S1E5: Managing Mindfulness with Andy Allison

In this episode, we chat with Tasmanian distance runner (turned cyclist, turned golfer, turned distance runner again) Andy Allison. 

Andy has achieved plenty of success within the running landscape, including big name fun run victories and a mentor to seemingly each new crop of up and coming athletes - his story however hasn't been without its challenges...

This TA Podcast episode delves into his thoughts on the term mindfulness, an outcome of his experience with depression and anxiety over the years. Whilst still learning every day, it's an incredibly insightful and powerful discussion around how different the journey is for everyone and the apps, strategies and tips he has found useful. 

The chat with Dominic delves into hanging with AFL players, his introduction to running as well as a conversation around how track and field could learn to be a bigger, more marketable product.

Grab your headphones, this episode is one not to be missed - as we again thank Andy for his time with the Tassie Athlete.
