In our latest podcast episode, we introduce the inspiring story of Bronte Smith, a Northwest Tasmanian who has found a deep passion for running. Bronte’s journey began during her university years in Brisbane, where, away from the familiarity of her family and engaged in the fast-paced world of politics and business management, she discovered running as a stress reliever and a source of independence. Initially a netball player, Bronte’s transition to running showcases a beautiful blend of her athletic prowess and her search for a personal haven.
She recalls how her brother-in-law introduced her to Park Run, marking the start of her love affair with organized running events and eventually leading her to the challenging terrains of trail running. As Bronte prepares for the ‘Gone Nuts’ ultra trail race, she shares the nuances of balancing her training with work and life, offering listeners a glimpse into the life of a dedicated runner. Her insights into the importance of listening to her body, her preference for trail running over road running, and the mental and physical benefits she derives from this activity, add depth to her story.
This episode is much more than a narrative about running; it’s a tale of self-discovery, pushing personal boundaries, and finding joy in the midst of challenges. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or someone looking for motivation to start a new journey, Bronte’s experience is bound to resonate and inspire. Tune in to follow Bronte’s preparation for the ‘Gone Nuts’ ultra trail race and immerse yourself in a story of resilience, passion, and personal growth.
