June 01, 2025What nobody is saying about the Enhanced Games
BUCKLE IN CHEEKY CREW this is a big one.
Have you heard of the Enhanced Games? If you haven’t, they’re marketing themselves as an Olympics which would allow performance-enhancing drugs…and it’s just been announced that the first ever games will be held in a year.
We’ve done some digging on the games, and boyyyy oh boy is there a lot to unpack here. Let us know what you think!

Good morning Cheeky community!
We’ve got another great interview for you this week… We had the pleasure of sitting down with elite runner, former Australian of the year, and our friend, Grace Tame.

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.

May 11, 2025 William Goodge's race across Australia against armchair critics
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!

May 04, 2025Is Runna worth the hype?
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.

March 30, 2025Losing/finding your running why
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!!

March 23, 2025 Listening to your body-not always as easy as it sounds
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.

March 16, 2025 The art of respecting the niggle
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."

March 09, 2025 A deep dive into the track experience
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.

March 02, 2025Soo should we all be taking creatine?
Hello cheeky friends!
In today’s episode, we do some mythbusting around creatine: overhyped gym bro fad or genuinely helpful performance booster for runners? We also check in on our 2025 goals now that we’re in March!
AND if you haven’t heard, we’re hosting another Cheeky run this Saturday in Sydney to celebrate International Women’s Day 🩷 we're proud to say that it will be sponsored by Ultra Violette (use the code cheeky15 for 15% off the UV range) and Nike.
