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.

The Road To Coast To Kosci 2025: Liv Compton
Liv Compton is coming back for her third attempt at Coast to Kosci, with two really good finishes to her name already.
The Norwegian Born Queenslander is no stranger to the warm weather and looked at home in last year's sweltering conditions. Her running career has seen her run in some of the country's most interesting Backyard Ultras, including Phil Gore's win at Dead Cow Gully in 2022.
Earlier this year she ran a Norwegian Women's Backyard Ultra Record, with 40 loops at Sydney's Backyard Ultra, which will see Liv invited onto the Norwegian team for next year's Satellite World Championships.
She's also such a versatile runner, winning a number of recent marathons in the sunshine state, and pushing runners have her age each weekend at the Airlie Beach parkrun, Liv brings her humour to this chat, and I can't wait to see how she goes at this year's edition of the great race.
