(Watch the episode here) In this powerful episode of Shaped, we sit down with Australian running legend Steve Moneghetti, one of the country’s most respected marathoners, to explore the defining moments, people, and experiences that have shaped his extraordinary life and career.

Steve opens up about his unexpected rise in long-distance running, including how he wasn’t even supposed to run the marathon at the 1986 Commonwealth Games, a race that would mark the beginning of a storied international career. From Olympic campaigns to elite competitions around the globe, Steve shares the physical and mental demands of being a world-class athlete.

Beyond the podiums and personal bests, Steve reveals a deeply personal story. This family tragedy occurred while he was away competing at the London Marathon, his first paid professional race. He reflects on the impossible decision he had to make and the lingering uncertainty around whether it was the right one.

This episode is a masterclass in resilience, sacrifice, and perspective, not just for runners but for anyone navigating life’s toughest calls.
