We're in the presence of greatness yet again on Paula's Run Club as we catch up with Double Olympic Triathlon Champion, Alistair Brownlee. Alistair was also individual world triathlon champion twice and won the European title four times. He competed alongside his brother Jonny, two years his junior, at elite level and talks to us about THAT famous race when he pulled Jonny over the line (and onto the podium!) only to be called a cheat. Alistair now has a slower pace of life and works in data research. He tells us all the juicy bits about what makes a successful marathon runner, how at a slow pace might help your speed and what affect heat has on running

AND.. WINE and MARATHONS.. Just what is The Medoc Marathon and why should you do it.

Welcome to this week's Shakeout episode! We have a disclaimer to make before you listen because we obviously recorded this before Paula was thwarted in her attempt to fly to Sydney, therefore some of the conversation around the in-person Shakeout run has changed. Please keep an eye on our social pages for up-to-date information and to find out where in the world, Paula is!We also hear from our listeners who ask for advice on what training area to focus on in order to build endurance to turn underlying pace in to a sub-4 marathon pace and whether their limiter is fitness, pacing or fuelling. We also talk about how to ensure breakfast works for you ahead of a race and how to fuel efficiently.

Send us your Honours Board mentions either for someone else you're proud of, or even for yourself - it's ok to congratulate yourself and it's definitely ok for Paula and Thommo to do it!
