Cheeky Run Club

Happy Monday Cheeky Crew!

This week, we are making the case that for far too long, the 5km has been neglected in favour of the popular marathon (looking at you, Phoebs) …

We’ll chat about why the marathon is so popular for the modern runner, and why this summer, we should all be training for the speedy, wonderful, undervalued AND Cheeky 5km!

As promised, we have some very exciting news in this week’s episode, which may have something to do with a link down below… and everything to do with the topic of the episode *WINK*

HELLLOOOOOOO friends! 

We’re back for season 8 of Cheeky Run Club – and we’re kicking it off with fan favourite, Issy Hume.

Issy competed in her first marathon in Melbourne a few weeks ago and came FIFTH !!!! We had to get her on and chat about the ten lessons she learnt from her training block, to race day and beyond.

We also have a big catch up after a weeks away, and tease some very exciting news coming up!

Hello legends!

 To round out this season of Cheeky Run Club, we’re going out with a bang and doing a race day recap!

 We had such a cracking weekend at the Melbourne Marathon, and it all started off at our shakeout run with Lululemon… where we had the absolute pleasure of running with you all.

As you may have guessed, we’ll spare no details and reflect on both of our races. We’ll be back in your ears in three weeks… speak soon!

Hello and good morning, friends!

 Life can get busy juggling work, friends, family, running, etc… and the mental load can lead to a lot of fatigue. This week, we’re discussing how that fatigue impacts your ability to perform, and some tips on how to manage it.

 We also have a very special addition of the rundown this week – spoiler alert, it’s about ourselves! We were interviewed for an AFR article, and let’s just say the final piece wasn’t quite what we expected.

 And of course, we’d love to see you all at our shakeout run with Lululemon at the Melbourne Marathon … you can register down below!

Hello and happy Monday :)

 We had the absolute privilege of sitting down with the one and only Jess Stenson again – this time for all things Marathon related.

We picked her brain about her performance at the Sydney Marathon event, from preparation to crossing the finish line, mental toughness and the difference a crowd makes, and even what her go-to cereal is before a race!

 And with the World Athletic Championships this week, we’ll keep you up to date on any big developments on our socials too – so be sure to give us a follow!

GOOOD MORNING sunshines!

Today, we’re talking about a skill that is truly under appreciated in the running world – patience. 

We discuss how it contributes to a sustainable and injury-free running program, and share how we’re practicing patience (trying to) while navigating sickness and injury.

We also delve into a scandal that has rocked the running world aaand Phoebe has given us a fantastic running rec that’s made her shin splints go away entirely, so be sure to keep an ear out for that!

Happy Spring!

This week, we tackle a question every runner has asked themselves at some point in their journey… What do you do with yourself when you can’t run? Well, Anna is officially a pro and is coming through with some tips and tricks to get through a running hiatus.

While she’s giving out advice, Anna gives us some tips on how to prepare and fuel yourself while you’re travelling or life in general is a bit hectic.

 We’ll also take a look at some of your most unhinged running habits – and boy, were there some weird ones! We’ve crowned our favourite as this week’s Cheeky Lululemon Champion, so keep an ear out for that.
