August 30, 2023 Jack Rayner - #66
Straight off the back of his Australian Cross Country Championship title Jack Rayner nestles in between Brett and Joel on the FTK couch to record episode 66. We hear Jack reflect on his disappointing European season of racing and why he thinks he was able to bounce back so quickly to take the win at Stromlo over the weekend. The three guys go over their training weeks together with plenty of shit-talking thrown in. There's yet another competition announcement thanks to Runners Paradise, available to those who purchased our recent FTK merch. As always the episode closes out with everyone's favourite segment.

You heard it here first: There's going to be a new special ongoing series for our patreon supporters. We can't give away the details on who's going to feature on the new series however a clue is they were all involved in episode #66 and their names rhyme with Fret, Back and Pole.

August 08, 2023FTK Special Episode: Safe Spaces with Elise Beacom, Bianca Elencevski & Brittany De Groot
Too many female runners experience sexual harassment while running in Australia.
FTK’s Elise Beacom is joined by Bianca Elencevski, Strategic Planner and Urban Designer, and Brittany De Groot, founder of Flow State Run Club to explore safety on the run from two angles:
How the design of cities and our built environment influences whether a place feels safe to run (or not)
How community run clubs are providing “safety in numbers” and encouraging greater female participation in running
If you don’t think this episode is for you, this episode is for you. Everyone has a role to play to make our roads, trails and parks safer for all runners.

August 02, 2023 For The Kudos - #62
Brett throws Joel off early by arriving at the FTK studio with not only a surprise-shaved head, but with an accompanying announcement that he'd been a guest on another podcast last week. In Joel's training week he lays down a respectable Tuesday, fights the wind at Albert Park on Thursday and does his first double run in a long while. Brett spends 99% of his waking hours in the heat chamber, but somehow finds time to get outside for a ride (his first run back also goes well). As with every episode there's two Tim Vincent's near the end and we close out the episode with a snippet of Amateur Hour #2 with Sam Hopper.

FTK's Diamond Jubilee episode kicks off with a run-down of a few big performances in international competition you might have missed over the weekend. Brett & Joel cover all the content that's dropped to our "Friends Of The Show" on Patreon before getting stuck into their training weeks. Brett battles stomach cramps in Canberra as his body adapts to a new nutrition plan, but he doesn't let that stop him from laying down a good week of training. Joel sees big improvements at Wattle Park and does his Sunday long run on the sidelines of Run Melbourne. During their training weeks Brett & Joel also talk about how they manage training sessions that aren't going to plan. As always, the episode ends with everyone's favourite segment!
