Join Oska, Tom, Anna, and Kat as they dive into the world of running on this week's episode of Run Special! Sponsored by Features, the performance sock you won't even notice (and grab a free pair if you're quick!), we're kicking things off with a special announcement: the official Christchurch Marathon Shakeout Run! Meet us at the Christchurch Marathon Expo in Hagley Park on Saturday, April 12th, at 9:30 AM for a pre-race run, sock giveaway, and maybe even some free gels!

This week, the team recounts their training highs and lows, including Kat's intense 20K and 30K sessions, Anna's return to speed work after a bout of sickness (and her last-minute essay submission!), Tom's double threshold workouts and swim squad adventures, and Oscar's mental and physical marathon prep. We delve into the results of our Instagram poll: When do you prefer to train? (Hint: mornings reign supreme!) Plus, we debate the merits of vegan meat alternatives, discuss the fascinating (and slightly gross) biology of chicken eggs, and share some hilarious running stories.

Tune in for laughs, training insights, and all things running! Don't forget to join us at the Christchurch Marathon Shakeout Run!
