<![CDATA[Still Standing by Heartline Endurance]]>Some people choose their hard thing. Some people get handed one. This show is about what you do next.

 

Still Standing is a podcast about doing hard things — and about what people actually do when something hard lands on them, there's no way around it, and the only way out is through.

 

Host Dawn Beaumont ran and rode 15,000km around Australia for heart health, across 200 consecutive days with no rest days, raising money for the Heart Foundation and the Royal Flying Doctor Service. She learned two things out there. The first is that the distance was never the hard part. The second is that everyone she met at roadhouses and in car parks and in small-town halls was carrying something just as heavy — and none of them would ever have called it endurance.

 

Those are the people this show is for.

 

Every episode brings you someone who's still standing. Some of them are athletes — people who have spent years deliberately practising the one skill every single person eventually needs, which is how to keep going after it stops feeling good. And some of them never chose any of it. Carers. Survivors. Parents. Nurses. People in small towns a long way from a hospital. People who've buried someone, rebuilt something, or got through a year they'd rather not describe.

 

Chosen hard, and dealt hard, in the same show — because it's the same work. One group just gets a race number for it.

 

Expect honest conversations about preparation, resilience and endurance, about the long unwitnessed years before anything works, and about the recovery nobody warns you about. Expect heart health, because that's why Dawn started. And expect no tidy endings, because there usually aren't any.

 

If you have ever kept going when stopping made more sense, you already qualify.

Cam started CRC in January 2024 with a simple idea: create the run club he wished existed when he was the intimidated beginner who hated his first ten minutes of running. He ran the first two sessions alone. Now the Adelaide community meets twice a week, Tuesdays at 6pm and Fridays at 5am, and Cam finishes every run at the very back — chatting, walking, and looking after whoever needs it most.

He's a running coach with ten marathons behind him, including a 3:27 PB at the 2026 Gold Coast Marathon. But these days he gets more out of helping someone cross their first 5K than chasing his own times. His motto says it all: slow runs are better than no runs.

It was her first ever role.

She went on to build a career as a dating and social-development coach and speaker, running live seminars in cities around the world.

At twenty-five she walked into SAS Australia: Hell Week. Fourteen recruits started. Two passed selection. She was one of them.

Earlier this year she was back on stage at the Adelaide Fringe.

Sarah on backing yourself, building a career on your own terms, and why she keeps choosing the hard thing.

Some people choose their hard thing. Some people get handed one. This show is about what you do next.

Host Dawn Beaumont opens with her own story, told in three parts. First, the years: training in the dark before work, route planning, permits, funding it themselves when almost nobody backed her. Then the two hundred days — around 15,000km around Australia for heart health, no rest days — including the hardest day of the whole ride, which wasn't a mountain or the heat. And then the part nobody asks about: the flatness after the finish line, and learning how to be around people again.

Plus three people who are alive because of a conversation on that road.
