Human Being School

Have you ever felt like your ideal life is always just out of reach? Like the goalposts are constantly moving?This week on Human Being School, we unpack "The Illusion of More"—the trap of believing that pushing harder, buying better gear, or hitting the next milestone is the only way to feel complete.We kick things off on the track, contrasting Forest’s recent 5km at the Tiger 5 with my own Achilles blow-up. Chasing the "fast track" of a synthetic athletics surface over the slow adaptation of grass taught me a hard lesson: when your ego refuses to take an off-season, your body will manufacture one for you. Forest brings his coaching lens to the table, breaking down the "Strava Trap" and how athletes treat their Garmin data like high school ATAR scores to validate their worth.But this isn't just a running problem. From the education system demanding constant "growth," to the modern dating market, to the Victorian teacher pay dispute, the Illusion of More is the core operating system of modern life. We discuss Steve Magness's Arrival Fallacy, the Hedonic Treadmill, and why the highest form of resilience isn't pushing through the pain. It’s having the psychological strength to sit perfectly still in the "10-Minute Void" and realize you are already enough.Regular Segments:📚 The Books: The Creative Act: A Way of Being - Rick Rubin and Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill🎧 The Podcast: Turning them off. The luxury of silence and escaping the "Optimization Spectacle."💬 The Quote: "You get used to how great your life is." — Jimmy Carr

"We spend so much time scheduling our work and our commitments, and not enough on the good stuff."We’re back for 2026. To kick off the year, Forest Robinson and I headed down to Elsternwick for the Carman’s 10k. It wasn't about the PB or the pace—it was about pinning on a bib, feeling the local energy, and practicing the two themes that are grounding us this year: Patience and Acceptance.In this episode, we dive into the "Calendar of Life." Why do we treat our professional meetings as non-negotiable but leave our joy to chance? We explore how to reclaim your schedule for the things that actually nourish your nervous system, and why "doing less" with more intention is the ultimate performance hack for the long game.In this conversation, we explore:The Carman’s 10k Recap: The "cold start" feeling of the first race of the year.The Architecture of Joy: Why we struggle to schedule the "good stuff" and how to stop treating hobbies as "if I have time" tasks.Patience vs. Waiting: Learning to sit with the slow build of a new season without the rush for instant results.Radical Acceptance: How letting go of "should be" allows you to actually be present in the mile you’re in.The Nervous System Audit: How protecting your joy prevents the burnout we often see by mid-year.Connect with Human Being School:Instagram: @humanbeingschoolIf this episode resonated with you, please consider leaving a review or sharing it with someone who needs a reminder to put some joy on their calendar this week.

In this final episode of the year, Nick is joined by Forest Robinson for a reflective look back on 2025 — the lessons, the miles, the moments that mattered, and the ones they’d rather forget.This conversation isn’t about highlighting perfect performances. It’s about honesty, perspective, and what a year of running, training, and life actually teaches you when you slow down enough to reflect.Together, they unpack:The biggest lessons 2025 had to offerThe top runs of the year — and the ones that hurt the mostPerformances they’re proud of, and ones they learned fromThe best running shoe, gel, and accessory of the yearNew discoveries that changed the way they train or thinkFavourite book, podcast episode, and quote of the yearHow their relationship with running evolved over the past 12 monthsThey also reflect on why the toughest days often leave the deepest lessons, and why taking time to look back matters just as much as setting new goals.This episode is part reflection, part recap, and part reminder that progress isn’t always measured in PBs — sometimes it’s measured in perspective.

In this episode of Human Being School, Nick and Forest unpack a marathon that didn’t go to plan.Forest reflects on his race at the Valencia Marathon, where things began to unravel around the 28km mark after severe stomach issues forced him into survival mode. What follows is an honest conversation about the physical breakdown, the mental negotiation to keep going, and how the definition of success changes when the original goal disappears.Nick also shares a brief reflection on his own 2XU 10K, using it as a contrast to highlight how different race distances create different forms of discomfort — but often teach the same lessons.Together, they explore:What to do when a race falls apart mid-runThe mental toll of endurance sport and decision-making under fatigueControl vs acceptance on tough race daysHow athletes redefine success when the plan no longer appliesWhy difficult races often leave the deepest lessonsThey finish with their regular segments — Book of the Moment, Podcast of the Moment, and Quote of the Moment — tying the conversation back to growth, perspective, and long-term development.This episode isn’t about perfect performances. It’s about resilience, reflection, and what endurance sport reveals when things don’t go your way.

In this episode of Human Being School, I’m joined by my mate and fellow runner, Dan Kokken — ultra runner, father of four, and owner/operator of Recovery Lab Hampton and KX Pilates.We start the conversation with Dan’s recent experience at the Kosi 100 miler, using it as a jumping-off point to explore the mental roller coaster of ultra running and the constant decision to keep going when things get hard.From there, we zoom out into a wider discussion on:The mindset required to endure ultra-distance racesNavigating the highs and lows that come with long days on your feetTraining for longevity rather than short-term performanceRecovery strategies that actually matterBalancing running, business ownership, and family lifeThis isn’t just a conversation about running further — it’s about learning how to stay present, resilient, and grounded while pursuing big physical goals alongside real-life responsibilities.If you’re interested in endurance sport, recovery, mindset, or simply how to chase something meaningful without burning out, this episode will resonate.

Ten days after race day, Nick, Foz, and running physio Ky Wynne sit down to unpack three completely different race experiences.Ky finally cracks the sub-3-hour barrier at the Melbourne Marathon — redemption after coming so close in Sydney just five weeks earlier.Foz runs 68 minutes for the half, just shy of a personal best and full of quiet confidence.And Nick… hits the wall hard. After going through halfway in 1:32, the back half unravels — a lesson in what happens when the nervous system calls it quits before the body does.Together, they break down:The science of nervous system fatigue and why “no fight left” isn’t mental weaknessHow recovery, stress, and tapering shape your performance more than you thinkPost-race reflections, mistakes, and what each of them will change next timeIt’s honest, raw, and full of takeaways for anyone chasing their own finish line.🎙 Human Being School — lessons in growth, endurance, and self-discovery.

This week on Human Being School, we chat with Ky Wynne, physio and an expert in running injuries, rehab, and performance. Based in Melbourne, Ky has a background in elite sport and a Doctor of Physiotherapy + Exercise Science. He’s also training for his second marathon, having made his debut at Sydney earlier this year.In this episode, we cover:Common marathon injuries and early warning signsPrehab strategies to stay injury-freeRecovery tools, from massage guns to sleep and nutritionRace week preparation, tapering advice, and race day warm-upsRapid-fire fun: running shoes, playlist picks, physio myths, and moreWhether you’re chasing a PB, tackling your first marathon, or just want to stay healthy while running, Ky shares actionable tips and insights to help you train smarter and recover better.Links & Resources:Ky Wynne – WebsiteFollow Ky on Instagram for running & physio insights

In this short solo episode, I reflect on two of the biggest lessons from our 6 months away: the trap of comparison, and the ancient practice of negative visualisation. I share how comparing our present experience to past adventures or expectations affected my mindset, especially early in the trip.

Today, he’s still teaching, but now he’s based on King Island, where his love for surfing, fishing, and endurance running thrives. While many know Jeremy as a former professional soccer player, having played for Melbourne Heart and several NPL clubs, today he’s tackling a different kind of challenge. Jeremy’s about to take on a massive endurance run around King Island, all to raise awareness and funds for myalgic encephalomyelitis, a cause that’s deeply personal to him.

In this episode of Human Being School, Forest Robinson and I reflect on our Melbourne Marathon experience, focusing on how things didn’t always go according to plan. From the start of the race to crossing the finish line, we discuss how our expectations met reality, the surprises that challenged us, and the adjustments we had to make along the way. We break down the race section by section, sharing the moments when our strategies fell apart and what we learned from those unexpected twists. Whether it was pacing errors, nutrition mishaps, or simply underestimating the demands of certain parts of the course, each mistake became an opportunity to grow. Through it all, we discovered that resilience, adaptability, and a willingness to embrace discomfort were key to pushing forward when plans went off track. In our post-race reflections, we explore how these lessons apply beyond running. Life, like a marathon, rarely goes exactly as planned, but the ability to adjust and keep moving is where true growth happens. This episode is a deep dive into what happens when things don't go as expected—and how to learn from those moments. If you’re a runner, or someone who’s ever had to navigate life’s unexpected detours, this episode will resonate with you. Join us as we share the lessons the marathon taught us about adapting, enduring, and moving forward when things don’t go according to plan.

In this episode of Human Being School, we’re talking about the "in-between"—that messy, uncomfortable space where we’ve left behind the old but haven’t quite stepped into the new. It’s where growth happens, even when it feels like we’re stuck.

In this episode of Human Being School, join me as I recount the epic adventure of our latest trail run through the breathtaking Sherbrooke Forest. Picture this: a 3+ hour run, over 1000 meters of elevation, and a pair of bright blue shorts that, by the end, looked like they’d been through a mud wrestling match. We’ll dive into the highs and lows of navigating the challenging terrain, share a few laughs about the unexpected perils of fashion choices in the wild, and explore the beauty of pushing yourself to the limit while staying grounded—quite literally, in this case. Key Takeaways: Why bright blue shorts might not be the best choice for a muddy trail run. The importance of humour when your trail run turns into a mud bath. How running with a group can turn challenges into memorable (and messy) stories. Tips for surviving high-elevation runs, including a reminder to check the weather first!
