Bryce created an event to help celebrate his 60th year, a 60 kilometer run through his favourite runs, trails and walks across Brisbane. He invited friends from all the communities he is a part of and got his family involved in organising it and being the support crew. It went really well and this podcast is a debrief from Bryce and others who took part about the day.

Dr Cora Lau is a seriously impressive human being. Super smart, super fit and lovely to chat with. Her insight into the way we get to know our bodies and consequently manage pain is part of what makes her a great ultra marathon runner. Her work as a scientist and her history with the leadership of the BTU ultra marathon event in Brisbane makes her a very interesting person to chat with.
