  • From marathon to mates

    Came for the GC marathon content but have stayed for the chit chat. Really enjoying the banter between Liam and Courtney. Interesting perspective on running, tris, endurance sports, training, equipment, fueling, and just general interesting news from around the traps. Love the local context.

  • Worth a shout

    Light hearted enough to be relatable but serious enough to be informative podcast (mostly) about running that’s a very easy listen but thought provoking at the same time.
