In this week's episode, Chris and Zacca catch up on their training weeks, its race week for Chris as he prepares with some sessions including his fav hills and threshold, before finishing his long run with a pacing job, before he gears up to challenge the hilly bendigo XC. Chris talks about his excitement for the event and bringing a bus full of Shepparton Runners Club members.

Zacca continues to come back from his soleus injury, with some momentum being able to get out to nearly the 60min mark. However race plans are on hold as he confirms that the recovery is taking a little longer than he would like!

In around the grounds, Chris and Zac mention some results from across the country before we hear about Phi Podbury, Run2PB's oldest member who at age 80 took 17mins off his previous years 14k run at the Great Ocean Road Running Festival. We hear about his love for running, his enthusiasm at training and overall inspirational outlook towards hs running.

Run2PB Coach, and 2 x Australian Representative Gemma Maini jumps on for an update on how training has been going, and how she has been going with the XCR season, training for the Gold Coast Half, before making an annoucement about a really exciting monthly award in partnership with ASICS.

Gemma then faces Chriso's quick fire questions and continues the theme of some pot shots at partner/Run2PB Coach Matt Davy.
