Really keen to motivate as many humans as possible to pursue their own Ironman journeys in 2025!

This week on Bottle.It Podcast we are joined by the mechanic responsible for getting Biggsy's body through 48 hours of running for our Fundraiser in December. Biggsy isn't your usual runner, he is strong and carries a big frame from years of rugby and paddling surf boards. He was continually being told his body wasn't built for the sport, let alone 48 hours of it. Luckily, he had a mindset that refused to listen, and when you pair that with a expert who is passionate in efficient movement, you get an injury free 48 hour run.It was unreal to have Jon in the studio to learn more about how he got Biggsy going, his history in the field, common mistakes by runners and running professionals, as well as discussing the future. We hope you enjoyed the chat, and be sure to follow Jon's work, or seek him out for a consultation/assessment.https://themapmovement.com/https://www.instagram.com/themapmovement/

Join Sideline as we grab some of Bottle.Its finest for a quick debrief at Cairns Ironman // 70.3. An absolute must race/visit event for anyone keen to legit race in paradise.

Story telling in sport is one of the most powerful tools used to access a range of poweful emotions within the audience. There wouldn't be an athlete in the world who hasn't had a poster on their wall, an image burned into their retina, a before photo, a inspirational photo or quote that rolls through their brain when the alarm goes off at 430am.We are incredibly fortunate here at Bottle.It to not only be surrounded by some amazing athletes, but we also have formed amazing friendships with some absolute legends on the otherside of the lens. A thankless bunch of humans that share the same work hours as the athletes, but ensure they are in the right spot, at the right time, to capture the fuel mentioned above in the first paragraph. Luke O'Shea's work captured my eye early, (full disclosure, massive fan boy, and also enjoy time behind a lens, so found a creative similarity, not talent). He's ability to capture a raw pulled back, or extreme close up to tell another angle of a story always interested me. Rather than chase logos or cliche images that often lead to greater financial reward, he's found a lane navigating both. His linkedin page reads like a explore page of most triathletes, brands like Wyn Republic, Rapha and 2XU all feature prominently. Recent work with the Sydney FC Women's side showcasing the journey from debutants to now Back to Back premiership winners. Another example of quality imagery showcasing stories that provide purpose.We discuss creativity behind the lens, the pursuit of the perfect image, working with Brands/Athletes whilst remaining true to one's own values/style. And genuinely just talk it out. I'm grateful he's work caught my eye, I said g'day, and now can call him a mate, my conversations always leave me recharged creatively and I hope this shared convo provides the same for you.BLuke's Work Portfolio - https://luke-oshea.pixpa.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaam0sQu2nxqdPfmIwgtEZFQhToymNWN5LQ1fJLF4_1Ur7K0VbhG-D1iicI_aem_AaSLjZ8Jvp3wSKht9qnsd9YqAf5NJpMVmQ9FUwgze4MhSA1JLTqlQ4y6edAxcFNNCEOZbufxoDXQCFfohSRBg682Luke's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theother12hours?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

The Collaboration you never knew you needed until now. WNOW has been doing amazing work in the Mens Mental Health space, so when mates within a few communities here in the Eastern Suburbs reached out about combining the two movements on an Ironman Suit, it was simply a no brainer. WNOW meet every Wednesday morning at 6am for a conversation, an exercise, and a space to not feel alone. With a variety of locations not only here in Australia, but world wide, we are excited to introduce this movement to Friends of the Floral that may not have heard about this community. https://www.instagram.com/w__n__o__w?igsh=MWxkMXp0NzVnY3FndQ==Mack Newton Jones & Cormac Walsh drop into the Bottle.It studio to discuss their journey with WNOW and the upcoming Cairns Ironman where the Floral/WNOW Suits will be flying around under the Palms. With 2 Athletes racing the 70.3, Mack and Jack Foster, and Cormac and Josh Hardy racing the full. We speak about their training, mindset and what ironman has bought to their lives.This conversation touches on a variety of common topics that arise with Mens Mental Health, and it is refreshing AF to once again be reminded that we have an involved community pursuing the Positve, the Light, rather than being absorbed by the Dark.We make reference to Cormacs Dad being a sounding board for advice, then with him moving to Aus, missing that closeness to discuss life. I circle back and reference that loss, and it may appear that his father has passed. We assure you that he is alive and well, and this isn't a memorial episode. Thankyou for listening and supporting Bottle.It. The YouTube link will be made available during the week.B
