Better with Running

Zacca and Matt talk about the latest training weeks, dealing with a few bumps in the road and managing their ageing bodies, but both seem to have managed their niggles and crank out some good training ahead of their 10km race down in Launceston in a few weeks time.

Myles Gough, founder of RunCreature, jumps on again to chat about his latest feature article on one of Australia’s best ever marathoners, Jess Stenson.  He also lets us in on a scoop about his next feature article and talks about his own racing, hitting an official 5K track PB along with a massive 3K. Myles also discusses his article on James Constantine, who has been instrumental in setting the bar so high with Athletics NSW races. 

Tassie legend and Run2PB athlete Andy Allison also drops in to discuss how he’s been traveling. Andy has been helping raise money and awareness for Movember and in our chat dives deep into the importance of men opening up and talking about their health and where they are at. Andy also gives an insight into the organising of the Mobart Flanno 5K, how well the Tassie running scene is going and some big info about Jarryd Clifford’s upcoming record attempt in the Launceston 10K.

Zacca chats about an epic session he rolled out, hitting a 5 minute tempo into 6 by 90sec ON/OFF. Dodging packed paths of cyclists, runners and walkers in the process. Matt details how he went over the 5km time trial he helped pace for Jake, going in depth about how they attacked the 5km and adjusted paces on the fly to get the optimal result.  

Zacca and Matt chat about their excitement and detail some aspects of their training in the lead up to their next race, the Launceston 10k. Chatting about the unfortunate increase in COVID cases in South Australia, meaning borders being shut, has impacted some Run2PB athletes. Matt chats about how he is working with one of his athletes, Katie, around having to readjust racing plans from a marathon that was meant to be on Sunday in Adelaide to a 50km race 2 weeks later on the Gold Coast. They discuss the importance of staying positive and not overcooking it. 

A listener question comes through that Zacca and Matt discuss, what are the best ways to recover from training? Zacca goes into how he attacks recovery and has adjusted it in the past to get the most out of himself and Matt chucks his research hat on and looks at some of the finer details of recovery and how it can sometimes, depending what you do, affect your ability in a negative way to adapt to training. With more races starting to pop up, they finish the show off with a few around the grounds.
