Running isn’t always about pushing harder; sometimes, it’s about knowing when to pull back.

For Melbourne-based runner Eva Bertram, running has always been about joy: no Strava, no data, no watch... just the feeling of getting out the door. From conquering Point to Pinnacle (the world’s "toughest half marathon"), to a New Year’s Eve “Run the Clock” adventure at the You Yangs complete with fireworks, a wine necklace, and a gashed knee, Eva’s stories capture exactly why everyday runners are extraordinary.

But this season of life looks different. As Eva and her partner navigate the realities of IVF, she’s been forced to step back from running... a challenge that’s tested her patience, identity, and balance more than any hill ever could.

In this episode:

• Running without Strava, watches, or pace pressure
• Point to Pinnacle: 1,276m of pure uphill grit
• The unforgettable You Yangs NYE “Run the Clock” event
• Navigating safety after being chased mid-run
• The emotional challenge of stepping back from running during IVF
• Finding support and shared understanding through a running partner
