Good Good Running

Last show of the year and we’re doing what we do best:
Grading our own running years (harsh but fair), shouting out our favourite runners and locking in our Shoes of the Year.

Some Ws, some Ls, some questionable grading criteria.
Thanks for sticking with us this year — we’ll see you on the start line in 2026.

We chat about how to actually get sessions done over the holidays: juggling travel, food, fatigue, and family without losing fitness (or your mind).

We finally chat about the Puma MagMax2.. spoiler - we love it

Wishing you all safe holidays!

We review the ASICS Sonicblast - how it compares, how it runs, and where it fits for everyday runners.

In this week’s episode we dive straight into the new ASICS Megablast EKIDEN — the loudest, boldest colourway of the season. We chat how it feels on foot, where it fits in the ASICS rotation, and whether the Ekiden treatment actually changes the vibe of the shoe.

We’re also joined by Average Dom Slim, who drops in to talk racing form, training rhythm, and being a new dad.

Plus a quick wrap of racing news and the usual GGR chats

Tune in wherever you get your pods 🎧
