable Recap episodes capture the part of running that often gets missed… the raw reflection after the finish line, before time reshapes the story.

Because every runner has a story… and sometimes the most interesting chapter comes after the race.

Belle Ferguson never really thought about running.

In fact, she started running for a surprisingly practical reason... walking took too long.

What began as a time-saving measure soon turned into something much bigger.

Today, Belle is a marathoner, Trek2Health trek leader, and passionate advocate for runners of all abilities. She's also challenging one of running's biggest misconceptions... that taking walk breaks somehow makes you less of a runner.

In this episode:

• Starting running purely to save time
• How Trek to Health changed her life
• The run-walk (Jeffing) method explained
• Why back-of-the-pack runners deserve more respect
• Running marathons without chasing elite times
• Finding confidence, community, and belonging through running
