What it is
Melbourne-based runners who train and race at a high level talk through their own training weeks, then pull apart the latest Australian racing and answer a listener question. Expect a lot of laughter and off-topic tangents about home renovations and footy before the running starts. It fits runners who follow the Australian road and track scene closely and like hearing how sub-elite and elite athletes actually structure their weeks.
Why listen
- The Training Weeks segment lays out each host's sessions in detail, from double threshold days to long runs on the Warburton Rail Trail.
- Race recaps come from the hosts themselves, including Brett's Sunshine Coast Marathon win and Joel's 4h40 at the Wonderfalls 50k.
- Each episode ends on fixed segments: a listener question in The Big Q, recommendations in Give Some Kudos, and a closing gripe slot known by a long acronym.
