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 in 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.

Allie Corripio achieved something at Coast to Kosci 2024 that many thought wouldn't be done for years, if at all, she broke the Women's Race Record.
But, she didn't just beat it she smashed it.
The 2020 effort completely shattered by Allie, who in doing so has now raised the bar, following her incredible duel with overall winner Benn Coubrough and third placed Cassie Cohen at the back end of the race.
In this podcast Allie talks me through her rapid rise in ultra running, which she has done while balancing her job as an equine vet and as a young mum. As you'll find out it hasn't always been smooth sailing, which makes the achievement even more impressive.
I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to chat with Allie so soon after the race, and have her break the race down bit, by bit, giving you all an intricate look into what went into the record breaking feat.
