He did it. Four marathons in one day. But the real story? It wasn’t about fitness.

On this week’s episode of Baskets of Knowledge, we welcome back Scott Casey-Woolridge, one month and one day after his huge challenge: a marathon ski, row, bike and run… all in a single day.

We spoke to him before the event. He was excited, focused, and ready.

Now, on the other side of it?

We talk about the raw truth, the comedown, the emotion, and the deeper impact this challenge had on him.

Yes, he pushed through pain, physical pain, mental fatigue, even slipping mid-run in the pouring rain.

But the part that stuck with us the most?

That quiet moment. Hugging his dad at the finish line. The journey that wasn’t just 42km x 4 but years of personal growth, healing, and owning his identity.

This wasn’t just about finishing a challenge.

It was about choosing to show up.

For himself. For others. For the version of him he wanted to become.

He raised over $7,300 for mental health support. But what he really raised was a conversation — one about purpose, community, and resilience.

This conversation is full of insight, honesty, and emotion.
If you’ve ever felt like giving up… if you’ve ever had that voice in your head say “just stop”… this is for you.

Here are a few takeaways that stuck with us:

• A problem shared is a problem halved, community matters more than we think.
  
• We are capable of so much more than the stories we tell ourselves.
  
• Don’t make statements. Make decisions. There’s power in choosing.
  
• Your “hard thing” doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Own it.
  
• Let yourself feel it all. The pride. The pain. The meaning. It’s all part of the process.
  

If Scott’s story moved you, let him know.

And if you’re sitting on your own version of “what’s next,” this might be the sign you needed.

Drop a comment, share it forward, and take one small step toward your own challenge.

We’re all more capable than we realise.
