BONUS: Brisbane Marathon Redemption... Did She Get It? | Carly Barkle

2026-06-08

Fresh off the Brisbane Marathon, a familiar Runbelievable voice returns for a special Recap episode.

When Carly Barkle first joined us in Ep. 18, she spoke openly about chasing redemption at the Brisbane Marathon. Twelve months after her first DNF, and her 6th bout of bowel surgery… the training is done, the race has been run, and now it's time to find out what really happened.

No polished summary. No social media highlight reel. Just an honest reflection whilst the emotions are still fresh.

We talk about:

Whether she found the redemption she was looking forThe race-day twist we had no idea about!The moments that tested her mostWhat surprised her along the wayHow she feels about the experience now that it's over

Runbelievable Recap episodes capture the part of running that often gets missed… the raw reflection after the finish line, before time reshapes the story.

Because every runner has a story… and sometimes the most interesting chapter comes after the race.

🏃 Running Changes Us.

Runbelievable is the running podcast that explores how running shapes who we become.

Hosted by Josh Rischin, runners from all walks of life — from elites to first-timers — share what first got them lacing up and the moments that have defined them.

These are stories of resilience, reinvention, adversity, connection, identity and growth. Stories about the challenges we face, the lessons we learn, and the unexpected ways running influences how we show up in life.

Some guests have overcome addiction, illness, loss, separation or self-doubt. Others have discovered community, purpose, confidence and belonging through running.

Every story offers a different perspective on how running shapes who we become.

Whether you're preparing for your first parkrun or your 100th marathon, you'll find something of yourself in these conversations.
