This week on the pod, a rapid start as the cast blind review Faith Kipyegon’s Breaking4 attempt in Paris which happened overnight. We also breakdown the enormous effort at Dead Cow Gully which almost reached a sixth day, as Phil Gore set a world record running 119 loops for just shy of 800km, assisted by Kiwi Sam Harvey. Cam shares a bit more into the Australian running scene with records dropping faster than kids in the toilet after a warm up, and we welcome special guest Sarah Gellatly (hard G) to discuss her build ahead of Gold Coast for what will be her first marathon, and as always we hear from Cam and Ella on their prep.

We finish with a brand new segment - we’ll let you tell us what you think and go from there!

Another hour (almost) of power with the dawgs to entertain you on your weekend longy or keep you from the depths of depression if you too are fighting a niggling injury. This week we recap a bit from last weeks Race the Sun weekend, a big ol’ look toward Faith Kipyegon’s build into Breaking4 as she seeks to become the first ever female to run the mile in under 4 minutes, as well as more from Merrick and Boudakin as they look to run sub 2:30 and 3:00 hours respectively on the Gold Coast in just over 2 weeks time. Albeit Ella’s build is becoming more disrespectful by the run.

We also attempt a blind ranking and thank you all for the contributions on the Instagram.

Big big love!

The round table is back for 2025 (it’s been a slow, long run to get here) and we review and preview what is shaping up to be a big fortnight in the running world. No doubt plenty we’ve missed, but hopefully what we’ve covered entertains you as we enter the weekend. Best of luck to everyone running Noosa, Chad Cohen at BPN’s Go One More and shout out to Sreekant Nair who ran the Miler at UTA - we forgot to mention him live! Big love.
