Cheeky Run Club

Happy season finale, friends!

To celebrate, we’ve got the incredible Issie Hume to co-host this episode with Anna! You may remember her from episode's prior but she will be toeing the line this weekend in the Melbourne Marathon and trying to beat her PB of 2:38 (the gal knows how to RUN!!!)...... Phoebe is just a little bit busy at the moment HEHE.

Ahead of the Melbourne Marathon (or any race you have), we want to give you ten dos and don'ts to keep in mind in the week leading up to your event! From carb loading to mindset, we cover it all in this episode.

Thanks for joining us for another season of Cheeky Run Club! We will be back in your ears for a new season in a few weeks.

Happy Monday!! 

This week (on what may be the last episode this season), we take allll our lessons from pregnancy/post partum and share five of our lessons on how to *actually* listen to your body that are hopefully helpful to all runners.

The Weekly Waddle also rears its head for possibly the last time as we discuss some super cool new research on one of the biggest mysteries of childbirth: what actually kicks off labour?!?!

Welcome to a new week friends

A crappy topic… but one we simply can’t ignore.

 By now you’ve heard of Joanna Wietrzyk, an Aussie Hyrox athlete who soiled herself at a world championship in Beijing last weekend… and the major backlash that followed suit.

 In this episode, we unpack whether the hate was warranted, if it was blown out of proportion, and compare the incident to other endurance sports.

Hello Cheeky Cheekers!

Welcome back to another jam-packed episode, where we talk about your STRANGEST pre-race rituals… whether it’s asserting your dominance or doubling up on undergarments!

 We also chat about the new World Athletics Ultimate Championship with a grand prize of 150,000 USD up for grabs, and why some people are upset that certain events didn’t make the cut.

 We finish the episode on a more serious note, chatting about postpartum expectations and how Phoebe is feeling as she draws closer to her due date.

Good morning, cheeky listeners!

On today's show, we explore the line between when running achievements and content go from being inspirational to demotiviating, particularly in the pre and postpartum space.

Watching someone run a sub-3-hour marathon at 32 weeks pregnant is INCREDIBLE – so why do we feel the need to compare ourselves?

 We also celebrate Australian Cam Myers' 1500m Diamond League final win and play a fun game guessing the top 10 best running cities in the world!!!

Hello Hello!

This week, we’re going through and sharing our list of top ten runs you must do in Australia before you die!!!

We’ve either run them, watched them, or admired them from afar… but whether it’s the toughness or the beautiful destinations, we’d love to get them done at some stage.

 Here’s our respective lists… but definitely check out the episode for more details on why these are so special!

Happy Monday fam!

Chances are that if you’re listening to this podcast, you’ve heard of Mary McCarthy, an OG running influencer known for her fast pace, injuries, and catchphrase, ‘beat the boys’…

We unpack Mary’s new event encouraging women to beat men… but we have some questions about the event's messaging, and ask whether we need to beat men to enjoy running.

 We then wrap up this week's yap with a 34-week Weekly Waddle update with Phoebe, chatting all things pelvic floor, running and birth prep!

Good morning everyone!

Today’s episode is jam-packed, and we kick things off with a review of the European World Championships between Keely Hodgkinson and Audrey Werro!

We then dive into a recent video from the QLD Marathon which stirred up some controversy: Hybrid training club Team Nox taking up the racetrack with two e-bikes who hadn’t paid to be there.

 Finally, we revisit some pre- and post-partum running-related questions we missed last week, and unpack an Am I The Asshole submission too.

Welcome back Cheeky listeners!

We're kicking off Season 11 with a BANG - the Commonwealth Games having just wrapped up over the weekend.

 Australia’s Athletics team was in fighting form, and the results have reflected that! We chat through the NEW 100m national record from Lachlan Kennedy, debrief the nail-biting 5km finals finish between Rose Davies and Jess Hull, and give our predictions for the final events we missed on the Sunday.

We also check in on Anna’s postpartum journey and Phoebe’s pregnancy journey, and how they’re going with their running.
