Friday didn’t go as planned. In fact the last week leading up to Kosciusko 100 was turned on its head when an injury came on. We decided to head to Kosci with fingers crossed. If I couldn’t make the start line we figured we could see the elites race and soak up the vibes.

To be honest I couldn’t fathom not running. After so much dedication to training, money spent, built up anticipation and excitement - it felt inconceivable.

The day before I went for a 20min shakeout jog and I knew I was in trouble. I’d hoped so badly that with all the resting that the run would feel ok but it didn’t. I came back in tears and Hubbard gave me all the loving words and comfort in not starting. But a part of me couldn’t let it go. What if I could start and maybe a miracle could happen. Maybe I could run through the pain, or better still, run the pain away.

I text my coach who said wisely that she 100% understood giving it my best shot and that I should stop if (a) I was doing damage or (b) I was compensating and causing damage elsewhere.

So, I stubbornly went to that start line not knowing how this would play out. As you can see from the start line video my running gait is poorly. I was in pain from the start line and I just tried to pack it in a box and ignore it.

The first 16km were so hard. Hard because it hurt and hard mentally because I was slow and being passed so much. I had to let go of the ego which is not easy. By the time I made it to the 1st check point I thought that was it (2nd video). I broke down a bit, Hubbard took off my pack. But then I stood up and thought just maybe it wasn’t over. Maybe I could keep going. So I put my pack on and took on the next 20km to the peak of Kosciusko which in all of the pain was worth it. What raw beauty!

NEW EPISODE! Episode 165: Why You’re Not Absorbing Iron (ft. Rebecca Edwards from Activated Probiotics)

Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient issues we see at The JCN Clinic, but what if the real problem isn’t your intake, but your absorption? In this episode, Jessica sits down with Rebecca, Director of Education at Activated Probiotics, to explore why maintaining healthy iron levels depends so deeply on gut health.

Rebecca covers:

• Why iron insufficiency is often driven by gut dysfunction rather than diet alone
• The fascinating connection between iron and immune function
• How the physiology of iron absorption relies on a balanced digestive environment
• The emerging research on the role of the microbiome in iron metabolism
• And how specific probiotic strains are being studied for their potential to support iron uptake

With over twenty years of experience in complementary and integrative health, Rebecca is a qualified naturopath, educator, and passionate science communicator. She’s lectured to students and practitioners across Australia, the UK, Canada, and the US, sharing the latest research in microbiome science and its impact on human health.

If you’ve ever struggled with stubbornly low iron levels, this conversation will help you understand why and how supporting your gut might be the key to restoring balance from the inside out.
