In this episode, Tim Buxton sits down with ultra-runner and coach Mario Buchs just two weeks after his second successful finish at Coast to Kosciuszko. What unfolds is an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at one of Australia’s most iconic endurance events: a 240km nonstop journey from the ocean at Eden to the summit of Mount Kosciuszko.Mario takes listeners inside the physical, mental, and emotional realities of the race, from starting with soaked shoes at sunrise, to navigating hailstorms, sleep deprivation, nutrition pivots, blister management, and a perfectly timed 10-minute nap that changed everything. Along the way, Tim shares reflections from crewing and pacing Mario through the night, offering rare insight into what it truly takes to finish strong.This conversation goes far beyond running. It explores leadership, teamwork, decision-making under pressure, and how small, consistent “one percent” choices compound into extraordinary outcomes.Key Moments & ThemesTouching the water to touching snowMario begins the race by intentionally soaking his shoes in the ocean, symbolising the full arc of the journey ahead.Preparation over perfectionFrom nutrition plans to heart-rate discipline, Mario explains why having a plan — and being willing to adapt it — is everything.The power of crew and communityA deep dive into the critical role of a crew chief, pacers, and trusted teammates who remove ego and keep the project moving forward.Night running and mental clarityWhy Mario thrives in the quiet hours, and how staying in motion becomes a form of active recovery.The 10-minute nap that changed the raceA perfectly timed decision that took Mario from empty to energised and made a safe summit possible.Weather, uncertainty, and timingHailstorms, race stoppages, and the razor-thin margin between pushing on and waiting wisely at altitude.Summiting Mount KosciuszkoSnow, ice, wind, emotion, and the payoff for months of disciplined training and sacrifice.Finishing strong — by designHow Mario executed his visualisation and crossed the line on his terms.The One Percent Lesson: Just keep moving — with intention.Progress beats perfection. Whether in ultrarunning, work, leadership, or life, stopping without purpose is often more damaging than slowing down. Movement, however small, keeps momentum alive.

Discover the crucial role of understanding your deeper “why”, and how it can make or break your final push toward success. Drawing on their experiences in sports and personal projects, Tim and Mario highlight the difference between expectations and purpose—revealing why a strong sense of “why” is essential for navigating obstacles, embracing the journey, and trusting the process.Key Takeaways The heart of motivation lies in a clear purpose. The drive phase is critical for achieving your end goals. Rooting yourself in “why” helps overcome setbacks. Relying on expectations alone can lead to disappointments. Staying aligned with your values keeps you committed. One “why” may not be enough—multiple motivations can power you forward. Trusting the process is as important as the result. Embrace the journey; the outcome isn’t the only measure of success. Challenges are inevitable, but they shape resilience. Cultivating expectancy (not strict expectations) fuels a strong finish.Themes Coveredmotivation, purpose, drive phase, challenges, expectations, personal growth, teamwork, integrity, success, journey, whyEpisode Chapters00:00 — Introduction to Motivation and Purpose03:53 — Understanding the Drive Phase06:35 — The Importance of Purpose in Achieving Goals09:13 — Navigating Challenges and Voices in Your Head11:55 — The Role of Expectancy vs. Expectation15:06 — Trusting the Process and Final ThoughtsGet In TouchMario Buchsmario@healtheticacoaching.com⁠⁠@healthetica_coaching on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Threads, and moreTim Buxtontim@timothybuxton.com⁠⁠@timothykbuxton on Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Threads, and moreDiscover More & ShareIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe on Spotify, YouTube, or your favourite podcast platform.
