Peak2Soon
Brent Ford discovered his love for running when he tipped the scales at 140.8 kilograms, often shuffling around his suburb of Canberra, working through the distances of five kilometres, to ten, before running a half marathon in 2019.
But, it was after testing his body during his first ultra at Stromlo that he truly fell in love with the sport, and it was through sharing his own journey to 100 kilometres that he realised there were many incredible stories to be told.
This is a podcast for those who are yet to find their limit, and are keen to hear how others are going about finding theirs. As a journalist with a curious nature, Peak2Soon tells the story of everyday people doing incredible things in the sport of trail and ultra running.

Chantelle Smith: The Humble Pocket Rocket
Chantelle Smith has had an incredible 18-months in running. A win at Brisbane Trail Ultra 2023, saw her follow with a second placing at the Tarawera Miler, and then a sixth female finish at Coast to Kosci at the end of last year.
A brief running journey, which has seen highs paired with lows, and lessons in patience.
Chantelle is another example of the running mums that are taking ultra running by storm.
In this chat she highlights how trying to fill the void saw her gain so much more, the challenges she's faced throughout her journey, how important open communication is with a husband/partner and the cramp that threatened her Coast to Kosci race.
