EP117: The importance of hill strides with Run2PB Coach Matt Davy & Interview: 2XU Wellness Run Preview with Jordan O'Neill (O2Events) & Zareen Syed (Beyond Blue)

1 hour 34 minutes

This week on the Better with Running Podcast, the guys are joined by a number of guests.

Firstly we hear about Zacca's training including hitting the roads of Albert Park for the trusty km reps, before rounding out the week with a close friend/former traininig partner, Josh Papa who is training for a 43km challenge off the back of some health issues.

Chris hits a tough session set by Coach Andy Buchanan, leaving him and his training Anna, exhausted contemplating getting a bus home.

Coach Matt "Mattress" Davy is back on the airwaves as he records from the car, a segment of training talk on the importance of hill strides and how to incorporate them in your training program.

In the arounds the grounds segment we hear 2 PB's from Coach Jack Davies, a local result from Trav Newton slicing over 4mins from his 10km PB and Freddie Roux over in the U.K smashing out a low 16min 5k Parkrun. The boys also recognise Run2PB Coach Josh Harris on making the Australian E-Sports Championships after winning a continental qualifier on ZWIFT.

Erchana continues to smash out marathon after marathon, still in QLD and edging closer to that world record, whilst another 'performance' over in China has the boys scratching their heads about how this exactly even happened. https://www.instagram.com/p/ClAHzT6P0wY/?hl=en
