Happy Monday everyone!

Hold on to your cheeky hats because you're about to be blown away by today’s guest.

We interviewed the wonderful Jess Stenson: 3 x Olympian, 3 x Commonwealth medalist, and one of the best marathon runners this country has produced. 

We talked about how to get through tough patches in a race, changing attitudes to the ideal 'runners body', career highs and lows, how she re-found her love for running in motherhood, and so much more.

Helloooooooo Cheeky community!

In today’s episode, we share our thoughts on 31-year-old endurance runner William Goodge and explain why he is getting such mixed publicity whilst trying to break the world record for the fastest run across Australia. Is he actually cheating or is it just another case of the Aussie classic, tall poppy syndrome? 

We are also sharing our latest running recommendations for winter and answer some of your running questions at the end of the episode, so be sure to stick around!

WE'RE BAAAAACK with season 6 babyyyyy!!!! 

In this ep we unpack the rise and rise of the AI training program app 'Runna', including comparing the program it gave us to a program written by a coach, and boy oh boy is there a lot to talk about. We look at the pros and cons of what an AI training program can provide for different levels of runners and share a lot of the communities' thoughts too.

At the end of the episode we also unpack how Phoebe has found the last 2 months of taking creatine and some very cool results on that front.

Hello cheeky pals!

We’re wrapping up season five of Cheeky with an AMAZING chat with Nike Athlete Isobel Hume. We discuss everything from balancing full time work with a huge  running load, how she fell in love with the sport (then out of love, then back in love), how active mediation has lifted her performance, and the community at the heart of it all.

We then have our monthly check in on our 2025 goals, including some good learnings on resilience and recovery.

Thank you Nike for sponsoring this episode and supporting the pod. 

We hope you’ve enjoyed this season of Cheeky Run Club 💛 We'll be back better than ever in a couple of weeks!!

Helllooooo lovely people!

 Ever had someone tell you to just, “listen to your body”? In today’s episode, we look at how stress can make it difficult to keep an ear out for those cues and give you guys some tools to help reconnect with your bodies.

 And you guys loved our new segment, “Conversations with Friends,” and we loved having a giggle and giving our hot takes on your long-run debates at the end of the episode.

Happy Monday cheeky chums!

Todays ep is CRITICAL LISTENING because we discuss one of the tricksiest and most finicky part of running: the art of respecting the niggle. Note we say ART not science because we're not medical professionals and you obviously should seek medical advice where appropriate, however we also know that we don't all have the means to go tearing off to the physio everytime we get sore on a run. We chat about some good rules of thumb to help you identify what your niggle is/how serious it is, and then go through the tools you can have in your toolkit for managing them.

Stay until the end of the episode to help us settle an age-old runners' debate in our new segment, “Conversations with Friends."

Hello Cheeky friends!

Today we’re taking you through track nights – what they are, if they’re accessible to amateur runners, and if so, how you can get involved. Phoebe also reflects on how her own track night went last week, racing in the 5km event. 

You should also definitely stick around to the end of the episode, where we reminisce about our International Women’s Day run last weekend in collaboration with Nike, sponsored by Ultra Violette.

Happy Monday Cheeky friends!

This week, we spoke with the wonderful endocrinologist Dr. Izzy Smith about (drum roll please)...IRON! We discussed the importance of iron in daily life and running, how to know if you’re low in iron, and what you can do to help your levels.

 At the end of the episode, one of us reveals we were prompted to get a blood test after speaking with Dr. Smith aaand let's just say we're glad we did.

We also have a very special announcement for our listeners who live near Sydney for International Women's Day!

 We hope you enjoyed this week's episode..let us know <3
