We kick things off with Shiloh & Brenno’s engagement — how it happened, the reactions, and the reality of balancing major life milestones with marathon training.

From there, we break down our training weeks: what worked, what didn’t, how fatigue showed up, and the lessons we’re taking forward as the mileage builds.

We dive into Spotify listener messages, shouting out some of the best feedback and standout comments from the community.

Next up, we unpack the Cadbury Marathon in Hobart — the course, the weather, the overall vibe, and who this race actually suits (and who it doesn’t).

We also touch on the World Cross Country Championships and the Valencia 10K, discussing why cross country still matters and why Valencia is quickly becoming the world’s fastest road-racing destination.

To finish, we tackle the tough stuff: Albert Korir’s EPO positive test, our initial reactions, and what cases like this do to trust in elite running and fans of the sport.

We wrap it all up with a rapid-fire yes/no round on our 2026 running goals — honest answers, questionable discipline, and plenty of laughs.
