Running 14000 Kms Around The Country But With Much Less Media Attention Than The Blokes! Uncut with Brooke McIntosh

If you don’t already know who Brooke McIntosh is, you absolutely should! Brooke is running 14,000 km - solo around Australia; that’s between 60 and 100km a day, every day for 200 days, all with the ambition of raising $1.4 million for the Blue Tree Project’s mental health initiative. Brooke is doing this run without corporate sponsorship or media hype, just grit, purpose, and a small caravan crew.

There’s a bit of a gender discrepancy here because it’s likely you might not have heard of Brooke, despite her surpassing some other guys who did similar running challenges that got a lot of media attention.

Today we wanted to get a bit of an understanding of what Brooke is actually experiencing on the road: running through PMS cramps, worrying about creeps and safety, and dealing with online trolls all while staying committed every kilometre of the way.

We spoke about:

  • Brooke’s mental health battle with drugs and alcohol before a bad car accident
  • Why she got into running
  • Why the woman running the country isn’t getting as much media attention compared to the blokes
  • Pants off Friday
  • The safety precautions Brooke has had to take
  • The Blue Tree Project
  • The physical impact on Brooke’s body and whether it’s more of a mental challenge

If you’re able to donate, you can do so here!

Brooke will soon become the first and fastest female to run the lap of Australia—14,000km in the same calendar year—while choosing conversations over kilometres, stopping in schools and workplaces to spark JUST ONE MORE conversation.
