Cheeky Run Club

Happy Monday friends! 

This week, we answered a listener question: How do I stop comparing my running to others? We unpack why we compare ourselves to each other, why it’s so common in the running community, our own experiences, and how to overcome it!

 At the end of the episode, we also have some new running recommendations for you—a fun idea for your next getaway and a recipe we are loving!

Happy Monday Cheeky friends!

This week, we spoke with the wonderful endocrinologist Dr. Izzy Smith about (drum roll please)...IRON! We discussed the importance of iron in daily life and running, how to know if you’re low in iron, and what you can do to help your levels.

 At the end of the episode, one of us reveals we were prompted to get a blood test after speaking with Dr. Smith aaand let's just say we're glad we did.

We also have a very special announcement for our listeners who live near Sydney for International Women's Day!

 We hope you enjoyed this week's episode..let us know <3

Hiya legends <3 

This week, we’re unpacking whether we’re *actually* addicted to running and, if so, whether the pros outweigh the cons. At the end of the episode, we also want to hear your take on this week’s spicy listener question!

Cheeky Run Club's first birthday party is also this Saturday in Melbourne! We’re celebrating with a 5km run followed by coffee/breaky/cake/chats.

If walking is more your style, that’s fine as well! Every pace and running ability is welcome (this includes our four-legged friends too!)

Thank-you so much to this episodes sponsor - the legends at Ultra Violette 🌟

Hello cheeky friends! 

This episode is all about protein for running. We speak to leading sports dietician and wonderful human Jess Rothwell to get an understanding of what protein actually is, how it helps us in our training, recovery and general life, what happens if you don’t get enough of it, how much you actually need, and the most common mistakes she sees amateur runners (including us!!) make when it comes to protein. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did - thanks again Jess for all your help! 

We the debriefed about Anna's podium finish on the weekend and discussed the yearly dilemma of how to balance running with Christmas/holidays.

Hello cheeky friends! 

This episode is all about carbohydrates. We speak to leading sports dietician and wonderful human Jess Rothwell to get an understanding of what carbs actually are, how they help us in our training, recovery and general life, what happens if you don’t get enough of them, how much you actually need, and the most common mistakes she sees amateur runners make when it comes to carbs. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did - thanks again Jess for all your help! 

We also chatted about something fun that Anna has coming up this weekend and some more running hot takes.

For as there have been runners, there have been people who cannot stand running in the heat. And for good reason: in this episode we explore why running in the heat/humidity is sooo much harder. BUT what's less rarely talked about is the upside to running in heat, so in this episode we also unpack the physiological adaptations you get from running in the heat, which (SPOILERRRR) are kind of wild. We then get stuck into tips n tricks for thriving in your summer runs + warning signs that things are heating up a little too much.

We then do some race previews and get pumpeddd for ON:TRACK:NIGHTS on the 14th of December (join us!!), and finish with The Run Down segment covering some bloody exciting news in Australian running.

HOWDY! Welcome to our first ever 'mailbag' episode. This was so FUN. 

We gave our thoughts on... 

• will the running boom will last?
• what if you're never the runner you were pre-injury? 
• what are our favourite running cities? 
• how much do we pay attention to our HR on easy runs? and
• are we doing this podcast for fun or money? 😮 

We then respond to some 'running hot takes' including thoughts on running over the Christmas break and the seeming divide between runners who have recently found their way into the sport and runners who have been around the block, so to speak.

Finally, we get PUMPED for ON:TRACK:NIGHTS on the 14th of December (join us!!).
