Episode Description

Running injuries can break your body and spirit.

After back-to-back wins at the Guzzler 21K, trail runner and paediatric physio Ash O'Loughlin was flying. Then, a complex knee injury brought everything to a halt; forcing her to swap long runs for long rehab sessions and rethink her relationship with running.

In this raw, emotional and inspiring episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty sit down with Ash to talk about recovery, resilience, and rediscovering joy when you can’t do the thing you love most. From confronting moments on the trails to reclaiming her confidence and redefining her “why,” Ash’s story reminds us that the toughest races aren’t always between the start and finish line.

In this episode:

• How Ash went from teenage runner to two-time Guzzler 21K champion
• The complex injury that changed everything
• Reclaiming trail safety and confidence after a confronting experience
• Finding new ways to stay sane when sidelined
• Why stepping back sometimes moves you forward
