In this episode of the FitMIND FitBODY podcast, I chat with Zac Harris, a dedicated runner with an inspiring story. Zac shares his journey from growing up between Sydney and Northern New South Wales, to becoming an avid runner and community organiser. He talks about his early days of playing soccer and various other sports, and how running eventually became a significant part of his life.
Zac explains how he initially started running to stay fit during the off-season of soccer. Over time, running turned from a chore into a passion. He describes the pivotal moment when he realised he loved running more than soccer, especially after feeling sore from a soccer game and struggling through a charity run the next day.
Zac’s story highlights the importance of finding joy in running and the positive impact it can have on mental health. He shares how he started a running club in Tasmania to meet new people and build a supportive community. Zac also talks about his involvement in coaching and helping others achieve their running goals.
