Twas the week of the Gold Coast Marathon, when all through the show, Phoebe and Anna were stirring, they couldn’t wait to go!

 That’s right – it’s Gold Coast week, and we can’t wait to see you at our Shakeout run!

 In today’s ep, we had the pleasure of picking Isobel Hume’s brain on all things preparation before a big race… how to train, hydrate, sleep, carb load, and mentally prepare the week before your event.

 Make sure you stay until the end of the episode to find out what a ‘dead cow gully’ is – because Anna sure didn’t know (and I’d wager you don’t either!).

Welcome to Monday cheeky chums! Lots on in today’s ep…

Ahead of Phoebe’s Gold Coast half-marathon, we’ve taken a look at Strava and Garmin’s race time predictors… how do they compare, what do they base their calculations off, and do we think either is accurate?

Then we’re diving into a listener question; our first go at answering a run-club related ‘Am I the Asshole?’. We can't wait to hear your thoughts on this one.

Then, to wrap it up, we share your best tips and tricks to help the oh-so-dreadful runner's knee.

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!!
