Elise Beacom and Alice Baquie have teamed up for a new fortnightly series called Sole Sisters. Tune in for running insights, sisterhood vibes, life misadventures and many detours along the way.

In episode 1, the duo discuss Alice’s unconventional preparation for Melbourne Marathon. In her debut marathon build up, Alice ran no more than 10km four times per week, with a hell of a lot of pilates, swimming, cycling and surfing in between. Listen in to find out why she took on this challenge, and how it played out on the day. No spoilers, but it involves corded headphones, flat Coke and lots of sister support!

Let us know what you think of the show. And if you have any questions, send them through to @runwithit.pod and we’ll answer them on the next episode.
