We hear about Zacca hitting Albert Park for a final tune up over mile reps before he tows the line for the first time in months over the 10km, following the session he hits the hills of Lysterfield.

James Hansen gives us an update on some recent training and racing, including a win over his debut half marathon at the worlds toughest half marathon - Tasmania’s Point to Pinnacle https://www.instagram.com/p/ClLVX74L6GP/?hl=en, We hear about how the race unfolded and also how he was nearly derailed with a stitch up on the pre dinner choice. James recounts his latest training week, including his innovative pool running session and his crazy fast Michigan session is detailed, including some mindblowing splits.

Chris readies himself for the Wellness Run pacing job, as excitement builds for the event.

The boys are joined by the voice of Athletics NSW, General Manager of Marketing, Communications and Emerging Markets, James Constantine. We hear about his latest field trip as part of the race directors program at the NYRR, where he spent some time behind the curtain of the New York Marathon. James previews the Albie Thomas Mile, and who we should be looking out for in this big race on the Australian running calendar. The boys round out the interview looking towards the World Cross Country Championships that will be in Bathurst, NSW in February.
