We’re back with our weekly episode as we catch up a huge couple of weeks in the WA running calendar, which included yesterday’s WAMC Joondalup Running Festival, Freo Harbour Masters Classic, the very popular and much anticipated Margaret River Ultra and the PTS Chitty Chitty Run Run. 

Last week we had the opportunity to chat with local runner, friend of the show and The Shaka Project ambassador Aaron Pyke, one of the nicest blokes you will come across in the running community with plenty of experience over longer distances as well as some big goals on the roads to come this year.

Sota Maehara, Bryan Lip, Matt Neves, Ryan Shand, Phil Gore and Barefoot running guy feature in this week's weapons of WARP.

A jam-packed episode this week as we cover local results that include the Anzac River Run on Friday and the Lake Rumble Run on Sunday.

We had WA runners flying over to Ballarat to compete in the ‘Valencia of the South’, otherwise known as the Ballarat Running Festival. 

We also had some WA runners who spent copious amounts of money buying Tracksmith, rabbit, adidas and New Balance merch and gear, with impressive results in the Boston and London Marathons over the last two weeks. 

In our interview this week, we chat to Ben Tay (supreme leader of BTRC) and Ashleigh Yee from the Team Tina stable on their Boston Marathon adventures last weekend, running an impressive 2:48 while sick, and a 3:12 PB respectively.
