Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Vocalising Goals, Overcoming Plateaus and a Record Breaking Mile
Q: What do you think is the best way to shake up training when you feel like you've hit a plateau?
Ask why you love the sport, vary the training stimulus, and consider shifting goals to relieve pressure while staying constructive, so you can rebuild momentum without burning out.
The Band Is Back Together! Gold Coast and Sydney Marathon Previews and a New Race Enters The Chat.
Q: Any warm race day tips for Gold Coast?
Prioritize feel and hydration, back off if effort feels too high, and use water and salt intake to manage humidity and heat; be conservative early and finish strong if you can.
The Band Is Back Together! Gold Coast and Sydney Marathon Previews and a New Race Enters The Chat.
Q: What is your overrated thing in running?

World Athletics Champs and Melbourne Mara Prep
Q: What's the correct amount of toenails for a runner?
Nine would be ideal; if you haven't lost one on each foot, what are you doing?
World Athletics Champs and Melbourne Mara Prep
Q: What did you discover on your running journey that you didn't expect when you first started?
I didn't expect how much I would enjoy running with other people, as I started as a big-time solo operator.
