Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Happy New Year! Life In The Peloton is back, and I'm really excited to kick off 2025 with one of the brightest stars in the Ultrarunning world; Lucy Bartholomew. A Melbourne native, Lucy's been competitively trail running since she was 16, when she lined up at a 100km race along the South Coast of Victoria with her old man. Since then, she's gone on to win Ultra Trail Race Australia in 2022, set the FKT on the truly epic 231km Larapinta Trail up in Northern Territory, and competed over in Europe at Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc. As if she wasn't already hardcore enough, in 2024 just a few weeks after finishing UTMB, she jetted off to Nice to tackle IronMan World Champs…just for fun!  Ultrarunners are known for their resilience and determination, and Lucy completely epitomises that. I loved chatting to her about how she trains for 100km+ races, what it takes to make it in the ultrarunning world, some of her wild experiences out on the trail, how her parents - her dad, Ash, in particular - have helped drive her ultrarunning journey, and how she finds the mental strength to push through the tough moments. It was a really inspiring conversation that I think you're going to love. I was super excited to record with Lucy in person back home around my old area. We actually kicked off the pod by heading for a bike ride up Kinglake, before ripping back down for a quick brew. Then, we laced up the runners and headed out for a little 10ker, and chatted along the way. Needless to say, I kept the questions short to save my breath for running next to one of the most experienced ultrarunners in the world. I want to continue to explore even more new Pelotons in 2025, and the Trail Running space feels like the perfect place to start. It's a sport that's fascinated me for a while, having dabbled in a few ultra runs myself, so I wanted to bring you all inside a discipline that may not be so familiar to the cycling fans amongst you but shares a deep sense of challenge, performance, and adventure. I was fascinated to learn more about the psychology of ultrarunning and find out how similar it is to cycling. Lucy's been at the top of her game in the running space for the best part of a decade now, and it's so cool that she's now crossing over into our world and giving cycling a go. I hope you love listening to Lucy as much as I loved chatting with her. She's an all round legend, and might just inspire you to give trail running, or even an ultrarun, a go if you haven't before. We even recorded a cheeky ep of Talking Luft, so keep your ears peeled for that later this week!

Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Nathalie Farah of Disrupt Wars joined us live from the community picket that's been running weekly on Thursday and Friday mornings outside Heat Treatment Australia in Campbellfield. The picket has been established and maintained into its seventh week by members of the local Hume community in support of Palestine, who are protesting against HTA's role in heat-treating vital components required for Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter given their use by Israel in the genocide of Palestinians. Hume community members have committed to continued action outside HTA until it ends its contracts with weapons manufacturers profiteering off war and genocide.// Dr Sue Lewis, Acting President of the Victorian Forest Alliance, spoke with us about the recent announcement of the impending end of Vic Forests, which is set to wind up in mid-2024 after years of grassroots activism, official inquiries, legal battles and Parliamentary debate about the widespread harm that the entity has caused to Victoria's native forests. With the end of Vic Forests on the near horizon, we discussed the implications of its closure and what comes next for statewide native forest management. Respond to Kinglake Friends of the Forest's urgent call to action against Forest Fire Management Victoria's planned burns by sending an email (details below) or using the template here.// In the spirit of World Social Work Day, which falls on 20 March, we replayed an interview from June 2023 featuring Angelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis talking about the importance of investing in authentic youth voices, youth participation in mental health sectors, and advocacy. Angelica Ojinnaka- Psillakis is a youth development advocate, researcher, and speaker. She served as the 2022 Australian Youth Representative to the United Nations, and is involved in a number of projects and organisations.// Member of Whittlesea for Palestine Logan Balavijendran chats with us about the snap action on Saturday 23 March outside the office of Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Andrew Giles. The action has been prompted by Australia's decision to cancel the visas of Palestinians escaping genocide,some of which have occurred mid air, leaving several Palestinians stranded with no where to go. Australian families have paid thousands of dollars to bring their loved ones to safety, only to be left scared and worried about where their loved ones will go now. Logan resides in Whittlesea with his Palestinian partner and sons. He has a career spanning education and IT, and is committed to community-building to hold leaders accountable.// Ashleigh Buckett, Principal Solicitor at the National Justice Project, spoke with us about the coronial inquest into the 2016 death of Faysal Ishak Ahmed, a young Sudanese refugee, while he was detained on Manus Island in Australian immigration detention. The inquest, which ran across Monday and Tuesday this week, examined Faysal's access to medical treatment over several months prior to his death, and assessed the circumstances of his delayed medical evacuation to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, where he passed away. With the United Nations Subcommittee on the prevention of torture making the significant decision to suspend its visit to Australia in late 2022, citing obstructions to its work and a lack of co-operation, the inquest into Mr Ishak Ahmed's death may provide a rare window into the draconian operations of Australia's immigration detention regime.// The image used for this episode was taken by photographer Matt Hrkac. Go support his brilliant independent photojournalism here.// --- Kinglake Friends of the Forest Urgent Call to Action: Stop Planned Burns! We need your help to prevent an imminent and terribly ill-conceived planned burn that will impact greater gliders near Kinglake.We've been surveying for endangered greater gliders and hollow-bearing trees in a beautiful, varied patch of forest in Mt Robertson Rd, Kinglake. In one evening, 13 gliders were detected. Numerous habitat trees with good hollows suggest that many more live here, as well as providing crucial habitat for all sorts of hollow-dependent species. In addition, many habitat trees with fire scarring near their base from 2009 (Black Saturday) were recorded. These scarred trees become more liable to collapse with each subsequent fire. Forest Fire Management Vic has just announced they are going to burn this very patch of forest within the next few days.Here are just some of the reasons that burn HR-MUR-TLG-0008 is a bad idea.We are appalled to think of the impact that this unnecessary fire will have on the resident gliders, other wildlife and flora and on the older trees that survived the last fire because of:the immediate effects of the fire and smokeloss of food supply for gliders as a result of canopy scorchcollapse of den treesthe increase in fire risk in years to come because of the pulse of shrubs that will grow after the burnWe need to listen to the research that tells us that forests need to be protected from fire until they reach maturity when they are least flammable – estimated to be about 4 years from now in Kinglake.We can suppress fire using rapid detection technology available now. Thermal and heat sensing cameras can pick up fires kilometers away if installed in towers at optimum sight distance locations. We need to ensure we have trained remote area firefighters.What can you do?We (and the gliders) would love you to ring or write to any or all of the following, citing burn HR-MUR-TLG-0008.If you ring you'll want to keep it pretty short. You'll probably just speak to someone from admin so make sure you ask that they pass on your message.If you write, you could just copy and paste points 1-3, if you don't want to write your own. Maybe change the wording a bit if you can.The Hon.

This week we are privileged to have two special guests on Banter with Chantal from Kinglake Distillery and Justin from Whisky in Isolation. Chantal gives us a run down on everything to do with Kinglake from it's humble beginnings, to their mash bill, the barrels and the releases. We even get the story about the First release and the issues they faced getting it out to the market. Justin has released a Single malt from Kinglake and he gives us an insiders view of how it all works. This is one of our favorite chats and some of us learnt so much and feel it is something you will also enjoy. So pull up a comfortable chair, if you can, poor yourself a dram, and please enjoy the Banter over Whisky!

Jeannie Marsh (pictured) is the leader of the Climate Choir Melbourne and is passionately concerned about the climate crisis, particularly for the lives of her grandchildren and those of her fellow choristers. The convergence of circumstances in 2015 saw the choir burst onto the Melbourne scene and ever since it has been a critical part of most public actions set up to protect various aspects of our environment. Jeannie is an enthusiast, believing that music and human voices used in unison, such as with the Climate Choir Melbourne, can change events and in doing so help us avoid the worst of the quickly unfolding climate crisis. The Climate Choir Melbourne has appeared in many venues and for Jeannie a memorable event came when she and fellow choristers sang a beautiful lament, For the Trees, in Kinglake, June 2020. This area of beautiful native forest had been recently clear-felled – a destructive logging technique where both trees and undergrowth is cut down, rather than selectively removing the trees that will be used for timber.

In Episode #21 of the Mindful Life Podcast I present an exert from a Buddhist Dharma talk I attended with visiting Tibetan Buddhist Monk Khenpo Ngawang Dhamchoe (Khenpo). Khenpo is one of the most knowledgeable and resepcted teachers of the practice and philosophy of Tibetan Buddhsim in Australia. A few times a year Khenpo takes a 10hr roadtrip, leaving his own temple and community in Tilba Tilba to open the stunning and disused Buddhist Temple in Kinglake, Melbourne. The Bau Sen Buddha Ru Yi Temple was built over 10yrs ago by Khenpo's close friend Chinese Buddhist the late Master Lin, who sadly passed away in 2007 before the temples completion and opening. The beautiful golden temple in it picturesque location of Kinglake West is now seldom open to the public. During the recent 10 year anniversary of Black Saturday we were lucky enough to have Khenpo attend over 2 weekends to conduct a Black Saturday Memorial Service along with some wonderful Buddhist talks and meditations. Todays episode is Khenpo's  take on stress, the effects of stress to wellbeing and how we can manage stress in the modern world. He highlights that stress is largely a modern day and developed world construct. We need to consider the role that our mind and in particular the desire mind and ego along with materialism play in our stress levels. Our pursuit of happiness via outside sources and things adds to our stress as we will never be fulfilled, our desire mind will always leaves us wanting more. Ultimately we create our stress by feeling unsatisfied with what we already have, by feeling like we don’t have enough and that we need more . If we can exercise awareness and focus on the mindful practices of gratitude, compassion, kindness, impermanence and service to others, as well as living in the present moment, this may in turn leave us feeling worthy, satisfied and fulfilled and we may then begin to see a reduction in our stress levels. A very big thanks to Khenpo and Ann from Drogmi Buddhist Institute for so generously granting me permission to record this talk. I am so grateful to be able to share this wonderful knowledge with my listeners  Khenpo and Drogmi Buddhist Institute's home base is the Kamalashila Tibetan Buddhist Centre at the foot of Mount Gulaga, near Tilba on the far south coast of New South Wales, Australia. Khenpo and his wonderful small team run many programs and activities for the local community and beyond, including retreats, meditation sessions, various Buddhist courses along with children's programs and family fun days. It is a welcoming and wonderfully inclusive environment. There is also onsite accomodation and facilities.

In Episode #20 of the Mindful Life Podcast I talk a little more about Black Saturday and I share my story. 10yrs ago, On February the 7th 2009 Australia’s worst natural disaster hit the Australian state of Victoria. The 400 fires that burned out of control that day caused much destruction and devastation and my small mountain community of Kinglake was severely impacted. Today you will hear my thoughts and my personal account of what it was like to live through this experience and beyond with 2 small children. I will also talk about the tough decisions that were made under pressure and the ongoing challenges of not only resuming a normal life but the challenge also of leaving this event in the past. Ultimately, an event of that magnitude can be hard to recover from and trauma itself can be hard to leave behind, it is a wound that can split open and be triggered sometimes when you least expect it. But if we are gentle with ourselves and practice self compassion and gratitude and of course access support when we need it, this can help us to move into acceptance, recover and continue to move forward and work towards living our best life again.  *Episode Content Note- Please be advised that the subject and content of todays episode may be distressing for some listeners.

In Episode #19 of the Mindful Life Podcast I talk with Author and Kinglake local Melanie Harris-Brady about her book “Ten Years On” which explores her experiences of Black Saturday and beyond. Melanie tells a powerful story of strength and resilience and most notably of gratitude.. “Ten Years On” is such a powerful account of adapting and of rolling with life and mother nature’s punches. A few short days ahead of the 10yr Black Saturday Anniversary, I was lucky enough to sit down and have a bit of a chat with Mel about her book, we laughed and we cried and we shared and compared stories and I learnt that love can indeed grow from loss and trauma and new opportunities and beginnings can emerge **Episode Content Note- Please be advised that the subject and content of todays episode may be distressing for some listeners.

We speak with Daryl Taylor, a survivor of the 2009 Black Saturday fires in Kinglake. In 2009 when that enormous tragedy hit, Daryl already had over a decade's experience in community and organisational development roles. And since that day in February he has been involved on many informal and formal community based recovery and advocacy projects. His work has been acknowledged with 13 state and national awards and best practice commendations. And his experiences in the aftermath of the fires deeply inform his work now - and have lead him to reflect on the creative chaos of bottom up community-led responses, compared to what he saw as poorly fitting and disempowering government responses. In 2015 he completed with his colleague Helen Goodman a two year report Place-Based and Community-Led: Specific Disaster Preparedness and Generalisable Community Resilience which he hopes can help communities learn from Kinglake's experiences. Later in the show we talk with small farmer Tammi Jonas about her battle with regulators that consider her and other free-range farmer operations legally the same as huge battery operations. She mentions this petition.
