Each week we break down the world of distance running — from training, racing and shoe tech to the stories shaping the sport. Along the way we’re joined by elite athletes, coaches and personalities from across the global running scene. Expect honest conversations, deep dives into performance, a few questionable theories, and plenty of banter from the easy miles. Serious about running, not too serious about ourselves.

We kick things off with Eoin's unforgettable Tour de France experience in Font-Romeu, from roadside crowds and Ben Healy souvenirs to Tommy Foster's viral TV appearance. Back in Perth, Dean's starting to feel like himself again on the track, while Ryan reflects on a breakthrough weekend at the Gold Coast Half Marathon. On the Gold Coast, Haftu Strintzos shocked everyone by breaking the Australian marathon record in what was only his 3rd attempt over the distance. In the Half, Izzi Batt-Doyle did what she does best and demolished the field. Over in Eugene at the Pre Classic, the Aussies were on fire as Cam Myers won the Bowerman Mile while also breaking the Australian record for the mile. Ryan takes us inside every kilometre of his new PB, explaining the race plan, the gamble of latching onto Izzi Batt-Doyle's group, managing the headwind, trusting the heart rate, and the mindset that carried him to a 67:31. We also discuss what the performance says about his future over the marathon, how cycling may have contributed to the comeback, and whether there's even more to come. We then recap a huge weekend on the Gold Coast, including Haftu Strintzos' sensational Australian marathon record, Izzi Batt-Doyle's amazing win in the half marathon, standout performances across the marathon and half marathon fields, and what made the event so special. There is a bit of Double Trouble involved with toilet difficulties on course.. As always, thanks for listening.
