1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jonesy and Amanda. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 2: Last time we spoke to Terria Pitch she was talking 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 2: about a book she'd written about resilience for teens. Well 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 2: at the moment, she is now turning her attention to mums. 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 3: She probably doesn't like to be called a real life superwoman, 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 3: but she really is. 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: You know her, the endurance athlete who survived a wildfire 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: running an ultra marathon. 9 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 3: Ten years ago. 10 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 2: She's now one of Australia's most sought after motivational speakers 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: and she's joining us now. 12 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 3: Terrea Pitch. 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: Ah, Hi, Jonesy, home, Amanda. Thanks so much for having 14 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: me today. 15 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 3: Absolute pleasure. 16 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 2: Ten years since your life changed with that fire. There 17 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: is this anniversary a big one for you. How do 18 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 2: you place yourself around it? 19 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's a bit of a weird it's 20 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: a bit of a weird one. So the teny anniversary 21 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: was earlier this month, and I never do anything to 22 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: commemorate the day, and so I didn't this year. So 23 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: it was kind of it was a bit of an 24 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: anty climax. 25 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: But looking back at those ten years, what an extraordinary 26 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: thing you've achieved. You were told that you probably wouldn't 27 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: run again. And here you are starting a running program 28 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 2: for women. And as you say, look, if you can 29 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: do it, really anyone can find it within them to 30 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: have a crack at it. 31 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess. So I think I deveved this program 32 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: because I thought of what I needed after I had 33 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: my first done hukaby. You know, I wanted a program 34 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: that was really good and was structured, and I wanted 35 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: a place where I was accountable. But I also wanted 36 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: a place where I felt seen by other people in 37 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: the program who understood that, you know, I was a 38 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: mum and so for me, running was less about getting 39 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: an amazing pace or hitting PBS and more about making 40 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: time for myself sure that my cup was filled those 41 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: types of things. And so that's that's what I've done 42 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: with this program. 43 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 4: And what if you're not a runner? 44 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I guess I guess don't get defends, right, 45 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: Like if you want to run and you want to 46 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: learn how to run, and you look at runners and 47 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: you always think, oh, that looks so cool. I wish 48 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: I could do that, But I'm not a runner. And 49 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: I really think this program is for you because we've 50 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: taken women who've never run before, they might have had 51 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: a couple of kids, they might have really low confidence, 52 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: they might not really believe that they can do it. 53 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: And with the program, by doing their training sessions, you know, 54 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: three times a week over the course of ten weeks, 55 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: they're able to go I from not running at all 56 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: to being able to run five formeters or we even 57 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: had women who've run tak kilometers, which I think is 58 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: really really amazing. But if you're not a runner and 59 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: you're not actually interested, then that's that's fine too. I 60 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: get it. Running stop for everyone. 61 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: What do these people get these women get from from running? 62 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: What is it that they say afterwards it gives them? 63 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of them. I think from 64 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: most moms, it can be really hard making time for yourself, 65 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: and so I think what the main comments I've gotten 66 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: from it is that they realize that when they get 67 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: out the door, when they leave the rest of the house, 68 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: when they leave the chaos behind and they just do 69 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: something for themselves, whether that's for now or whether it's 70 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: for twenty minutes, they come back to their house and 71 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: they feel more energized, more able to cope with the 72 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: challenge of their day. And I also feel like they're 73 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: better role models for their kids. So I think those 74 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: things are probably what the moms are getting out of 75 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: the program. 76 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 5: I saw a lady the other day running near my area, 77 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 5: and she had a baby in the stroller, one of 78 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 5: those running stroller, but the baby, the baby had like 79 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 5: goggles on. 80 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: How fast was she going? 81 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 5: What are your brain? What are the world's fast as Indian? 82 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 5: You know, it's like she's wearing the little baby had 83 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 5: these little speed goggles on it. How quick is this 84 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 5: forman is like some superwoman? 85 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: Well that does sound pretty civil, And I'm still in 86 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: my pajama pants. The kids are just being dropped off 87 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: at school, and so I'm just in my house having 88 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: your coffee, and then I'm going to take some of 89 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: my own advice and try and go out for a 90 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: little twenty minute runs. 91 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: And it's twenty minutes enough. I mean. 92 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: That's the thing too, is when we think of runners, 93 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: we think, you know, either running really fast like Jonesy's saying, 94 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: or running a marathon. But twenty minutes is enough? 95 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: Is enough? Like whatever you can do it. If you've 96 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: got two hours to go for a really nice trial run, awesome, 97 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: But most people don't have that in their day. So 98 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: if you've really got fifteen minutes and that's that's fine, 99 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: that's great, use it, you know, don't scroll on your 100 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: phone for that fifteen minutes. Try and get outside, get 101 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: some fresh air, get some sun, go for a quick 102 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: jog around the block. And if judging is too intimidating 103 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: for you, even or walk can be really good. 104 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 3: And so you've got tips for people as to you 105 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 3: know how to. 106 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 4: Do it, Yeah, because it's pretty easy. 107 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: Well it's not always easy, but you might have to stry. 108 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: She may not know how to do it. 109 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: That's the rightly good point, you know, running even though 110 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: us would have run around as kids, you know, when 111 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: we're adults who might have forgotten how to run, how 112 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: to breathe, what to do when we get a stitch. 113 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: What's the right technique is how fast we should be going, 114 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: how slow we should be going. So we can't roll 115 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: of that inside inside the program. But if I just 116 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: had one tip so new runners, it would be to 117 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: go really really slow. 118 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: Right the cliff young approach. 119 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: You don't say we're pressed with that tip? 120 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 5: No, no, no, I get it. I'm writing it down. 121 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 5: I'm paying you know, if anyone knows anything about running 122 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 5: and you you ran literally through hell. 123 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 4: You can do it.
