Ep 30: This Brisbane Run Club Has Been Around Since 1900… Here’s Why It Still Works | TEES
2026-04-28
What does it feel like inside Brisbane’s oldest sporting club?
In this special episode of Runbelievable, Joshie steps away from the usual one-on-one format and heads down to Thompson Estate Athletics and Running Club (TEES Athletics) to find out.
Established in 1900, TEES is Brisbane’s oldest sporting club. On a perfect Monday evening, with close to 100 runners, Joshie set out to capture something simple… the spirit of training.
What followed was anything but simple.
From sprint groups flying past at full speed, to kids laughing trackside, to coaches driving their athletes, this episode brings you inside the energy of a real running community. Along the way, you’ll hear from coaches, the club president, and runners of all ages and abilities... each sharing what keeps them coming back.
This isn’t a polished race recap or a single story.
It’s the sound of running, exactly as it happens.

🏃 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.
