🏃♂️ From Heart Failure to 5Ks & Bike Riding
📍 Brisbane | 🎯 Sub-30 5K
💪 Rebuilding life, one step at a time
#StrongerEachStep
In 2019, I was diagnosed with severe heart failure. I had never exercised, my health had hit rock bottom, and my heart’s ejection fraction had dropped to just 20%. I was also diagnosed with atrial flutter — a serious heart rhythm condition that made everything feel even more uncertain. Fast forward to today — my ejection fraction is back up to 65%, I’ve rebuilt my fitness from the ground up, and I
🏃♂️ Bridge to Brisbane 10k ✅
Apparently the first 1 km up the Gateway Bridge counts as a “warm-up” … except it feels like running on a treadmill set to mountain goat mode. 🐐💨
The good news? The next 1 km down feels like you’re breaking a land-speed record without even trying. Gravity = best coach ever. 😂
Loved every step — up, down, and all the way through Brisbane.

Back on the road after 2 weeks out with the flu 🏃♂️💨 Knocked out 10km today and it felt so good to move again. Sometimes the toughest part is starting again—but every step forward counts. Stronger each step. 💪

Finished another Parkrun ✅
Not a personal best today — but felt strong, steady, and grateful to be out here.
It’s not always about the time… sometimes it’s just about showing up and moving forward.
Every finish line is another step in the right direction.

Not fast, not fancy, just consistent.
Progress over perfection.

New PB 🚴♂️ 20.58km | Brisbane, QLD
Afternoon ride out through Capalaba — strongest I’ve felt on the bike in a while. Still a long way to go, but days like this remind me I’m moving in the right direction.

Late arvo light, Brisbane trails, steady progress.
Somewhere along the ride today, I hit this spot — quiet, calm, and a good reminder of why I started.
Not chasing perfection, just showing up and moving forward.

Ride time.
Still feels unreal some days — from not being able to walk around the block to gearing up for long rides and big goals.
Training for the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail is pushing me in all the right ways. Every ride’s a reminder of how far I’ve come — and how far there still is to go.
