February 19, 2025 For The Kudos - #134
Listeners, welcome to Episode 134! It's been another big week in the world of running, with the "Jakgoat" breaking the world indoor mile record, taking it from Nuguse, just days after it was set. Meanwhile, Kiplimo also shattered the world half marathon record in Barcelona.
TRAINING WEEKS
The team shares some impressive training weeks. Joel kicks things off by telling us how he's recovered from a bout of gastro. Tess runs her largest weekly mileage in a long time, including a couple of solid sessions, while Jack discusses his training week and his race result from the indoor 3k in Seattle. We also give a special shoutout to friend of the show Jude Thomas for finishing second behind Nico Young in the mile.
THE BIG Q
The team tackles a question from a listener about returning to running after illness. While Jack, Joel, and Tess offer their advice, it's always a good idea to consult with a doctor too.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
A mix of recommendations this week: Joel shares his recent trip to Apollo Bay and tells listeners to visit this charming small town. Jack suggests opting for quieter long-haul flights with extra seat space, and Tess gives a shoutout to some epic running shorts.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
You’ll have to catch it on our stories to see what the three get up to this week for this segment!

February 12, 2025 For The Kudos - #133
Jack, Joel, and Tess record episode 133 at the sauna/studio in Richmond. The begin the episode with a run down of some recent running news before reflecting on the old OIympic Park in Melbourne.
TRAINING WEEKS
Jack puts together his last week of training in Melbourne, which includes a Wattle Park PB, before heading to the States. Tess dodges the barriers at George Knott on Tuesday morning (or does she?) and threshold's with a massive group at Albert Park, while Joel has an absolute shocker of a week due to gastro.
THE BIG Q
This week's question was sent into us by a dedicated FTK Patreon and one of Joel's athletes. Jack, Joel and Tess chat through their strong opinions on dieting and chasing weight-loss as endurance runners.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Jack gives a shout out to "The Tan", leading to a conversation on the history of the name, while Tess gives kudos to a vertical hanging wall that Jack & Joel aren't fully supportive of. Joel changes things up and gives a reverse-kudos for this week.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Joel and Tess join forces to roast Jack after a certain beer-related video surfaced on social media. Unfortunately for them Jack has the last laugh, able to defend himself with a fantastic story. After his defence, Jack throws shade on a certain hot air balloon campaign which leads to a conversation on irrational fears to close out the episode.

February 05, 2025 For The Kudos - #132
Jack, Joel, and Tess record episode 132 at Tess’ Brunswick East studio for the first time ever. They kick off the episode by discussing all the latest running news from Marugame, Boston, and Beppu before diving into the listeners' favourite segments.
TRAINING WEEKS
Joel’s training week starts with a bang... or rather, a snooze button. After sleeping through his alarm, he’s forced to join the Pulse crew for a Tuesday night session. He then hits the boulevard for a Friday threshold run with Paul, the Balance Runner. Jack shares details of his track session at Sandringham as he prepares for his indoor season, followed by a typical Thursday and Saturday threshold and hill rep session. Tess, still recovering from her marathon, is slowly finding her rhythm but manages to piece together a solid week of training as well.
THE BIG Q
Tess shares a conversation from her Ferny Creek long run with the crew: Are 20-week marathon blocks superior to 8-week training blocks? Spoiler alert: The answer likely involves some form of suffering either way.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Joel gives kudos to the ‘blue doctor’ — AKA swimming in the ocean immediately post-long run. Jack gives a shoutout to the scenic Lilydale to Warburton trail, and Tess recommends one of her favorite shoes from last year.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Jack kicks off the segment with a questionable Flotrack series on Shelby Houlihan. Tess questions Andy Buchanan’s watch choice for Marugame, and Joel’s choice is something you’ll have to see with your own eyes on FTK’s Instagram story...

January 30, 2025 For The Kudos - #131
Jack, Joel, and Tess are back in the Richmond studio to record Episode 130. The episode kicks off, as usual, with plenty of side stories and laughs before they dive into their training weeks.

TRAINING WEEKS
Joel takes the lead in discussing their training weeks, starting with how he cranks out some solid k reps before finishing his week with his best threshold yet at Falls Creek—capping off at 139k for his biggest week ever! Jack, also up at Falls, shares his k rep session, completed at a pace Joel can only dream about, before the two recap their last long run on the mountain. Tess wraps up her final Pulse session before jetting off to Sydney for some corporate duties and tackling her first threshold at Centennial Park.

THE BIG Q
A listener writes in seeking advice on a dilemma regarding the Sydney Marathon ballot.

GIVE SOME KUDOS
Tess kicks off this segment by giving a huge shoutout to the female runners hitting the road around Centennial Park for their Friday morning jog. Joel recommends a new techno/ambient artist he's been into recently, named Loidas, before Jack wraps up the segment by offering kudos to grass tracks.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Tess takes aim at some controversial choices made by the Under Armour team for their men’s elite kit—let’s just say grey half tights won’t be making the 2025 in-list. Jack shares his thoughts on carbon sandals, while Joel throws Tess under the bus after receiving a photo of her wearing a questionably sized visor…

January 22, 2025 Jude Thomas - #130
This episode is brought to you by DoDay Hobart Run The Bridge.

Brett & Joel shed light on one of their favourite races on the Australian calendar before taking the listeners through Patreon housekeeping. This includes an announcement of our next special series (which will run weekly in addition to The Summer Show and all the extra bonus content. You'd be silly to miss this one. We have FTK hats and FTK perfume dropping next week (remember FTK Patreon's receive early access to merch and 20% off the entire store.

TRAINING WEEKS
This week it's Jude who's flying in km reps on the aqueduct at Falls Creek and is able to back it up with an even more impressive session on Friday morning. Seriously this man is flying. Jack lays down another solid week of training before the two hint at their upcoming American indoor campaign. Joel gets through km reps unscathed and has one of his best threshold workouts in recent memory.
THE BIG Q
This week Joel's athlete Danny writes in about cross training with a upper leg nerve injury. The three guys all talk from their personal perspectives about how best to tackle a situation like this. After answering the question Jack, Joel and Jude all have a laugh at one of Jude's recent cross-training related stories.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Joel hypes up Yoshi and his family for driving all the way from Melbourne to treat himself, Brett & Ryoji before cooking a Japanese banquet feast for the entire MTC training group. Jack highlights his love for coconut water - Joel backs this statement up however Jude likens it to "corn-flakes-water". Lastly you've probably seen lots of him across the MTC socials but Jude delivers a hefty amount of kudos to our Japanese training partner Ryoji - the happiest man on the mountain.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Joel brings up a Burger King marathon, Jack is certainly unsure about the Houston Half Mara finish and Jude brings up a social media comment from an Australian UFC star (or as Joel calls it - fighting sports).

The episode closes out with an absolutely wild story about one of Jack and Joel's old friends Callum "Buddha" Drake.
