Ellie Pashley

Ellie Pashley is one of Australia’s most popular runners, and it’s easy to see why! The Tokyo Olympian and mum comes on for a candid conversation about her running career, pregnancy and balancing mum life with her athletic pursuits.

This episode is part of a mini-series featuring some of our mighty marathon mums. We talk about some of Ellie’s most memorable races like New York Marathon, where she and Sinead Diver got lost on the course (captured on live TV!), and the World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Bathurst where Ellie’s family and friends wore t-shirts sporting a giant print of her face.

We dive deep into why Ellie was so determined to get that Olympic qualifying time for Paris 2024, and unpack her attempts to secure it in London, Osaka and Hamburg, with lots of help from her training pals at the Surf Coast Track Club.

Ellie Pashley is a marathon runner who represented Australia at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, where she finished in 23rd place. Ellie started running marathons in 2016, clocking 2:46 in Melbourne on debut. She has since progressed to 2:26, which she ran in Nagoya in 2019. One of her best performances was an 8th place at New York Marathon in 2:27. She also has a 10km PB of 31:18 from the 2019 World Championships in Doha, where she finished 13th. Ellie is also a physiotherapist and co-owner of coaching company, Run Strong, with her coach Julian Spence. She is a mum to Tiggy and Luna (her kelpie).

Q&A Session Twenty-Seven is brought to you by TRAIL:

TRAIL is a research study from La Trobe University designed by runners for runners. This study is being conducted to explore the impact of running on knee joint health in people with and without a history of knee surgery. Specifically, the study will establish the relationship between running biomechanics, running loads (e.g. frequency, duration, speed) and muscle strength, and changes in knee joint health on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and knee symptoms over a two-year period.

TRAIL are looking for at least 30 women who run at least 10km or 3x a week with a history of knee surgery. Head to https://trail.latrobe.edu.au/ to find out more.

Joel sits down with Ellie Pashley for an extended Q&A session that covers everything from her debut Olympics last year in Tokyo, to the birth of her daughter Tiggy in June this year. We hear about Ellie's path back to race fitness, her goals for the next couple of years and plenty of entertaining answers to listener questions.
