Lisa Sherman is a Sydney based nutritionist, recreational running coach and ultra runner who has built a life around the joy and challenge of running. In this episode, Lisa shares how she combines her love of nutrition, coaching and the trails to help others and herself go further than they ever thought possible.
From solo road runs to directing backyard ultras and conquering legendary events like Coast to Kosciuszko (twice), Hume & Hovell, Ultra Trail Australia, and 24 hour track events, Lisa talks about what it means to test yourself physically and mentally through pain, problem solving and persistence. Her mantra? Just keep moving forward.
Whether it’s the simplicity of a long run, the discipline of training, or the community that shows up at 1am to help you chase loops at Centennial Park, Lisa’s story reminds us that running isn’t just about racing, it’s about connection, courage and discovering what you’re truly capable of.
