July 05Is our health obsession making us lonelier?
Happy Monday chums!
We’re getting philosophical this week – does prioritising our health make us lonelier? We read a Substack article which explored this idea, and we wanted to unpack it on the pod through a running lens…
We also look at the Commonwealth Games team announced for Glasgow (and reflect on our incorrect predictions), PLUS chat through some more running hills you’d die on!!!

June 28 Drama drama drama (aka comm games selection)
GOOD MORNING POPPETS!!!!
Today we unpack the aths team that has finally been selected to represent Aus at the upcoming Commonwealth Games. We also make some predictions for the Paris Diamond League that will take place in the early hours of Monday morning for our Aussie listeners - so make sure you watch and see how right or otherwise we were 🤪
We also hear about how Anna is starting to incorporate some speeeed work back into her running for the first time in 2 years (!) and how Phoebe is thinking about making the call for when in her pregnancy to stop running (pretty much when the contractions start coming through) (kidddddding)

June 21Hard Launch
Hiiii! We have a verrrry exciting announcement to share with you all today and the first section of the pod will be dedicated to unpacking that!
We’ll also chat through the Commonwealth Games team selections – they’re weeks overdue, and the scheduling is a bit of a mess for our Aussie middle-distance girls.
Finally, we die on some petty running hills our listeners submitted.

June 14 Diamond (Leagues) are a runner's best friend
Good morning friends!
Today, we recap some more diamond leagues, chatting through some middle-distance events, and even branch out and look at some men’s races and pole vaulting!
We also reviewed some of the hills you’d be willing to die on… you'll have to weigh in and let us know what you think of no dogs at park runs, listening to music while running with others, and hiding Strava runs.
Finally, we check in to find out how Anna’s postpartum running rehab is going and chat through the highs and lows.

June 07Petty running hills and winter running blues
Rise and shine cheeky chums ☀️
Today debrief the Rome Diamond Leagues before getting into some novel and life changing running tips for winter. Anna will be sharing her best tricks for running in the cold, while Phoebe will share tips for when you’re sick (she’s a pro) (she did, however, just discover nasal spray).
Of course, we review some AITA’s, and play around with a new segment – which running-related hills would you die on? Justified or irrational…

May 31 Satisfy Circle Pit and a lot of strange noises
Happy June Cheeky Crew!!!
In this week’s ep, we’ll unpack the recent Adidas X Satisfy marketing campaign gone wrong – but we’ll catch you up to speed on the punk-rock-desert-run-circle-pit (Yes, those words all mean something!!!!).
We recap the second Diamond Leagues of the year, which saw an incredible win for Abby Caldwell! Then, we weigh in on your running dilemmas – from hiding bad runs on your Strava to gatekeeping running from your partner!
We round out the ep with a VERY exciting Rehab Diaries update from Anna – who’s absolutely kicking goals!!!

May 24Injury Anxiety
Gooood morning cheeky team 🥰
Let’s kick off another ep with some more (possibly) inaccurate race predictions… we were pleasantly shocked by the Diamond League results last weekend and thought we’d give it another crack.
We also do a deep dive into injury anxiety: What is it, how do you work through it, and Anna’s experience returning postpartum. Friend of the pod, Issie Hume, also joined in to sprinkle some wisdom on the subject as well!
These 'Am I The Asshole' running submissions are honestly too good. This week we’ve got gel littering (!), reporting runs on Strava, and overtaking people who you think are going too fast!

May 17The (un)Enhanced Games are here
Hiiiii Cheeky pals!!
This week is set to be big, with the very first Enhanced Games kicking off with a whopping (checks notes) forty athletes… We unpack the business model and why it’s not landing with sports fans.
Plus, our Aussie girls did us proud in the Diamond Leagues over the weekend. We shared our predictions before the event… let us know if you were surprised!
And we’re still loving your running Am I the Asshole submissions, so keep 'em coming! This week, we’ve got footpath manspreading, playing chicken with cyclists, and friends racing you on a casual jog. We finish off with Anna’s return to running journey.

May 10 Why are women so good at ultras?
Happy Mother’s Day Cheeky Mums!
In today’s episode, we chat about the INCREDIBLE result from the Cocodona 250-mile race, which saw Rachel Entrekin come first overall AND set the overall record! #upthegirls
We are still loving all your AITA running scenarios too! We weigh in on road running, ghosting running invitations, and distancing yourself from friends with unhealthy running habits.
To finish off, Anna recaps all your excellent tips on running while breastfeeding and how she’s used some of them over the last week.
