This week on Better with Running Podcast, Zacca and Chris open the show with their highlights from the World Championships, talking through some things they are loving about the races, including the womens 1500m, Mens 10000m and how they are loving watching athletes at the very top level getting after it.

Chris talks through his first session back leading into his return to racing at Bundoora for the Bendigo Bats over the 10km XC, whilst Zacca continues to nurse his knee niggle with some easy running fully kitted up to keep the melbourne cold out!

He was racing through a vineyard on proper xc through mud and water etc, we hear via his coach Matt Davy about his tactics to take down a young punter! 

Chris and Zacca get the chance to patch in live from St Moritz, 2:12 Marathoner, soon to be Aus Commonwealth Games Marathon Rep and Run2PB Coach Andy Buchanan, the boys find out what a typical day looks like at an attitude camp, we hear about some sessions he has been knocking out, as well as Andy tackles some listener questions regarding recovering from Covid and how he he balances his training week.
