At just 20 years old, Miah Noble @miahrosenoble is already one of Australia's rising stars in the trail running world — but her journey to the start line has been anything but easy.
In this raw and powerful episode, Miah opens up about how she discovered running during the COVID lockdowns and how it became her sanctuary as she navigated anorexia, OCD, ADHD, and the emotional complexities of growing up. From heartbreak to healing, Miah shares how trail running — and love — helped her reclaim her life.
We explore her rise in the sport, the role of community and support in her comeback, and her ultimate dream: to become the best female trail runner in the world.
