Speaker 7127.8s - 144.3s

Good to see you on the weekend. Also, I'm a bit disappointed to be on here now because I can't listen to the show every Tuesday morning. I was enjoying putting you blokes in the ear. I thought you covered it pretty well over the last month. A bit soft on the opinions, though.

Speaker 1144.78s - 145.76s

Three weeks away. Especially the guests,. A bit soft on the opinions, though. Three weeks away.

Speaker 7147.12s - 148.42s

Especially the guests, I thought.

Speaker 1148.72s - 149.82s

Very soft, the guests.

Speaker 7150s - 157.2s

No opinions. Really enjoyed listening to them. But when it came to an opinion, gee, didn't, a lot of fence sitting, wasn't there?

Speaker 2157.4s - 160.2s

Reese Edwards liked an opinion in the first week you're away.

Speaker 7160.2s - 164.56s

But yeah, Alian Leanne PERSON, pretty politically correct opinionated.

Speaker 2164.56s - 170.44s

Alienly and people were ruffled. Yeah. Yeah, really didn't want to shake the boat there a couple of politicians i reckon well

Speaker 1170.44s - 176.76s

one's from cambra GPE so you get that and um maybe angling for some some roles in a in aa

Speaker 2176.76s - 180.9s

they've got to keep it pretty clean though don't they when you're in the top kind of like

Speaker 7180.9s - 185.38s

five or ten athletes in australia for this for their events yeah and they're

Speaker 2185.38s - 192.1s

both got sponsors you know like sponsors probably don't want to hear some outlandish opinions do they

Speaker 7192.1s - 213.68s

well i guess i guess reese has sponsors too maybe he's just on a lower level than those two in fact i think he probably is but no that were good you you all the whole gang chipped in i really um enjoyed hearing you talk about the Nationals and the Diamond League ORG. Really nerded out a bit. I've missed those weeks, to be honest.

Speaker 2213.68s - 216.7s

Got another Diamond League to talk about tonight. Crookes PERSON will be covering that.

Speaker 7217.18s - 218.92s

Crokes PERSON will be all up and about about that.

Speaker 2219.44s - 224.62s

Hey, Moose, obviously tonight shows, you know, predominantly about our man Brady.

Speaker 7224.88s - 226.94s

But I haven't spoken

Speaker 0226.94s - 231.1s

to you for a few weeks. And I feel like last week you needed a bit of a hug, you know, like you

Speaker 7231.1s - 236.94s

come back from Paris GPE, your knee was sore, you lost your power, you did your back. How you

Speaker 0236.94s - 246.5s

going, mate? Are you all right? I'm back, mate. I am. I've had a good week. Last week was a horror. Last week the knee was sore.

Speaker 7246.82s - 307.44s

I was still jet lagged. I did my back in the gym so I couldn't really move properly, which means I couldn't exercise. And there was no light at the end of the tunnel. It was hard work. On top of that, we're living out of our laundry,which is also now our kitchen. It's our pantry. It's our living room. And there's three of our laundry, which is also now our kitchen. It's our pantry. It's our living room. And there's three of us basically in this tiny little shoebox trying to survive while the kitchen gets renovated. And today they did some concreting in here.So the concrete dust went everywhere. It was hard work. It was hard work that week, especially when I couldn't get my little, you know, whatever it did. Met it will call it endorphin flow from either running or surfing. But the back has come good. And this week I got some jogs in.I've been surfing a little bit and also got down to Ballarat on Sunday. So got to see the great man in action and he was great, Brad PERSON. But I tell you what.

Speaker 1307.82s - 309.3s

You were good on the bike.

Speaker 7309.86s - 318.22s

There were some celebrities down there. I rode past Rob Deke, Costella, Mona PERSON. I think Benita Willis PERSON was Benita Willis was on course.

Speaker 2318.38s - 318.54s

Yep.

Speaker 7318.68s - 320.38s

Lisa Waitman. What was Deke PERSON?

Speaker 0320.68s - 321.88s

What was Deke PERSON doing down there?

Speaker 2322s - 335.78s

He was just on the side of the road. He was at the side of the road at 18K. So he thought we were running the half marathon. And he said to us like, come on fellas, dig in, 3K to go, all downhill. And like, we've got like 30K to go here, Deke PERSON. But yeah, thank you for the encouragement.

Speaker 7336.74s - 348.24s

Yeah, but there was some big names. But no one got more photo requests than our mate, Brad PERSON. And most of the time it was him requesting the photos with random people.

Speaker 5349.5s - 351.3s

But he was a proper celebrity.

Speaker 7351.48s - 356.58s

It was great to watch. And he loved it too. Great for Lulu Lemon down there.

Speaker 0356.78s - 367.68s

Well, it's a good reward for, you know, perseverance and consistency. Because this man's been putting in 7,000 Ks a year since 2018 without a PB. So, yeah, well deserved.

Speaker 2367.92s - 372.52s

I think I've been going for that since like 2015 crooks before we started the podcast.

Speaker 7373.16s - 401.4s

A few Ks under the belt. You listen to that monthly episode you have with bloody Christian who's digging himself a hole every week and he's filling the sand in on top of him. And he's the most down bloke in the world then you got Toby PERSON who he's coming up but he hasn't been able to his body lets him down and you who justtoils away for no result if you listen to that show you get pretty depressed you don't know you wonder why why you're doing it

Speaker 5401.4s - 405.66s

well you start feeling pretty good about yourself three guys on there battling away.

Speaker 7406.34s - 415.88s

You do, don't you? You just, when I talk about light at the end of the tunnel, you come out of that show and you're like, geez, these bloke's got to give it up. Maybe take up skiing or something.

Speaker 2416.04s - 419.64s

Rough compare me to those two boys. Very rough. Oh, what?

Speaker 7419.72s - 421.3s

They were the ones telling me not to race.

Speaker 2422.38s - 424.3s

Yeah, well, that was an interesting one,

Speaker 7424.3s - 440.02s

when the question was to you, are you committed? And it was two weeks out or something, and you thought, oh, see how the workout goes. I'm not sure. And I think both of them said, you've got to be into this. You've got to be in this or it'll go poorly.

Speaker 2440.7s - 442.04s

Yeah, it wasn't until last weekend.

Speaker 7442.28s - 475.88s

Like a week out, I pretty much pulled the trigger of like full commitment. Yeah, yeah. It's following the buildup wasn't until last weekend. Like a week out, I pretty much pulled the trigger of like full commitment. Yeah, yeah. It's following the buildup wasn't traditional in terms of mindset and focus and everything. So, I mean, that's the beauty of these podcasts, right? You see a good result and you can track back three months and hear the formula for that result. And you can hear the lead in and see if there's any patterns or anything that was differentfrom the three months before the race that went poorly. It's all on record. You'll have to do that one day.

Speaker 2476.44s - 506.76s

Well, that's what I was jotting notes about this morning. Like some people have gone straight away with. It's like the no pressure thing and like the local travel was the difference. And other people are like it's the whole having the longer build up and having a sake in the legs and then being able to go to the next level again. And like, like, yeah, it's a few different things.I think the combination of the course and like, yeah, it's, I don't know, I can't put my finger on one thing, but I think a lot of things kind of come together yesterday that that meant I could PB.

Speaker 0507.46s - 555.14s

Well, I reckon the result, like, you know, I still think you can run significantly faster than what you have run. And it's been there before now. Like, I think the mental side of things massive in that it's almost like, in a way you're not expected to go there and run that well. Like, you know, like, it's the first year of Ballarat GPE, you know, traditionally, like, it's not known for being super fast. It can be a bit windy.So, like, having all of that pressure off, but the fact that you still fit, you know, obviously allowed you then to be able to, yeah, get the result that, you know, you sort of deserve and hopefully it's a stepping stone to something faster. Yeah, but the problem is now, it's like, now you go, oh, if I go overseas, I should be able to run a few minutes faster. And then that changes the mindset into I now have to run a few minutes faster.

Speaker 2555.98s - 577.62s

It was just a feeling too. Like, I just felt great the whole race. Like I'd never, a couple of times, I'm like, okay, this is starting to get like tiring. But the way the wind was going and the course layout like you were the most tired at obviously you know 35k onwards and that was when you got a tailwind and downhill and massive crowds and it was just um yeah what don't you

Speaker 0577.62s - 582.2s

why don't you always go last why don't you go through your week and then give us your race recap

Speaker 2582.2s - 586.14s

yeah we might uh croaks we to, to set an intermission.

Speaker 0588.14s - 588.34s

Um,

Speaker 2588.34s - 588.58s

yeah,

Speaker 0588.58s - 589.58s

so I'm going to have a piss.

Speaker 2589.92s - 592.06s

Should we pre-p preempt that?

Speaker 0592.18s - 595.44s

This is coming from the two guys that bang on about boring weeks,

Speaker 7595.56s - 597.26s

like every single week of the year.

Speaker 2597.46s - 597.66s

Like,

Speaker 0597.66s - 598.34s

I don't know why,

Speaker 7598.48s - 600.74s

what you guys are thinking about me banging on for too long.

Speaker 2601.04s - 601.18s

Oh,

Speaker 0601.18s - 601.66s

here he is.

Speaker 2601.68s - 602.58s

Look, he has one good run.

Speaker 0602.66s - 603.66s

He's up and up and about,

Speaker 7603.66s - 604.06s

isn't he?

Speaker 0604.06s - 604.26s

What?

Speaker 2604.84s - 607.84s

He's finally getting a bit of mic time and you guys are cut me off here.

Speaker 0608.1s - 609.36s

All right, tell us what you're on Monday.

Speaker 2609.5s - 609.74s

Monday.

Speaker 0609.86s - 611.94s

I did an hour easy at 444 pace.

Speaker 2611.94s - 656.4s

In the afternoon, I did 6K in the other at 449 pace. Tuesday I caught up with Archie PERSON. We did like a 4K tempo. We kind of progressed it a bit, kind of started at 316 pace and then worked down to 309 for the last K.Jog two minutes and then did four by two minute reps, which were probably just under three minute K pace off a minute jog between. So that was a nice little taper workout. Good to have some company there as well. Wednesday did 12K at 442 pace in the morning. Then I got some treatment.I had a bit of a tight back. So I went and saw my man, Jay Court PERSON, the horse masseuse boys, told you about him before. Just works wonders with his hands. He, um, yeah, he loosened me up.

Speaker 7656.98s - 659.66s

Hold on a second. Some drug testing after the ray.

Speaker 2659.82s - 661.4s

Oh, yeah, I'll get to the drug testing.

Speaker 7661.48s - 665.38s

No, he doesn't. He just puts his hands on me. Nothing goes inside my body at all.

Speaker 0666.4s - 667.68s

Equine anti-flamp.

Speaker 2668.28s - 674.06s

No. Yeah, nothing through any, any, yeah, we'll move on from there.

Speaker 0674.06s - 676.52s

Did 20 minutes after that just to, like, loosen up.

Speaker 5676.6s - 678.74s

So that was at like 456 pace.

Speaker 0679.5s - 690.36s

Thursday, did 12K at 438 pace. Friday did 11K with 8 by 30 seconds TIME surges with a minute jog between those.

Speaker 2691.56s - 825.54s

And I was back at school because we had Thursday off school because it was Anzac Day. And then Friday I got to school and I only had 13 students. So like 12 of them had a long weekend and just didn't rock up. So I was like, this is perfect for marathon prep. Having 12 kids away meant that the day at work was pretty chilled out. Saturday did 7K in the morning before Carly and I drove to Bendigo GPE, dropped off the kids at myparents, and then we went on to Ballarat GPE, went and picked up the bib. I submitted my drinks as well. I watched the 5 PRODUCTK happen, and then we went down and watched the mile happen. And I was blown away. I was like this event, like I've done a lot of big collections in my days and it felt like this event was established and been going for like five years with how easy and how all professional that was set up.So yeah, had a good experience there. Had some pasta laid low and then got to the race day Sunday and went for a bit of a walk at about half past six just just to the main we were staying like a block and a half from the start line so went to like the main road which is sturt street where a lot of the racing was on and just um yeah walked around for probably i don't know 10 minutes headphones, headphones in, getting in the zone. Notice it was pretty windy, but it was kind of a northerly,so it was kind of coming across Sturt Street FAC at that stage. And, yeah, then got to the start line. Just a relaxed atmosphere. The half marathoners were obviously there as well. So a lot of familiar faces with guys like Archie and Reese Edwards PERSON, stood next to TommyDeCano on the start line, having a good laugh. Yeah, heaps of listeners, heaps of people from the run of PB community. It was just a great setup. I was shocked with how steep Sturt Street FAC was, Moose. I didn't like, I knew it was a hill, but when I got there on the Saturday, I was like, oh, this is a decent hill that probably goes for a k and a half QUANTITY um and the way the way the race worked we started probably uh maybe a third up it so yeah you kind of had maybe maybe a k of it in the first lap and then when you went through lap one then you had the whole one and a half k of it um all together there so gun PERSON goesi think if you look at the just on the hill if you look at the course profile then you had the whole 1.5K QUANTITY of it all together there. So gun goes.

Speaker 7829.1s - 854s

I think if you look at the, just on the hill, if you look at the course profile, if you took out the hill, it would probably be 80 metres of climbing, maybe less for the entire marathon. But you add that one hill in and you do it twice, like all up, or well, like one and a half times i guess you're gonna um you you get about 180 or something or 160 so it's it's a pretty serious hill you're right yeah i do like that it came

Speaker 2854s - 866.42s

at the start and then at like 21k though i felt like once you're up it at at 22 23k CARDINAL that you didn't have a lot there was one other pinch coming out of vict Park FAC, but other than that, it was pretty flat.

Speaker 7866.54s - 868.6s

Hold on a second here. Hold on a second.

Speaker 2869.08s - 869.5s

Vic Park FAC?

Speaker 7870.22s - 876.26s

That pinch. That is not a pitch. I was training there for six years.

Speaker 2876.34s - 877.38s

Yeah, I've trained with you on there.

Speaker 7878.46s - 881.5s

Where's the pinch at? When you come out of it.

Speaker 2882.16s - 886.48s

So you get, you drop down the hill when you go into Vic Park FAC, and then you do that crit track thing, and then you come out of it, So you get, you drop down the hill when you go into Vic Park and then you do that

Speaker 0886.48s - 889.66s

crit track thing and then you come out of it and then there was a drinks table and then

Speaker 7889.66s - 893.06s

you turned a sharp left and then a sharp right and then another left to get onto

Speaker 0893.06s - 893.54s

Sturt Street FAC.

Speaker 2893.98s - 898.96s

And it was also the wind was hammering us straight up there as well. Maybe it was the wind.

Speaker 7899.06s - 900.56s

I don't think there's much hill involved there.

Speaker 2900.56s - 901.28s

There's a hill there for sure.

Speaker 0901.64s - 902.66s

Have a look at my Strava PRODUCT splits.

Speaker 7903.46s - 905.02s

I'm looking at your Strava PRODUCT now.

Speaker 0905.42s - 910.42s

Hey, Brady, before you get into the actual race itself, so like on the start line,

Speaker 7911.22s - 916.9s

talk us through like your nerves and your mentality compared to like Valencia GPE and a soccer.

Speaker 0916.9s - 922.4s

Are you like as nervous as you are on those start lines or is it completely different?

Speaker 7922.94s - 928.62s

I was very relaxed with the like the nothing to lose kind of mentality and this race didn't

Speaker 0928.62s - 929.86s

really mean much to me.

Speaker 7930.28s - 935.22s

But at the same time I was like nervous and worried that I didn't know how my body was going

Speaker 0935.22s - 942.56s

to perform given the like not traditional build up and the fact that I'd race to soccer like eight

Speaker 2942.56s - 1040.8s

weeks before. So like there was very like big concerns that this could be a shocking day and my body just wasn't ready and I run 225 or I pull out after the first lap. Like that unknown was a bit that was worrying me. Whereas those other races, you know you kind of fit and you know you're kind of ready to go and you kind of primed for that day.So yeah, it was kind of two minds air croaks, which wasn't super giving me a lot of confidence. But once we got going, it was fine. Like we jumped in a pack of half marathoners. Um, yeah, I was surprised how slow the half marathoners were going in like the first three or four K. Kind of made a comment to Nathan PERSON, who I was running with that like, yeah, these guys don't look like they're going to run 63 today. Like it seemed they kind of went off at 66 pace and maybe then picked it up. comment to Nathan who I was running with that like, yeah, these guys don't look like they're going to run 63 today. Like it seemed they kind of went off at 66 pace and maybe then picked it up.Yeah, we got to, and then we kind of got dropped. They started running like 310s, whereas they were kind of running 315s for the first 4 or 5K the group where we were in. And then Nathan PERSON I were kind of solo. And then it probably 8 or 9K, Ben Kelly PERSON got dropped from the group and was kind of coming back to us. And when we called him,he just turned around and said, like, my day's done for the half marathon, what pace are you guys running? And he just, yeah, offered to paces, which was really nice of him. So we just said, yeah, keep it at 317, 318and get us through the first lap, if you want. We really appreciate that. And you felt the wind, I think, Moose, once you got to Lake Wendaree LOC, that was a lot more exposed. And you probably, yeah, actually ran into that northerly, whereas it felt like it was always going across Sturt Street FAC for probably the first10 or 12K of that lap.

Speaker 71041.4s - 1043.74s

Yeah, it was a real side wind.

Speaker 21043.74s - 1045.76s

And then the second lap, like the first lap was pretty, it was a real side wind and then then the second lap

Speaker 71045.76s - 1056.2s

like the first lap was pretty pretty calm I reckon about 10k an hour wins but then it definitely picked up for your second lap and you felt it the most on the on the lake for sure.

Speaker 21056.58s - 1063.48s

Yeah and I think on the second lap as well it kind of we felt like we had it coming down Sturt Street which was nice.

Speaker 01063.58s - 1064.92s

A bit of a tail win there as well

Speaker 31064.92s - 1065.88s

so yeah Ben took us through like the first lap in oh I should have had these times it coming down Sturt Street FAC, which was nice, a bit of a tail win there as well. So yeah,

Speaker 71065.96s - 1070.46s

Ben took us through like the first slap in, oh, I should have had these times written down.

Speaker 31070.6s - 1077.54s

I think it was like 6933 CARDINAL, which was good. And then he just, he just kept running up the hill,

Speaker 21077.66s - 1111.9s

which was really nice of him and got us up the hill for the second time before pulling out. And then, yeah, I was going to turn to Nate. So we were sitting in second and third at this stage, and Tommy DeCano PERSON was out in front. He went through with Reese Edwards in like 6530 CARDINAL, I think it was. So, yeah, we couldn't see him at all. He was well out in front.And then, yeah, I kind of said to Nate PERSON because it was a bit windy. I said, we'll take 2K each, which got us in and then out of Vic Park FAC, and it got us to the most. Is that easterly point moose when you do the U-turn up the top?

Speaker 71113.24s - 1114.08s

Northeast, I guess.

Speaker 21114.08s - 1158.3s

North-east, yeah. Northwest, northwest. Okay, yeah, whatever that point was, which was pretty quiet up there, a few kind of spectators, but you kind of run it on the side of a of a major kind of road and yeah bit exposed a bit open and it climbed a tiny bit like you could just tell you were slightly going uphill and then when we did the ui there it was my turn to lead and i felt great so i just um yeah kept the pacewhere we're at and then yeah nath kind of dropped off a bit and that was probably the first time or the first time on that second lap moose that you pulled up next to us and yeah kind of said some encouraging words and then that led down to my favorite part of the course i don't know the straight or the street name but once you turn the left off sturt street

Speaker 11158.3s - 1164.46s

moose there was like crowds on both sides pleasant street yeah so croakes PERSON this was like the road

Speaker 01164.46s - 1167.82s

you went in to access the lake, but then you also came out of the lake.

Speaker 21168.28s - 1170.74s

So you had like a whole lot of like spectators there

Speaker 01170.74s - 1176.34s

because they could see at a few different points. A bit like Albert Park at Melbourne Marathon EVENT, that sort of junction.

Speaker 21176.64s - 1256.24s

Yeah, kind of bit, kind of maybe only like a two lane road. So like you had the support on both sides of the road. It was really kind of cool. It felt like tour de Francie. Like the crowd was almost like on top of you and obviously a lot of people chose to stand there for the morning and then you got onto the lake and there was just very little spectators and um it's a 6k lake and it just seems to go forever but i was just i was just i was just um yeah ticking off the ks I felt like I was in a really really goodrhythm um I went from being this is something that really worked for me as well I was like first lap I was like okay I want to stay in third and I want to get some prize money that's my goal for today and then second lap I'm like okay I'm in second I really want to protect second position so then when I was getting away from Nate PERSON, I was kind of like growing in confidence. And there was a moment when I yelled out to Mooseand I asked him Crokes how far back is fourth. And he just said there is no fourth. Like, which gave me a lot of confidence too. It was like, don't worry about fourth anymore. Like you are, you're running well here. Like keep this confidence and building on this kind of thingand then i had the mentality when i got to the lake that i was going to make the lake my bitch which i never ever speak like that in in any other aspect of my life and when i turned on to

Speaker 01256.24s - 1260.16s

the lake i'm like this lake i've got 20 minutes around this lake i'm going to smash this lap of

Speaker 21260.16s - 1265.24s

the lake to finish this race off and then it was like super windy in the first 50 meters QUANTITY of the

Speaker 01265.24s - 1271.66s

lake and that um the lake quickly made me made me yeah it's a bitch yeah um but we got around there

Speaker 21271.66s - 1318.46s

it was 6k around there grind it out i did yat to moose about 500 meters before the lake finished like when does this lake end because i just didn't know when we were going to turn off but then we turned off at like 39 39 k QUANTITY got this massive tailwind, and then it just all rolled downhill and the crowds. Like obviously it's a bit of a heartland of where our listeners are. Like that was where you were living when we started the show Moose PERSON.So there's a lot of probably listeners that we've got there from the start. People just yell in my name. I was very grateful with the amount of support I got. And I was feeling great like I just, yeah, started. I just had my lap. I was very grateful with the amount of support I got. And I was feeling great. Like I just, yeah, started. I had my lap Ks on for my watch, which I'd never doing marathons.And I forgot to turn them off. But I was just getting positive, like, reinforcement every K.

Speaker 01318.56s - 1323.8s

Because I'm like, there was times when I'm like, back off a bit. It's a bit windy. And then my watch would beepen to be like, 3.20.

Speaker 21323.94s - 1370.2s

And I'm like, this isn't even slowing you down. This is fantastic. So at this stage I'm seeing like 315s, 314s CARDINAL. And I'm like, that's when I started thinking. I'm like, I must be close to being out of break 220 today. And then that was when it got a bit messy. We started hitting some half marathoners. So they're kind of running what two hour 25 two hour 30 kind of half marathons and a lot of them like had headphones in and they were kind of all over the road so moose and your mate on the bike as well were great just like yelling out to people likestay left um which was yeah probably one of my bits of feedback to the race if somehow on sturt street on the second lap they can just say you know marathoners stick to the right half marathoners stick to the left and funneling in that way would be

Speaker 71370.2s - 1384.74s

yeah super easy and then to be to be fair there was only probably 10 PRODUCT people that it it bothered I don't think any like outside the top 10 PRODUCT would have had any issue with that yeah okay

Speaker 21384.74s - 1390.56s

because moving at different speeds or they would have been finished by have had any issue with that yeah okay because moving at different speeds or they would have been finished by the time they got sure you mean yeah okay yeah

Speaker 71390.56s - 1395.52s

because Tommy PERSON they were trying to get a car through for Tommy weren't they or you wouldn't have seen

Speaker 21395.52s - 1400.32s

any of that deal with me yeah he was but but but that's the thing right first place has the has the

Speaker 71400.32s - 1413.18s

escort but but then you get to second and third and fourth and there's no there's nothing so um you have to make the noise yourself yeah and and because there was a decent gap

Speaker 51413.18s - 1417.84s

like a couple of minutes between when that first place went through people just forget what's

Speaker 71417.84s - 1423.14s

going on and all the sudden they spread across the road again and uh the the earphones are the worst

Speaker 21423.14s - 1425.82s

aren't they like yeah they just can't hear you kind of

Speaker 71425.82s - 1437.34s

saying stuff yeah and you feel like a bit of a jerk off telling people to get across um but it's like they pay their money they're allowed to be on the course oh yeah the confusion and like most of

Speaker 21437.34s - 1454.74s

the time they want to move when the best thing is not to move it's just like I'll get around you and then they'll kind of look back and you're like stay there stay. And then all of a sudden it's like they move into your line. And then you've got to make a like last minute kind of sidestep. So that got a bit, yeah, a bit congested. This is like literally in the last K I'm talking about here.

Speaker 61455.18s - 1476.34s

Last day, yeah. Yeah. And then my watch beeped at 42K. So at the very bottom of the hill. And I knew my K markers would be out a bit. So I wasn't reallyconcerned about how accurate that was going to be. But it said like 2.18.30, and I was just like, all right, I've got 90 seconds to get up this hill, and I just fanged it. I just ran as

Speaker 21476.34s - 1545.82s

hard as I could. Got a bit emotional coming over the line, because I was starting to think I'd never break 220 again, and I really didn't expect Ballarat GPE to be the place to do it. And yeah, it was at one of those stages where I knew, you know, 50 metres out. I'm like, there's no way that I'm not going to break my PB here. And this is just, yeah, I've been under the finish lines at marathons many a times when it's been a shit day. And I like, just, yeah, appreciate this.And, yeah, saw mona he kind of gave me a shake of the hand and said said congratulations and the commentator did go to send me through for another lap she was like here comes one of our marathoners about to start their second lap and I'm like oh this is a bit awkward I'm actually finishing um so that kind of ruin the moment a tiny bit but um yeah, stoked across the line. As I said, it felt amazing, like plenty of running in the last couple of Ks PRODUCT.And, yeah, it was a really pleasant experience until I think quickly got pulled aside. And, yeah, found out I had to do a drug test, which I'd done once before at Stahl in 2012. Have you guys done one before? No.

Speaker 71546.36s - 1548.28s

Only at home.

Speaker 21548.98s - 1552.66s

Oh yeah. So you're on at home? And blood.

Speaker 71552.66s - 1553.34s

And blood, yeah.

Speaker 21553.64s - 1625.32s

So yeah, this was, yeah, just urine. Tommy PERSON got blood as well as you're on. But it's just a, I want to just to like see Carly and Zach PERSON straight away and like just celebrate. You know, go to a pub with some mates and stuff afterwards. And I fully understand like the importance of clean sport and get that.But I knew straight away after my experience it's stalled that it's like a couple of our process to be able to actual provider sample. So it went from, yeah, skull and water, gatorates, trying to get as much liquid in me as possible. And then I think, yeah, we went to presentations, and I think it was like 12.30, 1 TIMEpm,but I like the time I could provide a sample. At this stage, like Carly PERSON's sat in the car for two hours out the front of our hotel, and like everyone's gone home, and you leave the town hall with your novelty check and um and backpack and everyone's packing up um guard rails and things like that so um yeah it wasyeah it's just a bit of a buzz kill because you just want to yeah start celebrating with your mates who also had good days and you're you're stuck in a town hall but that's part of our sport and um yeah definitely not complaining about

Speaker 01625.32s - 1631.2s

the importance of clean sport but then you can't bella barlotte marathon and they've got drug

Speaker 21631.2s - 1670.16s

testers there they were testing down a fourth too and those guys do a great job like they're very thorough and there's obviously strict procedures and stuff you follow but then i start like i'm the guy that gets nervous when the police are behind me driving and i'm just like have i got cocaine in the boot for some reason? Like, has someone planted drugs in my car? Like, what can I possibly be guilty for?I start thinking about, like, what supplements have I taken or what meals have I eaten in the last week? And, like, how many weeks ago was on antibiotics and things like that? I start just, like, panicking straight away. But, yeah, we get the results in two to four weeks. They send them off to the lab.And I'm just like, is this the Peter Bowl ORG lab? And they're like, yep, that's the same lab.

Speaker 01670.68s - 1671.28s

Good luck, mate.

Speaker 21671.44s - 1685.28s

Good luck. I know. I'm like, almost like I can't celebrate until I know that I'm clean. But I'd want to be on some pretty dodgy pads if all I'm doing is running 219, 40. They're not working too well, if that's the case.

Speaker 01685.62s - 1695.02s

So you weren't doing any sums throughout the race. Like obviously you probably saw a halfway split, but outside of that you weren't really taken, like calculating what you needed to run for the last 10 PRODUCTK to wait.

Speaker 21695.26s - 1725.28s

So you're 20? No, so I obviously saw halfway and I'm like, okay, we've got 27 seconds up our sleeve. And then our next K up the hill was like 328 and I'm like okay we've just lost eight seconds already that is not good um so yeah I had no no idea until yeah when my watch clicked 42 and even like moose you never gave me a split or said you know this isgo for 220 kind of thing you were just yeah saying run strong relax my jaw you said my jaw. I don't know any of it, to be honest, mate.

Speaker 01725.4s - 1736.4s

Yeah. So, and I think that's probably helped me too, crooks. Like, I used to always get fixated in the 5K splits. Like, I just know they're 1635 if you want to break 220.

Speaker 21736.4s - 1742.32s

And I just never saw a 5K split throughout the whole race. Something in that, maybe?

Speaker 01742.32s - 1746.12s

Yeah. Yeah, I think there was something in that. Obviously, being relaxed was good

Speaker 21746.12s - 1752.12s

it was do you know what was do you know what you mentioned before about that positive feedback

Speaker 71752.12s - 1760.26s

you're getting from the the good watch data coming through so you're like it's the same thing

Speaker 21760.26s - 1765.1s

with chasing people down isn't it? It can go either way.

Speaker 61765.56s - 1768.3s

Watch data can, if you're seeing some bad stuff,

Speaker 71768.54s - 1770.62s

it can totally ruin your headspace

Speaker 61770.62s - 1772.54s

and it can put dark thoughts in your head

Speaker 71772.54s - 1812.02s

and it can make you quit and it just makes it hard to get excited. In fact, it can do, like, drag you, drag you down into like the deep depths of the marathon well. But it can also do exactly what it did to you. You can look down and think, I'm fucking flying today.Give me more of this. I want to see what the next split is. 318, 317, 315. And you're like, I'm flying. I want to see the next one already. So, yeah, it just depends on what sort of day you're having as to whether you can use itto your advantage or not, doesn't it?

Speaker 21812.02s - 1818.54s

Yeah, and I think, like, I never then look down at the pace between the K-splits going off.

Speaker 71818.94s - 1821.64s

So my goal was always, run a pace, it feels right.

Speaker 01821.82s - 1824.3s

Okay, bang, that equal to 318, good.

Speaker 21824.68s - 1834.46s

Now, run a pace, it feels a lot right, it beeps again. Oh, that was a 316, but it feels right. Okay, bang, that equaled 318. Good. Now run a pace, it feels a lot right. It beeps again. Oh, that was a 316 PRODUCT, but it felt right. Like, I never chased a pace on my watch. I was always just feeling the pace. And I only looked at my watch.

Speaker 01834.58s - 1846.12s

Yeah, I looked at it 42 times. That was it. But I was, and there was times where I'm like, back off a bit. This feels a bit like you go on too quick. And then it was backing off because of how it felt not what my

Speaker 21846.12s - 1850.92s

watch was telling me because 315s PRODUCT and stuff in the past would have like freaked me out that

Speaker 01850.92s - 1855.8s

I'm going to then blow up so yeah there was something in that as well I think there was something

Speaker 21855.8s - 1884.68s

in having Carly PERSON on course like I usually go solo I mean sitting in a hotel room by myself for three or four nights leading in and just having someone on the course that obviously means so much in your life. Like you get excited for certain points of the course knowing that that was coming up. So that, and it probably kept me calm in the drive over and the hotel room and things like that as well. So, yeah, that was probably another factor that I did differently for this one coming into this race.

Speaker 01885.1s - 1889.26s

Looks like a nice, just on your Strava PRODUCT here, looks like a nice finish, nice sort of downhill.

Speaker 21889.52s - 1925.8s

Oh, mate, so good. And that was like, yeah, downhill and tailwind. And then you chuck the crowd factor in there. Yeah, and you do climb for the last 400, but you know what it's like. You can see the finish line. You know you're not going to die.You're just like, I can get up this hill. Like, it's's not going to if you having a bad day it would be really hard but yeah when everything was in control it was um it was a great course that really hats off to the organizers for putting that together in their first year i think it's going to become a yeah a really big race on the Australian calendar for that autumn marathon.

Speaker 01926.94s - 1943.24s

Hey Moose PERSON, question for you. So you've obviously been in Ballarat GPE a lot. And it sounds like, and obviously like it was a successful first year for Ballarat, but as we know, like the weather can be real fickle down there. Would you say that this weekend was almost like as good as it gets down there? Absolutely.

Speaker 71944.18s - 1946.68s

Saturday night when I got down there and watched the mile TIME,

Speaker 01947.52s - 1950.16s

I spoke to a couple of other Ballarat GPE people

Speaker 71950.16s - 2011.06s

and they were just looking at me going, what the fuck is going on? Like this is where they go and take photos for catalogs. That's how good the weather was that night. Not a breath of wind. It had that nice, like, pink kind of sunset.It made the buildings look amazing. And then the next morning, it wasn't as good as the Saturday night, but it was about as good as you could hope for for Ballarat GPE. And look, they do everything right, these guys. Like, they've marketed it real well. They've gone high class in how they they've like all their logistics they haven't half asked itthey're going we can sort of see that they've gone oh we're going to put a big event on here and it's going to be really good from the first year we're not going to start grassroots and then slowly introduce things they're like let's make it big and let's give everyone a top level experience. And they got four and a half thousand maybe.

Speaker 22011.06s - 2012.9s

I think 4,800 I read today.

Speaker 72013.12s - 2029.3s

Oh, Jesus. So that's, like that's enormous. And then everyone's come and seen the weather and had a fantastic, even if their race didn't go well, like they knew that it was like, like, it was a great day down in Ballarat GPE. It is going to set this race up.

Speaker 22029.6s - 2030.74s

Moose question, yeah.

Speaker 72030.94s - 2043.5s

About the wind there, like, I ran Ballarat 15K FAC so many times around the lake on windy days. And it feels like you can almost make up what you'll lose, which I don't think is like traditional

Speaker 22043.5s - 2045.56s

for when you do windy races.

Speaker 72045.82s - 2047.96s

Like does it swirl around there?

Speaker 22048.48s - 2052.02s

No, you just, you just had the best wind that you could get for the lake.

Speaker 72052.02s - 2053.06s

Yeah, Nordal LOC is good, isn't it?

Speaker 22053.06s - 2055.94s

Because you get more cover on the north, but then you get the tailwind on the south.

Speaker 72056.34s - 2060.02s

Yeah, because going through the gardens, you got your headwind.

Speaker 22060.88s - 2067.36s

And then, and so that, like that, you get coverage from the gardens basically a lot more trees in

Speaker 72067.36s - 2086.78s

there a lot more buildings and then you turn around you got the cross wind along the top of the lake and then you've got a tail in where it's real exposed in in the opposite wind it is it is so awful and you would have had a hell of a time coming back around that lake so everything worked

Speaker 02086.78s - 2126.48s

out fine for you yeah the only reason i brought up the weather moves because i read an article in the days leading up and mona said look you know we've put everything in place like it's a great course like obviously the one thing that we can't control is the weather and ballarat you know is known for a bit of wind and i can't if it was, you're going to get one in three, like one out of every three days will be good or two out of three days will be good. And I guess like the only risk for this event would be,and I hateful weather to impact it, but you get a couple of these rough Ballarat GPE days a few years in a row and it's probably not going to be like the best, or the most enjoyable experience

Speaker 72126.48s - 2136.26s

no it could be carnage out there but that's that's any marathon you're right it's hard to it's hard to say

Speaker 02136.26s - 2141.88s

oh just be careful at baller at because yeah i mean you can get a 30 degree day at sydney

Speaker 72141.88s - 2146.26s

or you can get a like a 35, 40k an hour win,

Speaker 02146.42s - 2148.34s

just like we've had at Melbourne a bunch of times.

Speaker 72149.26s - 2152.54s

It is, or Osaka GPE can be piss and rain.

Speaker 02152.74s - 2156.66s

Like next year, every one of those could be the exact opposite and perfect.

Speaker 72157.26s - 2200.14s

What they've done well, and maybe like one, you know the recommendation you had about the half people, Brady? For me, although it is an amazing finish in the city, one you know the recommendation you had about the half people brady for me although it is an amazing finish in the city down there uh and and and you get to go through like the the heritage buildings and the lydia street FAC and all that go past that the it's it's a hill that they don't need. You could realistically loop them back at the start lineto get rid of the real sharpness of the hills and you could just run a little bit further out Remembrance Drive FAC perhaps. Or you could just like, there's ways to make the course faster if they wanted. Okay.

Speaker 22200.74s - 2202.94s

There's just so much flat area in Ballarat GPE.

Speaker 72202.94s - 2232.34s

They could do that. And they've got like an endless road out remembrance drive that's pretty flat that you can just go out and back on to make up hilly. Like that, it's a novelty down there. But for some people, if you're going to make it for people like Tom PERSON to come down, you to come down again and run PBs. And, I mean, you did it. So, but if you, like, if you want to get more of a chance of running PBs,then you can change the course and make it quicker.

Speaker 02232.78s - 2250.84s

Well, that's the message I sent you, Brady on Saturday night. It was like, good luck, mate. You know, go there, run a PB. Like, because if you run a PB there, you'll put Ballarat GPE on the map, you know, like knowing, you know, the fact that you've traveled all over the world trying to run, like, fast marathons, and then you've done it in Ballarat GPE.Like, what are the chances?

Speaker 22250.84s - 2254.62s

You reckon I invoice them gross? Not many people ran PBs there. Maybe.

Speaker 72254.9s - 2258.54s

Wait for that drug test comes back.

Speaker 02258.84s - 2259.14s

Yeah.

Speaker 22259.26s - 2261.42s

I'm very confident the drug test is going to be fine.

Speaker 72261.98s - 2266.8s

So Brady, question in terms of, what does this change now for future marathons in

Speaker 02266.8s - 2272.96s

terms of your training leading in, but also potentially your like mental approach?

Speaker 72275.04s - 2275.92s

Good question.

Speaker 22276.46s - 2277.02s

That's a thing.

Speaker 02277.1s - 2281.52s

You can't like pinpoint one thing and be like, like I did see a comment somewhere like

Speaker 22281.52s - 2352.9s

it's all those 200K weeks like I did one 200k week in the last three months. So I don't think it's like, I do want to experiment with getting more mileage under my belt. I think I run well off higher mileage and a lot of easy jogging and stuff like that. It feels like monkeys just off the back a bit croaks because I've gone, like, yeah, as I said before, it's obviously pretty well documented. I'm not great at running marathons and I was on a bit of a regression.So this was one of the ones, probably the only one, where I ran strong like every K of the race. So it gives me a lot of confidence that if I, yeah, do the next one wherever it is, that I can run a solid, you know, 42K in a row, not be fading at 35K and have to survive a bit. I should also note that I went a bit heavier carb-wise. So my three days leading in with my carbs, I tracked all that. And Thursday, I had 677 grams QUANTITY. Friday I had 640 and Saturday I had 590.So I went probably a bit over the old 10 grams per kilo QUANTITY of body weight. And then I probably had close to 100 grams an hour during the race. So I think that...

Speaker 72352.9s - 2353.74s

A hundred an hour QUANTITY?

Speaker 22354.26s - 2355.56s

Yeah, I reckon...

Speaker 72355.56s - 2357.28s

Solid. It's a solid amount.

Speaker 22357.58s - 2395.48s

Yeah, I had the 90... I pretty much nearly finished the 90 gram QUANTITY big precision one. And I had the drink mix as well so I was kind of topping up but and that's been a long time practicing to be able to hold that and then I also taped like random gels I just had in the shed to the drink bottles and then I would just grab them off my drink bottle and just have like one mouthful and then throw it just to just get like littletop ups as I was going and they were just different flavors as well so I think that's another thing croaks like the the fueling for this one obviously worked because I felt strong the whole way yeah so it's something

Speaker 02395.48s - 2404.18s

I take yeah confidence in next time around and um you uh you uh you dumped your um your little athlete

Speaker 22404.18s - 2406.9s

your coach at 30K mark, flattened him out.

Speaker 62407.12s - 2410.92s

Yeah, well, I'll give him any warning, or was it just all bets are off at that point or what?

Speaker 72411.06s - 2414.06s

No, it was just my turn to lead, and I just kind of kept the pace similar.

Speaker 22414.06s - 2420.96s

And Nate's probably someone we do need to get, because he should be running, yeah, under 220 is a 2930 guy and 65-minute guy,

Speaker 72421.04s - 2425.34s

but just had struggles trying to get the carbs in and the calorie.

Speaker 22425.44s - 2456.14s

So I think he did four gels for the whole race. So we're talking about 120 grams QUANTITY for the whole race. And yet you can easy just look at his splits and see that he's hit the wall. And I said to him, that's probably the hardest thing he'll ever do trying to finish that race. Like it's a very hard situation you put yourself in when you're bonking like that. And I also said that I've just felt the best I've ever felt in my 11th marathon.Like it takes tweaking and changing things and trial and error to be able to, like it's a prick of an event in the marathon to be able to get right.

Speaker 02457.44s - 2459.56s

Get his racing flats up about a thousand k QUANTITY in them?

Speaker 22461.82s - 2464.84s

Unconfirmed. What do you have on? Alpha flies? I don't know.

Speaker 72464.94s - 2466s

Who I reckon it was. I reckon it was.

Speaker 02466.12s - 2466.94s

I think it was Alpha 2, man.

Speaker 22466.94s - 2469.98s

He got the Alpha 2s before Burnley Half Marathon EVENT last time.

Speaker 72470.24s - 2471.46s

Last year in September.

Speaker 22471.6s - 2479.64s

He wore him for Burnley Half Marathon for the first time when he was second or third. So I don't think they would have had that many case in them. But yeah.

Speaker 72480.56s - 2482.32s

How much cash you win?

Speaker 22483s - 2487.42s

Uh, $2,500 after my drug test comes back clean.

Speaker 72488.64s - 2489.66s

Big cash.

Speaker 22489.84s - 2491.1s

But as you boys would know,

Speaker 72491.26s - 2492.98s

for small business owners

Speaker 22492.98s - 2497.28s

that do pay as you go for your tax, that's where that will be going straight to.

Speaker 72498.68s - 2500.16s

It's a quarterly...

Speaker 22500.16s - 2501.34s

It's a fucking sad life.

Speaker 72502.64s - 2504.7s

It's a quarter of a man's making so much money

Speaker 22504.7s - 2506.7s

with his tax bills high. And when you're working,

Speaker 72506.9s - 2508.7s

when you're on a part-time teacher wage.

Speaker 02509.02s - 2517.66s

No, I'm not making a hint of money. I just have a bill I have to pay because it's all pre-tax. You'd think you'd take Carly PERSON out for dinner. Sorry, Dahl PERSON.This is going on the tax bill.

Speaker 22517.88s - 2523.4s

Mate, we went to the Creswick ORG IG on the way home. That was good. Who's the IGA ORG?

Speaker 02523.96s - 2524.74s

The Creswick IGA ORG?

Speaker 22525.34s - 2527.54s

Good IGA ORG there. Well, for dinner.

Speaker 02527.66s - 2532.62s

Not for dinner, just to stock up. Just to get some snacks for the drive home croaks.

Speaker 22533.78s - 2546.24s

Then you pick up the kids. The kids are tired. They don't care that you've even ran a marathon and they're crying and, yeah, falling asleep at weird times and you finally crack a beer at about 7 p.m. And then that's it.

Speaker 52546.78s - 2551.06s

It's not the celebrations you think you're going to be having, but happy it's done.

Speaker 22551.24s - 2573.62s

Thank you, fellas. Let's talk about something different now. And I must thank you, Moose PERSON. On course support was brilliant. Some really positive things he said to me, Crokes PERSON. And, yeah, I obviously have a lot of respect for how you execute marathons and feel it was some invaluablepiece of advice. My favourite one, Crokes PERSON, was let your jaw drop. Anyone ever said that to you before? No.

Speaker 32574.22s - 2574.42s

No.

Speaker 02574.62s - 2575.24s

It works.

Speaker 22575.24s - 2577.22s

Did you let your jaw drop?

Speaker 32577.3s - 2582.06s

Yeah, like I said, I made that like my bitch when my jaw was dropping on that second lap,

Speaker 22582.06s - 2583.34s

for 500 meters.

Speaker 32583.64s - 2592.22s

They should rename it the Brady Trailful lap. Take M mona's PERSON name often it was good piece of advice yeah it was um it's

Speaker 22592.22s - 2597.9s

it's hard to know what you to say to someone out there in their marathon especially if they're

Speaker 32597.9s - 2603.78s

going poorly you were going well so it was easy just keep running mate you're doing well you

Speaker 22603.78s - 2605.1s

look and you looked amazing.

Speaker 72607.54s - 2629.82s

I had no idea of pace, but you looked really good. And you were positive as well. So it was, I mean, you're in the right zone. I did have some paces run past, like the official paces, absolutely carrying on to their group, doing these big, massive pep talks halfway through the race and I was likenot sure that's what I'd want to hear halfway through a race from someone I don't know.

Speaker 22630.62s - 2635.32s

Yeah, because you stopped at one stage to talk to skillsy PERSON. Yeah.

Speaker 52635.32s - 2639.52s

And then I was lonely for about 4 or 5K QUANTITY until you caught back up to me and I'm like, oh,

Speaker 22639.78s - 2643.26s

it was good to be solo for a bit but then I needed someone just to be like,

Speaker 52643.36s - 2644.7s

oh, you're still looking good, keep going.

Speaker 22645.68s - 2646.78s

So that was. yeah, I know.

Speaker 72646.94s - 2653.88s

He was, I haven't seen him in years. As soon as I stopped, I'm like, oh, here we go. He's going to tell me how good he's going, but he didn't.

Speaker 22654.18s - 2658.92s

And I was getting, I was getting mixed messages from like, so someone at one stage was like,

Speaker 72659.2s - 2660.82s

Tom's only a minute up the road.

Speaker 22660.94s - 2662.1s

He's gone to the toilet.

Speaker 72662.18s - 2664.52s

I'm just like, holy shit, Tom PERSON's gone.

Speaker 52664.52s - 2675.72s

And then the next person be like, he's a K up the road. And I'm like, toilet. I'm just like, holy shit, Tom PERSON's gone. And then the next person would be like, he's a K up the road. And I'm like, okay, like, that's not a minute. I had no idea where he was. But it was like three minutes in front of me. Yeah. He was never

Speaker 72675.72s - 2680.74s

in striking distance. Never. Like, we could never see him. No, never saw him. Two and a half minutes

Speaker 22680.74s - 2689.04s

in the end. So good to see Tommy DeCano PERSON win some cash as well. What have you always been doing? Crokes PERSON, you want to go next?

Speaker 02692.72s - 2932.88s

Yeah, so I've my biggest week since June last year. I kicked off with 10K on Monday, 424s, and then I went to the gym that afternoon. Then Tuesday morning, I jumped on the treadmill. First time I've actually been on the treadmill in quite a while. So I just did 35 minutes, five minute Ks on the treadmill. And then Tuesday afternoon went out to the track. A session was a good old sort of bread and butter eight by a K off a minute standing rest. Actually felt pretty good in this session. So splitslike 315, 316, 312, 312, 313, 311, 312, 3209 CARDINAL. Pace-wise felt really smooth and comfortable. Probably just noticed like lack of volume in my legs. So like it was just more, started to just become a bit of a grind. Although the pace felt comfortable, you know, that feeling where you're just like, I'm just lacking a little bit of strength here.But got through it. My calves, though, like, I don't know what is about the track. Maybe it's my age, but like, I never used to pull up as sore from the track as I do now. And it's like, like, these paces aren't,I get it, if I'm running like 3K pace, 1500 pace, even 5K pace on the track, like, you know, I'm probably going to pull up sore, but this felt really like pretty slow. And I still pulled up sore through the calves. Anyway, and then so, yeah, Wednesday, I got out in the afternoon. I don't think I ate enough during the day because I started to get like pretty dizzy towards the back end,but did 90 minutes at 414s CARDINAL. And then on Thursday, just 8.5K, 425s CARDINAL. Friday was session day DATE down at the lake, just a 30 minute tempo. I whacked the old Alpha Fly PRODUCT ones on because my body was still feeling a bit banged upin terms of like doms and I always feel like the alpha flow ones can uh I don't know just don't pull up as sore and they don't seem to load my calves up plus I find like probably run about five second TIME decay faster than any other shoe so um yeah did 30 minutes 321s uh which yeah it was probably working like a bit hard towards the. Like I did the same session three weeks before an average 326s PRODUCT. So a nice progression, but it was probably running a little bit harder than I was three weeks ago. But I still think fitnesses progressed.Went to the gym that afternoon. Saturday got out for, what I do? An hour, 421s. Jumped on the treadmill that afternoon for 30 minutes, so 6K, and then Sunday morning, because the weather's been cooling down. So actually Friday morning, the apparent temperature when we started the actual session at 7 o'clock was felt like minus 1.And so that sort of made the session, like in terms of the conditions were great. Like there's no wind whatsoever. But you know, when it gets sort of into the minuses, you just feel like you lock up a little bit. Like you just, I don't know, like don't feel like you're moving quite as well. You just start to stiffen up a bit.But yeah, because of weather's cooling down, I figure we don't have to start our long runs quite as early. So I messaged Zach Saturday afternoon, said, mate, I'm going to start at 8 o'clock. If you're interested, he's like, yep, I'll meet you there. Got to 8 o'clock.There's no Zach PERSON. I'm like, how long do I give him? Waited until 8.05 and still no Zach PERSON. But the problem was, because I was meeting him, I never took my earphones or my headphones. So I was meeting him, I never took like my earphones or my headphones.So I was just like, all right, well, it looks like I'm just solo for two hours and nothing in my ears, which was actually quite enjoyable. You know, the time went, went pretty quick. So I did two hours, four 11s, 28.7K, got back to the car. There's a message from Zach at about quarter past eight TIME. Yeah, may have slept in.Had he been on the beers the night before?

Speaker 22933.3s - 2936.92s

Yeah, I did see an Instagram story the afternoon before

Speaker 02936.92s - 2938.84s

that he was having a few drinks.

Speaker 22939.5s - 2942.8s

Now, Zach Moose, this is the one he murders every Sunday on his long runs

Speaker 02942.8s - 2944.38s

when they're running like 405 paste.

Speaker 22944.5s - 2945.5s

This is smart from Zach PERSON.

Speaker 02945.9s - 2946s

No, shit.

Speaker 22946s - 2947.44s

Train in the grid zone, Zach PERSON.

Speaker 02948.42s - 2949.7s

No, he's been murdering me.

Speaker 22949.86s - 2951.48s

He wasn't keen for a two-hour tempo.

Speaker 02952.96s - 2969.26s

Well, he reckons he wouldn't have been good for two hours that morning, based on how he felt. So anyway, that was my week. That was 130K with two gym sessions, two decent running sessions. So just need to keep it there for a few weeks.

Speaker 22970.12s - 2973.16s

Zach also ran Canberra marathon a couple weeks ago, didn't he?

Speaker 02973.46s - 2974.8s

Yeah, he did. He wasn't doing two hours.

Speaker 22974.96s - 2978.42s

He was only doing like 90 minutes. He's just letting his hair down post-marathon.

Speaker 02978.86s - 2979.74s

Yeah, that's all.

Speaker 22979.74s - 2982.7s

I like this. He was the one in the docker. Yeah, he was, yeah.

Speaker 02982.96s - 2985.96s

I still think it's worth a public name and shame, though.

Speaker 22986.32s - 2987.26s

Yeah, yeah, I agree.

Speaker 02988.1s - 2990.24s

I'd do the same of Argy, I reckon, over the years.

Speaker 22991.24s - 2996.66s

I'm not sure two weeks after the marathon, you coach him, right?

Speaker 02997.34s - 2999.12s

Three weeks after the marathon, isn't it?

Speaker 72999.56s - 3003.54s

Three weeks you take him out for two hours and beat the absolute shit out of him.

Speaker 03003.54s - 3005.18s

No, he was going to do 90 minutes. He smacked him up for two hours last week, though shit out of him. No, he was going to do 90 minutes.

Speaker 23006.24s - 3008.62s

He smacked him up for two hours last week, though, didn't you?

Speaker 73008.98s - 3010.22s

No, he did 80 minutes.

Speaker 23010.46s - 3011.22s

That was Jack PERSON.

Speaker 73011.64s - 3013.02s

Jack PERSON, Jack, yeah.

Speaker 03013.34s - 3014.94s

So, no, Zach did 80 minutes last week.

Speaker 23014.98s - 3018.68s

He was going to do 90, but we wouldn't have run this fast if he was there.

Speaker 03020.14s - 3021.78s

Zach PERSON just could be a very smart man.

Speaker 23022.74s - 3023.6s

Good work, though.

Speaker 03023.66s - 3024.3s

That's a good week.

Speaker 23024.48s - 3026.7s

You hear his big announcement last week, Moose PERSON,

Speaker 73026.94s - 3028.9s

Gold Coast Pacing Job into Melbourne Marathon EVENT.

Speaker 03029.28s - 3031.3s

Mate, some absolute carry on here.

Speaker 73031.7s - 3046.44s

You've got Brad Croker PERSON making announcements on his races, like a press conference. Well, it doesn't seem like you've got any races coming up. No, but I'm not going to announce them like you are, like everyone hold your breath.

Speaker 03046.84s - 3047.34s

You did.

Speaker 73047.4s - 3048.32s

You did a while back.

Speaker 03048.42s - 3059.12s

You're like, oh, boys, after a sucker, I've realized I'm going to race more. I'm going to do Great Ocean Road FAC. I'm going to get up to Ballarat GPE and help the boys. I'm going to just race a lot. I would love to race a lot.

Speaker 73060.66s - 3061.78s

That's not an announcement.

Speaker 03062.22s - 3063.9s

It's you like drum roll, please.

Speaker 73064.72s - 3067.76s

I want to know where your body's at.

Speaker 03068.16s - 3076.56s

This is literally the first time we've spoken since you left for Paris GPE. So I don't even know what's going on with you. Yeah.

Speaker 73076.68s - 3079.74s

I actually got a scan on my knee.

Speaker 03080.36s - 3082.08s

So that left knee didn't get any better

Speaker 73082.08s - 3099.68s

after taking a decent amount of time off. Like I maybe took a week off and just tested it once during it and it was no good. So I ended up getting a scan after I got back from Paris GPE. I ran 5K when I was away just on the run that Nike ORG had set up while I was there.

Speaker 63099.68s - 3100.28s

Scavenger Hunt?

Speaker 73101.18s - 3109.04s

No, no scavenger hunts, mate. I was out there with big dogs of the running world. So I was, I was, I ran with a bloke from the

Speaker 03109.04s - 3113.24s

city as mag podcast, actually. All right. You'd probably listen to that, do you?

Speaker 73113.92s - 3117.74s

Well, I know, what's, oh, who's Chris Chavez PERSON?

Speaker 03118.72s - 3119.4s

No, wasn't him.

Speaker 73119.8s - 3124.72s

He's the one I know. Also, what's his name? The 1500 meter runner?

Speaker 03125.24s - 3125.6s

Merva.

Speaker 73125.94s - 3127.34s

Yeah, he does a bit there as well.

Speaker 03127.52s - 3128.56s

No, wasn't him, either.

Speaker 73128.56s - 3128.76s

All right.

Speaker 03129.02s - 3131.68s

So, C, C grade, Sidious Mag ORG.

Speaker 23131.98s - 3134.08s

Is it something with Air Moose PRODUCT?

Speaker 73134.12s - 3134.6s

What's his name?

Speaker 23134.64s - 3135.8s

Is it Malley PERSON or something like that?

Speaker 73137.06s - 3137.34s

No.

Speaker 23137.52s - 3138.82s

Oh, you don't actually know his name.

Speaker 73139.24s - 3141.18s

No, he said he's from Sidious Mag ORG, though.

Speaker 23141.82s - 3142.34s

C grade.

Speaker 73143.1s - 3145.16s

Is this the one that Kip Chagy PERSON didn't rock up for?

Speaker 23145.48s - 3146.24s

Yeah, fucker.

Speaker 73146.66s - 3152.18s

So we had a few heads up that he might have been planning to come for a run,

Speaker 23152.28s - 3155.24s

like maybe give back to the company that pays him millions.

Speaker 73155.86s - 3181.8s

But, nah, got out on course 6am, apparently ran the marathon course or a fair bit of it. He wanted to see where the hills are at. At 6 a.m m TIME no one's even awake in paris made it's bloody sleepiest city i ever met nothing it goes on i went out for a walk one morning didn't see a soul like no one runs there in the mornings it's not a very good runningcity to be honest like maybe they can put a good marathon on but it's not like i couldn't find

Speaker 23181.8s - 3186.04s

anywhere good to jog anyway there's a park like three or 4K out of town, isn't there?

Speaker 73186.72s - 3187.82s

Oh, maybe.

Speaker 23187.82s - 3189.18s

I think so, yeah. Maybe, yeah.

Speaker 73189.36s - 3190.52s

It takes a bit to get there, though.

Speaker 23191.26s - 3196.36s

It sort of, it gives you, like, it makes Melbourne look bloody good as a running city, though.

Speaker 73197.04s - 3279.44s

Like, that's what I reckon. Being able to access places like the tan and Prince's Park FAC just so close and dirt tracks, that's big time. And even Studleyley Park being just a couple K QUANTITY out of the city very good but yeah my knee's no good so it feels it felt very similar to my right knee when it played up and I got a scan I got tons of findings from it probably the main the main thing that I think links up with my symptoms the most is advanced chondro-malacia Patala, which is like cartilage issues just under the kneecap,which is exactly where I'm feeling the pain. And so I also had, like, what do you call it, edema, a bit of bone edema as well. So that's just a sign that the bones are rubbing together, not enough cartilage to prevent the bones hitting each other. So, like, that's a time thing. I can rehab that a little in terms of rest and then I can also strengthen quads and glutes. And I've actually been really good on my right kneesince I had to flare up probably 18 months ago, 80 months.

Speaker 23280.4s - 3281.94s

Nearly two years ago now.

Speaker 73282.94s - 3372.78s

Yeah, it's the opposite knee. That's why I got the scan on it to make sure, like, there's no surgical intervention I can go down that road. And I think if it continues to play up, I'll consult a surgeon to see if there's anything they can do with the cartilage under there. But so far, so good. Like, I've done a few runs back this week. I've run, did some two-minute repeats one night.Then I did some three-minute repeats. Today I ran five by five minutes and I'm not feeling the knee at all. I'm horrendously unfit, which I don't care about at all. It's just shocking to me how how hard running is. Even in five minute intervals and I take a minute break at the end of the five minutes I am genuinely thankful that interval is up like that's the type of fitness I'm at and and my heart rate's not that high it's just I have absolutely no endurance whatsoever and I'm starting to get I get to the end of the five minutes I'm like oh thank God like I feel like feel like I need a rest now. So it's a long way back for me, but I feel like I've got the passion there to doit, certainly not all over, but it's just going to be a long way. It's going to be a long way back. And I'm watching the marathon on the weekend thinking, this is so far out of my ballpark for where I am right now. It's hard to fathom that I'd ever be back. I know I will be. I think like that all the time. It's just going to be a very long road back.

Speaker 03373.82s - 3390.3s

Moose PERSON, the knee stuff, do you put it down to, like, footy? Like, I know a lot of, like, guys that used to play footy that have a lot more knee issues than, say, like, myself, who, like, I'm a bit older than you, but I've never played, never played footy.

Speaker 53390.38s - 3393.08s

I played soccer until I was like 12, but, you know, it doesn't really count.

Speaker 03393.68s - 3397.26s

And my knees are like 100%. I think so.

Speaker 73397.26s - 3406.16s

And also, I've noticed surfing lately how much flexion and extension I go into on the board

Speaker 03406.16s - 3408.32s

because it's really limiting

Speaker 73408.32s - 3409.44s

my knees

Speaker 03409.44s - 3410.72s

and I'm thinking

Speaker 73410.72s - 3412.06s

oh gee I used to be able to do

Speaker 03412.06s - 3413.4s

all sorts of things on this board

Speaker 73413.4s - 3437.44s

and really crank and talk the knee joint but now I can't do that and I wonder if it was a lot of surfing when I was younger too I don't really knowI didn't play footy for that long like I started when I was younger too. I don't really know. I didn't play footy for that long. Like I started when I was maybe 13 and finished when I was maybe 22. So it wasn't like I was doing tons of footy. Yeah.

Speaker 03437.44s - 3453.4s

And does it mean like in terms of like the outlook, like it's unlikely that you could run, like, big mileage again? Is it the mileage that flares it up more than the intensity? I think it's the lack, it's me just getting super lazy in the gym.

Speaker 73454.32s - 3499.96s

Like, I just don't, like, I like, I like the gym, but it goes out the window as soon as I start running, like, twice a day, I start to neglect the gym. And it was almost, oh, it was almost like clockwork. The first time my knee went, I'd stop gym for maybe six weeks. And then this time, I hadn't done much gym for six weeks. And all of a sudden, the knee pain began again.And I look, sometimes I can just look down and go, your VMOs disappeared again. And as soon as I start seeing the quads waste away then I know I've got to get back to the the exercises that I do and and I'll I just got to be diligent give up a second give up those double runs for gym

Speaker 53499.96s - 3505.84s

sessions and I'll be able to run faster. So no,

Speaker 73506.84s - 3508.1s

yeah, just keep tracking.

Speaker 23508.36s - 3510.16s

Just keep reading your signs from your body.

Speaker 73511.38s - 3534.14s

Yeah, I'll build back and I'll build back with slow jogging and then I'll also, I've just got this desire to run. Like when running's taken away, you start to think, I don't, like the sessions are fun and all but i what i really miss is just going for a jog through the bush here for 30 to minutes to an hour TIME and just exercising

Speaker 03534.14s - 3540.7s

100% moose i don't i know exactly what you mean yeah sort of made the last few years it's like

Speaker 73540.7s - 3545.92s

racing i could like take it or leave it you know i don't get super up and about but like

Speaker 03545.92s - 3558.32s

just being able to get out the door and and run through mulligans every day like you know finishing that run that that's what makes me happy not so much the the racing or the race results yeah yeah and it's the

Speaker 73558.32s - 3606.68s

it's the first thing to the noticeable thing to go is is sanity. Like you're just, you're losing that time of day that you've always sort of carved out for yourself. Once that goes. And I mean, there's side benefits. Like, Breeze gets to run more now. Like, she's the priority.I spend more time with Pia PERSON. And that's great. Like, I honestly love that. And we get a bit more of a connection considering like we're spending more time together but you still need your own timelike you still need to go for your job or your surf or I found I was just walking the dog and that just doesn't quite do it for me it's probably like the last resort but yeah not quite what you're after.

Speaker 23607.46s - 3609.88s

Piers scream time going up a bit the last couple weeks.

Speaker 73611.8s - 3613.94s

She gets the alert.

Speaker 23613.98s - 3618.44s

Are you getting an alert on your phone on a Sunday? See how much you can send you up all down? Is that up your voice?

Speaker 73619.6s - 3623.48s

No. That's good from you. Yeah.

Speaker 23623.74s - 3626.54s

I know you're a big fan of child watching screens.

Speaker 73627.18s - 3631.24s

Oh, best invention ever. Don't kids love them, boys.

Speaker 23632.04s - 3634.16s

Like, imagine having screens when you were that age.

Speaker 73634.22s - 3646s

You'd be so much more advanced in the world than you were, like, than you were, like, having to read books. You can basically get the same education from one blippy than you can from reading 10 PRODUCT books.

Speaker 23646.36s - 3646.8s

Blippy.

Speaker 73649.38s - 3651.34s

Anyway, let's thank you some patron supporters.

Speaker 23651.52s - 3655.52s

We're 60 minutes in. We've got to get rolling on the second half of the show. Who are you thanking, Crokes PERSON?

Speaker 03655.96s - 3685.34s

I got Frankie Morgan PERSON. So Frankie was living in Sydney GPE, but I think she's recently relocated to North Queensland GPE, so maybe up somewhere around Rockhampton GPE. Has a best park run time of 2416 from the Ponds Park Run EVENT, ran 50 flat at the 2022 Sydney 10, 149 at the 2019 Central Coast Half Marathon EVENT,and 422 at last year's Chicago Marathon EVENT. So thanks for your support, Frankie, and I hope to move to Queensland GPE's gone smoothly.

Speaker 23685.86s - 3687.4s

Thanks, Frankie PERSON. Who you got, Moose PERSON?

Speaker 03687.94s - 3689.8s

I've got my old mate, Mike Spray PERSON.

Speaker 73690.34s - 3731.22s

So Mike is a bit of a legend, actually. He runs the running company in Launceston GPE. They were the second store. Or maybe they were the, actually, since 2011. Huh. Might be the, he was in the top three, I reckon reckon of stores that I've been, like in terms of age.So he's one of the youngest, but he's definitely not the youngest owner. He's actually the oldest by a fair bit old Mike. But he's set up real well down there. He's got a wife who's rich as owns a ton of properties. And she's younger than him, way more attractive than him. He's doing something right, Mike.

Speaker 13731.38s - 3732.02s

He's done well.

Speaker 73732.7s - 3780.22s

Yeah, he's done real well. He's very fun. I like it at conference. He always enjoys himself at conference, so it takes the edge off a little bit. He has got some PBs, though, so let's run through these. He's run 23.03 at Lonnie Park Run, 4826 at the 2013 run the bridge, 152 at the 2013Cabri Half, and yes, he ran Big Sur Marathon, 507 there. That's like at the Great Ocean Road type marathon, but over in California. there that's like at the Great Ocean Road type marathon EVENT but over in California and he may have run a Chicago marathon in 2006 running 412 but I reckon if you go back he might have playedhe might have played like field hockey perhaps for England GPE at one point

Speaker 53780.22s - 3782.38s

he was very high level hockey player

Speaker 73782.38s - 3799s

and big dog in the corporate world not so much now now he works He was very high-level hockey player and big dog in the corporate world. Not so much now. Now he works just in the running store, and I'm not sure he works too often either. Don't know. I'll have to confirm a few of these things when I see him next.

Speaker 23801.78s - 3803.08s

Mike's been thrown out of the bus there a couple of times, I think Crokes PERSON.

Speaker 73804.84s - 3808.22s

He'll agree with everything, I reckon. I'm going to thank Colin McCluskey PERSON from Scotland

Speaker 23808.22s - 3811s

not a lot on his Strava PRODUCT since October

Speaker 73811s - 3813.2s

so Colin PERSON I hope you haven't got an injury at the moment

Speaker 23813.2s - 3859.14s

maybe just gone dark on the Strava has a 5K PBF 1709 from the Edinburgh GPE park run he's also ran 3609 at the 2020 blast running 10k and 8140 at the 2022 Scottish Half Marathon and has a marathon PB of 255 from last year's Edinburgh Marathon EVENT. So a massive thank you, Colin, for your support of this Australian NORP podcast all the way overthere in Scotland GPE. Mike and Frankie PERSON appreciate your support as well. If you like what we're doing and Frankie PERSON, appreciate your support as well. If you like what we're doing the show, you can support us. Patreon.com forward slash inside running podcast.I think our next row two series kicks off next week. It's got to be close. Moose PERSON, have you got an announcement about who your guest is?

Speaker 13860.98s - 3861.18s

Who's the person you've drawn out and recruited?

Speaker 63861.88s - 3862.2s

Is that confirmed? Yes.

Speaker 13862.74s - 3864.1s

So, yeah, it's confirmed.

Speaker 73864.1s - 3864.64s

She's in.

Speaker 63864.86s - 3866.46s

Carla Trawick. So I reckon, it's confirmed. She's in. Carla Traweak PERSON.

Speaker 73866.96s - 3870.76s

So I reckon we've shouted her out maybe on the podcast before.

Speaker 63870.88s - 3871.54s

She was a patron.

Speaker 73872.44s - 3874.12s

Her husband will's a patron.

Speaker 13875.1s - 3877.22s

He's the one with a gambling addiction, isn't it?

Speaker 73878.02s - 3878.54s

Is that him?

Speaker 23878.54s - 3881.26s

He has like spreadsheets of every bed he's ever put on.

Speaker 73882.64s - 3883.36s

Could be.

Speaker 23883.52s - 3884.24s

Is that him or not?

Speaker 73885.14s - 3885.9s

No, that is him. It is him. Yeah. And so Carla PERSON, she's like put on? Could be. Is that here or not? No, that is him.

Speaker 23885.92s - 3886.8s

It is him. Yeah, that's him.

Speaker 73887.22s - 3899.98s

And so Carla PERSON, she's like a high flyer from the corporate world. I guess she's an accountant, partner in one of the big firms down in Ballarat GPE. So that would be good listening to hear what a life's like as a partner in an accounting firm.

Speaker 23900.6s - 3904.7s

Well, relatability actually has a job and has a challenge of fitting and training around it.

Speaker 73905.38s - 3974.84s

Yeah, yeah, she does. She ran Ballarat Marathon, a Ballarat half. I think she ran, oh, I'm going to say like 81 minutes, perhaps 82, you know, when Strava PRODUCT cuts a bit off. Like it rounds it up or down. Pretty good, though, pretty good. She'll be running the marathon there.She ran her first marathon at Sydney where it was a tough day for for everybody um so a tough day to run your first marathon so she's looking for a bit of marathon redemption reckon that the boys'll ask her her pb once she gets on there she got a time in mind moose oh i reckon the times to go under three and and she got quite fit last time for Sydney GPE, and it was a doable thing, but we got slammed with that weather.So faster at Gold Coast LOC, big three-hour pace pack, it should be looking good. She's pretty fit, and she's about to go into monk mode, she reckons.So she told me that as she was at the pub yesterday. She goes, after this afternoon, when I get Ratch get ratchet drunk i'm going to go into monk phone one 2135 yesterday moose on her strava what is it

Speaker 23974.84s - 3983.4s

121 35 bloody that's good hey i like this you know brady got a half marathoner got reese and then

Speaker 73983.4s - 3985.6s

a female marathoner as well i love this then a female marathloner as well.

Speaker 03985.78s - 3988.42s

I love this in her description of yesterday's race as well.

Speaker 23988.58s - 3990.68s

Started a bit fast for my current fitness.

Speaker 03990.98s - 3992.3s

Brackets, not like me.

Speaker 23992.84s - 3994.46s

Does she like banking time early moot?

Speaker 73995.54s - 3996.72s

Yeah, she comes from...

Speaker 23996.72s - 4002.6s

She's a bit of a fast-twitch type athlete.

Speaker 74003.26s - 4024.26s

So transitioning her to the marathon's been a long process, actually. But she can move quick. And she likes to do that in the first 30 seconds of a race, sometimes the first five minutes of a race. But we'll get that out of her. Who we got, Reese PERSON, also dumb.Probably not going to help out in that regard. Maybe Hopper PERSON can help.

Speaker 04024.94s - 4029.24s

Hopper PERSON's a man that does triple runs when they're not scheduled on the program.

Speaker 74029.96s - 4030.8s

This ain't looking good.

Speaker 24031.04s - 4032.24s

She has a dog called Pepper PRODUCT.

Speaker 04033.82s - 4034.14s

Oh, yeah?

Speaker 24034.62s - 4034.98s

Staffy.

Speaker 74035.54s - 4036.14s

Her staffy?

Speaker 24036.44s - 4037.28s

That's a staffy.

Speaker 74038.32s - 4040.44s

Yeah, she's really rich too, Carla PERSON.

Speaker 24041s - 4045.48s

Like, she's got this new house that they're renovating fully, putting a second story or

Speaker 74045.48s - 4047.62s

something on. Okay.

Speaker 24048.28s - 4052.56s

Yeah, it's nice in Ballarat GPE when you're the partner of an accounting firm.

Speaker 74052.86s - 4056.66s

Reese, Sam Hopper and Carla Chalek PERSON, is that it?

Speaker 24057.36s - 4058.1s

I said that correctly.

Speaker 74059.12s - 4059.52s

Treweck ORG?

Speaker 24059.64s - 4060.02s

Treweak ORG.

Speaker 74060.56s - 4061.62s

It's a funny name, isn't it?

Speaker 24061.62s - 4062.86s

You coach her as well, don't you?

Speaker 64063.28s - 4064.16s

You write a program, yeah.

Speaker 24064.8s - 4065.66s

So that's going to be

Speaker 64065.66s - 4071.32s

fascinating we are it might sound like moose has just pulled a random name out of the hat here but a lot

Speaker 24071.32s - 4102.6s

of time and effort goes into finding the correct people to put these panels together and we're very very confident we've got this correct and i'd like to think in the past we've got them pretty well from random names that you may not have ever heard of and then all of a sudden you know who rob wilson is and jimmy friend and know who Rob Wilson is and Jimmy Friend PERSON and who else, Patty Stowe PERSON and names like that. So, yeah, keep in all that, Patreon ORG supporters.As of next week, I think it'll be their first week. Nine weeks leading in, one week afterwards, 10 week series. Patreon supporters will also get the show early on a Monday night.

Speaker 04102.6s - 4151.76s

Speaker 24152.12s - 4156.3s

Running news. Do you want me there? Who's blue? That's you, Moose PERSON. Read the results here.

Speaker 74156.42s - 4184.96s

I can do Ballarat GPE, mate. I was there. Didn't see everything. Saw the marathon. Tom DeCano went through 6540, I reckon it was. About that um 6530 CARDINAL maybe but he didn't finish that off he ran 2704 so got a bit lonely out there for Tommy he can get some gut trouble you were second 21940 but look tom took home six grand right yeah we got the big novelty checks six grand

Speaker 24184.96s - 4185.3s

and he won two and a half at that 5k the week before yeah no it's just six grand, right? Yeah, we've got the big novelty checks. Six grand.

Speaker 74188.3s - 4189.16s

And he won two and a half at that 5K the week before.

Speaker 64189.74s - 4190.22s

Yeah, no.

Speaker 74191.14s - 4191.34s

You know what?

Speaker 24191.74s - 4192.54s

Good week.

Speaker 64196.14s - 4197.04s

Makes his coach Gary Howard PERSON fly down on his own, off his own back.

Speaker 74199.48s - 4199.58s

I reckon he's got to fix him up there.

Speaker 24200.7s - 4201.1s

I told him that the other day.

Speaker 14204.7s - 4205.72s

So Calam Drake was third, 222.49 CARDINAL.

Speaker 74206.62s - 4214s

So he's come through. Gee, I had Nathan Stokepeg for third. I was telling people he finished third. I didn't think he'd fallen back through the field like that.

Speaker 24215.18s - 4215.84s

He was fifth in the end, yeah.

Speaker 74216.22s - 4216.76s

Right.

Speaker 24217.18s - 4219.64s

In the ladies. He both got him in the home straight, I think, like pretty close to the end.

Speaker 74220.26s - 4244.4s

Gee, rough. Alan McCartney, she won the race two hours 40, 55 TIME. Solid time down there. Jess Willis was second in 248-38 CARDINAL. Oh, close finish here. Kelly Angel was third, 248, 47.Or nine seconds finishing second and third. You'd be seeing them like only a few steps up in front of you on that hill.

Speaker 54245.8s - 4248.3s

Not the time you really want to be sprinting,

Speaker 74248.36s - 4338.78s

although you look pretty good sprinting up that hill. Half Reese Edwards, he ran 6527. So he actually only, he only beat Archie Reed by 14 seconds in the end. It was pretty close there. They were running together as a pack with Tom PERSON. And actually Tom PERSON looked easily the most comfortable.It was pretty impressive stuff. Kieran Perkins, he's come down from Queensland GPE. He's come third running off on a massive pack that they had in that third place pack. He ran 6638. So they really kicked it down at the end. Tara Palm PERSON,she won the women, 72-48. She is beaten Gemma PERSON. Both of those ladies backing up from Osaka GPE. She's run 75-08 and Ella Higgins PERSON,7551 CARDINAL. There was 10Ks too, boys. Jacob Cox, 2952. Tim Broxop, 32, 39. Josh Hawkes, 33, 35. Women, Melissa Duncan, 3416.Elizabeth Winter, 3504, and Michelle Edwards, 3650. Now, the 5K and the mile mile they were on on Saturday night. They're pretty cool little closed course for this one. Pretty hilly. Dale Carroll won the men's 1436 beat Craig Huffer PERSON. Gee, still kicking around Craig Huffer PERSON.

Speaker 54339.16s - 4341.2s

I didn't realize he's back in the country.

Speaker 04342.52s - 4343.74s

I thought it's still ever in the US GPE.

Speaker 74344.72s - 4346.7s

He was back for a while, right? Yeah, and then I thought he went back over. Oh, I don't realize he's back in the country. I thought he was still ever in the US GPE. He was back for a while, right?

Speaker 54347.24s - 4348.9s

Yeah, and then I thought he went back over.

Speaker 74349.2s - 4350.22s

Oh, I don't know, yeah.

Speaker 04351.02s - 4355.78s

I thought at one point he was training with the very nice track club, yeah.

Speaker 64356.26s - 4357.72s

Ah, perhaps, yeah.

Speaker 74358.3s - 4359.28s

I know the outcome.

Speaker 64361.44s - 4361.8s

Ewan PERSON?

Speaker 04362.46s - 4363.36s

Ian PERSON, Ian?

Speaker 64364.46s - 4365.4s

Come on, boys, help me out here. Not the guy to ask about names. Ewan? Ian PERSON? Ian? Come on, boys.

Speaker 04365.5s - 4366.12s

Help me out here.

Speaker 64366.44s - 4368.04s

Not the guy to ask about names.

Speaker 04369.34s - 4369.7s

Ewan PERSON?

Speaker 74370.16s - 4371.56s

E-O-I-N.

Speaker 24372.28s - 4373.28s

It's Irish NORP, isn't it?

Speaker 74373.7s - 4374.28s

Is it Irish NORP?

Speaker 24375.44s - 4376.9s

That's not a name.

Speaker 74378.26s - 4379.32s

Well, it clearly is.

Speaker 24379.36s - 4380.3s

It's this guy's name.

Speaker 74380.9s - 4383.34s

I reckon that's just a spelling mistake off the results.

Speaker 24383.34s - 4384.78s

I think croaks a stitch trap here.

Speaker 74386.64s - 4390.64s

Ian PERSON, Ian Smith PERSON, 1458.

Speaker 24391.12s - 4392.44s

There's smite there,

Speaker 74392.48s - 4464.04s

actually, Moose PERSON. Smyth PERSON's got an E on the end, surely. Smyth PERSON, you've messed that up. Zoe Buckman PERSON,big night for her. She got heaps of cash. She won the mile TIME and the 5K. She won the 5K in 1621. Olga Fosovo was second 1634, Isabel Hume 1658. And in the mile, kind of exciting running this mile, really.The men's was more exciting, it was much closer. Paul Robinson won in 412. The finish was like a 400 meters QUANTITY uphill full gas. And we're talking a pretty good uphill. And these guys were lactic as like swimming in lactic the last 200 meters. It flattened out a bit towards the end,but there was not a lot of ground clearance with their legs. Will Lewis 2nd, 413, and Avanda Scott 415, Jolongfeller GPE. Zoe Buckman PERSON, she won the women's, of course. I said that, 449. Big gap.Olga Vosova again second in 459, and Anna Kasapis, five minutes. So that's Ballarat GPE.

Speaker 64464.04s - 4468.62s

Put it on your radar and enter next year.

Speaker 24468.66s - 4469.86s

I'm sure they'll have early birds.

Speaker 74470.04s - 4473.12s

They do that, and that's the way you've got to do it these days. You've got to get in early.

Speaker 24474.44s - 4503.66s

Destination race. Kifu Half EVENT happened as well. We had Brett Robinson over there and Jen Gregson PERSON. Brett was 11th in 6342 CARDINAL. The race was won in 61.26 from Hillary Kipkowich PERSON, and Jen was fourth in 71.39, and that was won by Stalach sang in 67.59 CARDINAL. So not the fast,or didn't Chenade run like a 68 minute there last year? I was about to say not the fastest course,

Speaker 04503.76s - 4506.74s

but Chenades ORG ran quick there. Yeah, I think it was pretty hot.

Speaker 24507.08s - 4512.38s

I think it was like, yeah, well into the 20s, 20 degrees. Okay.

Speaker 04512.5s - 4514.16s

Just getting warm, I guess, for a half.

Speaker 24514.44s - 4554.12s

Yep. So two of the big dog Australian NORP names there in action. Hamburg also happened. The story here for Australia was that Andy Buchanan PERSON, he went out trying to run that 20810 CARDINAL pace, went through halfway in 63.49 CARDINAL, so it was on track. He did fade a bit towards the end,but still managed to run a massive PB, I think like 92nd PB, where he ran 208-58, and it moves him to the seventh fastest time of all time over the marathon. So good PB from Andy PERSON, but we'll just miss the qualifying time. I'm not sure if he slides into that rankings croaks, but Liam PERSON would still be ahead of him anyway.

Speaker 04554.78s - 4556.02s

Yeah, I think Liam PERSON...

Speaker 24556.02s - 4556.88s

The road to Paris GPE?

Speaker 04557.26s - 4580.26s

Yeah, so they take the average of your best two marathons in the period, and where Liam's at an advantage is he ran 208 39 CARDINAL at the gold coast which gives him good like points from a performance point of view because it was the oceana champs and he won that he got a bonus 70 points which is which is huge um you know like i don't know

Speaker 24580.26s - 4587.26s

what 70 points a 204 equivalent i got told today exactly. So it makes it really hard then for Andy PERSON.

Speaker 04587.38s - 4591.24s

Because Andy's two best are the Hamburg run.

Speaker 24591.54s - 4593.92s

It's 210 last year and this year's too high.

Speaker 04594.58s - 4599.46s

Yeah, so I'd say that Liam's still ahead of Andy PERSON on those ranking points.

Speaker 24600.14s - 4607.9s

Yeah, I'm just trying to load it now. A big PB though from Andy Moose PERSON. You would have been happy to see this come across. It's progressed well on the marathon.

Speaker 04608.62s - 4614.66s

It's, I still feel like he is one of the up-and-comers,

Speaker 74614.94s - 4674.98s

but he's been established for a while now. So it's real, like I never give him, in making predictions, I never give him the credit he deserves. And even with this one i did not think that he would run this fast i'm like he's coming back from a hip it's still andy from bendigo uh i just don't think he can run anywhere near what what he wants to or what other people were sayingthat he was going to go for and he's come out and fully proved me wrong. And he's put himself up there now on a massive pedestal, I guess, of like stepping away from the reputation that he may have had as like an AV cross-country champion, but not so much someone who's running sub-210 marathons. And maybe it is because he supports the local scene so much that he gets a little bit undervalued and even by me.But yeah.

Speaker 04675.34s - 4676.74s

Boy next door kind of vibes.

Speaker 24677.06s - 4678.1s

Yeah. Exactly.

Speaker 04678.32s - 4691.04s

Just your local runner. I'm with you, Moose PERSON. Like I didn't think he would run this fast, particularly not when I saw his first two, five K splits. It was literally three minute K. So it's like, what's that, 206, 40 pace.

Speaker 24691.16s - 4694.02s

He was just hanging on the back of a group, though. I saw some video today.

Speaker 04694.52s - 4697.18s

But still, like, yeah, like, it's not with the pace.

Speaker 24697.18s - 4706.72s

But you still have to, you still have to run that. And I thought to myself, he's on, like, he's well under the Australian NORP record pace at the moment. And I thought, oh, this is real brave. And to his credit, like, yeah, he's on like he's well under the Australian NORP record pace at the moment and I thought oh this is

Speaker 04706.72s - 4741.2s

real brave and to his credit like yeah he faded a little bit in the last 10k but there was no real massive blowups I think he's 5k split from 35 to 40k was maybe 1540 um which is still very very respectable given how quick he went out so um, yeah, he's definitely, you know, probably won't make, yeah, like the Olympics this year, but give him another four years, and I reckon he stays in one piece,he'll be probably on the next Olympic EVENT team. Ryan, Greg PERSON.

Speaker 24741.36s - 4742.26s

Oh, sorry, you go, miss.

Speaker 74742.26s - 4745.66s

You know what can happen is, oh, sorry, you go, mostly. You know, you know what, what can happen is like,

Speaker 04746.86s - 4751.02s

Liam Adams gets that spot in the top 80,

Speaker 74751.42s - 4752.54s

or the rankings,

Speaker 04752.9s - 4753.8s

on rankings.

Speaker 74754.22s - 4762.4s

That just, that spot opens up for Australia GPE. They can pick whoever they like for that spot, I believe.

Speaker 24762.58s - 4763.58s

I was wondering this.

Speaker 74763.74s - 4769.24s

But does Andy still have to be in the 80 to be considered? No, no, I don't think so.

Speaker 24769.82s - 4772.02s

I think he only has to have run 2.11.30 CARDINAL.

Speaker 74772.52s - 4774.32s

I believe so, yeah.

Speaker 24774.96s - 4780s

But there's no way, though, that they can pick Andy over Liam PERSON,

Speaker 04780.38s - 4784.6s

given Liam's actually run faster than Andy in the period at the Gold Coast LOC.

Speaker 74785.34s - 4785.68s

I know.

Speaker 04785.98s - 4787.46s

I don't think they should either.

Speaker 74787.46s - 4795.52s

But I'm just saying I believe that can happen because it's the way that the US GPE trials thing happens.

Speaker 04796.32s - 4800.16s

You know, they're open spots up.

Speaker 74801.46s - 4807.12s

The craziest thing is that one athlete out there who does all the work to run that time,

Speaker 04808.28s - 4813.48s

they still have to run the trials to get into the team,

Speaker 74813.8s - 4817.56s

even though they're the ones that have unlocked the spot for the country,

Speaker 04817.88s - 4819.96s

and then someone else can just go in and claim it.

Speaker 74820.56s - 4820.68s

Yeah.

Speaker 04821s - 4824.9s

There's also, you know, unfortunately, marathons one of those events

Speaker 74824.9s - 4826.8s

where injuries happen in the lead-up.

Speaker 04826.92s - 4835.34s

And so both for the men's and the women's Aussie teams, it's like, yeah, the selectors will probably pick the top three fastest,

Speaker 74835.82s - 4840.68s

but one of those three might get injured, which means that then the next person is in line,

Speaker 04840.84s - 4842.08s

which, you know, it would be the same sort of thing.

Speaker 74842.08s - 4846.42s

If Brett, Pat or Liam PERSON gets injured, then Andy's sort of next in line, which, you know, it'd be the same sort of thing. If Brett, Pat or Liam gets injured,

Speaker 04846.92s - 4852.44s

then Andy PERSON's sort of next in line. So because they've got,

Speaker 24852.78s - 4862.84s

so Liam PERSON's in with the ranking points, but it's still, if they've got the time, that still unlocks a spot for Australia, Moose PERSON. Oh, look. So can you, now I'm second guessing,

Speaker 74863.02s - 4865.34s

I'm guessing myself a little bit here.

Speaker 24865.54s - 4872.38s

The point I'm trying to make, could Andy take Liam's spot and or Brett and Pat PERSON's, or is it just Liam PERSON's because he's with ranking points?

Speaker 64873.7s - 4875.82s

If one of them was to get injured, hypothetically.

Speaker 24877.18s - 4881.02s

Yeah, I believe, oh, yeah, don't quote me on that one, actually.

Speaker 74881.52s - 4884.18s

You've, yeah, I've got in over my head.

Speaker 24884.52s - 4891.06s

Liam's 73rd of 80 qualification closes this sunday so he'd be starting to get pretty

Speaker 04891.06s - 4903.56s

confident i reckon i'm not sure this has been updated though because like andy's still oh okay yeah they're down to like 93rd here and i thought andy would have been in in like

Speaker 24903.56s - 4907.14s

yeah like andy should be in the rankings here somewhere,

Speaker 54907.26s - 4910.88s

given what he ran last night, combined with his 210 from last year,

Speaker 04910.92s - 4914s

but he's not there. So it might be a few days for this to update.

Speaker 24914.5s - 4948.32s

Refresh that midweek. Ryan Gregson PERSON was in action. He ran at 2.18 53 after a 6617 first half marathon. So I guess a bit of disappointment there for Ryan and Ali Moose PERSON. She was 11th in 229-58 CARDINAL, which was the same position. Andy was actually 11th.She went through half in 7254. I know there was a whole lot of listeners tracking her. I was not. I was relying on Crokes PERSON' updates, but what can you tell us as a coach?

Speaker 74950s - 5086.3s

Oh, disappointing day for Allie PERSON. She just didn't have it. She didn't have it. Like, she felt tired early. She went out off from the start and ran just maybe a K or so with the pacer that was going through in 223.30 CARDINAL pace and it felt too fast for her. So she made the decision to drop back and she ran with the next group which were running like 326 to 3.30 pace and that group had I think they were going for the olympic NORP qualifier which is226 something and that had natasha wodak in it the canadian girl and i think alie was comfortable staying at that pace but it just got she just said she just started feeling like it just got too hard she just dropped off the group, couldn't keep up. And then she managed to finish, obviously, and she still run under 230. I know that's nothing she's happy with, but look, we're in a different age now where you're looking at a 229 from a female runner. Like when she ran under 230 for the first time or when she ran 231, I think she wasstill in like the top 15 all time or something. And so it's the game's just changed. And she was upset anyway. She's disappointed. She needs a little bit of a refresh. She needs to move bit of a refresh.She needs to move on from this Olympic EVENT qualifying campaign, I reckon. And maybe we just start fresh with some new goals, different approach. I'll sit down with her when she gets back and we'll work out maybe what we did wrong. Because I don't really know, I don't really, like, I don't really, really know. I don't think you'll ever really know what you did wrong. Like, you're only just guessing, but at least if we put our heads together and I can hear her thoughts on what she would like to do different next time. And then we can come up with a plan for the future. I know not the outcome you guys were hoping for,

Speaker 25086.4s - 5096.56s

but it would be a bit of relief as well for her that's probably all over. Like, it's probably something she's thought about every day for the last year and a half. And then it's like it's done there.

Speaker 75096.86s - 5135.2s

It's out of your head. I think she did feel a little bit like that, like little weights lifted off her shoulders. She doesn't have to think about it every time she wakes up. It doesn't have to, I mean, she said that it maybe didn't stress her that much, but I can imagine that every conversation that's happening in running nowis about the women's marathon team. And she was on the last one. She was in the Olympics EVENT last. She's essentially lost her spot. Not that no one's ever promised the spot, but that was her spot that she sort of dropped out of. And I, she, yeah,

Speaker 65135.5s - 5141.68s

with that Valencia race, she got injured for, she got injured back in, I'm going to say November,

Speaker 75142.84s - 5145.04s

November or October.

Speaker 65145.82s - 5154.1s

And ever since then, it's felt like that there's always been a slight press or a slight rush to get fit.

Speaker 75154.66s - 5158.16s

And it's always, it's just been about this thing the whole time.

Speaker 65158.58s - 5161.38s

And I reckon, yeah, we just got to take away that a little.

Speaker 75162.96s - 5179.48s

And, yeah, I don't know. We just got to take away those sort of massive over-bearing-type goals, just get back to running and having fun with it again. Yeah, I agree, Moose PERSON.

Speaker 05179.48s - 5193.14s

Because you look at early last year where she came out, you know, not long after giving birth and qualified for World Cross EVENT when probably wasn't expected to in a way and then progressed

Speaker 15193.14s - 5198.04s

her fitness, you know, a lot between the trial and then World Cross EVENT and had an amazing run

Speaker 05198.04s - 5205.36s

there. But it's like there was absolutely no pressure on her at that time in her running and really no expectation and she ran

Speaker 75205.36s - 5236.3s

like super well as a result yeah i know that i just keep thinking back to to that and going wow how how good was that run and and like even some of her sessions have gone really well like really she really fit but it just hasn't come come together and i think that part of it could be part of it could be what's going on upstairs and how we're framing everything, maybe just a little bit, placing too much importance on the, the times that we have to run rather than just making sure the race goes well.

Speaker 25238.12s - 5254.4s

It'd be nothing like being on the other side of the world as well. There's only one place you'd want to be. They'd be at home with her husband and baby. I've done that long home, that long flight home solo and I could definitely have empathy for what you'd be doing now. It feels like forever to get home.

Speaker 75255.44s - 5262.76s

I think they're a little, I think they're a little dusty this morning, at 26 hour TIME flight home. I know what it feels like and it doesn't feel good.

Speaker 15263.12s - 5264.14s

A lot of self-pity.

Speaker 75264.78s - 5266.82s

It's a long way.

Speaker 15267.04s - 5269.68s

Back in the economy too. Oh yeah.

Speaker 75269.78s - 5276.08s

If you've got to be doing, just get to work on the run strong business. You've got 20 hours of bookwork ahead of you.

Speaker 25277.5s - 5331.16s

Let's move on to Adidas ORG had an event. It was the Adi Zero Road to Records in Germany GPE. I've seen this the last couple of years. The one record they got was World 800-meter silver medalist, Emmanuel Wagnone PERSON. He broke the Road World Record for the mile.He ran 354.5 CARDINAL. These records have only been relevant in the last couple of years because Hobbes Kessler PERSON from the US set it last year at the World Road Running Championships when he ran 356.1 CARDINAL. So some good PR. They all wear the same kits. They go around a bit of a circuit. I personally didn't tune in, but I know a lot of peoplethat did. So that was a big news coming out of that Adidas event. And then Crokes PERSON, the last bit of news I think we've maybe got here. bit more as well Shanghai Diamond League yeah so the Diamond League ORG was on

Speaker 05331.16s - 5366.7s

Saturday night our time so I watched a little bit of it before I went to bed and then watched the rest Sunday morning before my long run unfortunately the women's 5k it wasn't a Diamond League ORG event so it wasn't actually televised I was just getting sort of the the live splits um the race was won by mackettys al-machetti's al-machetti uh in 1436 a al dagnatue PERSON was second in 1436 as well and let's and bet giday was third in 1437 so it's probably a little bit of an upset there that um giday didn't get the win because it was probably favorite going in.

Speaker 25366.9s - 5370.14s

Can't win a race. She doesn't win races. I've been saying this for years.

Speaker 05371.14s - 5427.74s

It was a massive kickdown as well. I don't think she got the greatest kick. Like I reckon they closed in like low, very low 60 seconds. But from an Aussie NORP point of view, Rose Davies ran 1447 to finish 11th in the race, but that's the third fastest time ever by an Aussie behind Jess Hull and Benita Willis PERSON. But more importantly, the Olympic qualification standard is 1452 CARDINAL. So now she's pretty much guaranteed running the 5K at the Olympics EVENT,doesn't need to rely on ranking points anymore. Other Aussies in action, Lauren Ryan PERSON, she ran 1458 to finish 13th. Izzy Bat Doyle ran 1506 to finish 16th, and Morty Skyring ran a PB 1512 to finish 17th. Impressive from Rose Boys ORG,but probably not unexpected given her brutal kick at Nationals a few weeks earlier.

Speaker 25428.3s - 5431.5s

Yeah, so good to see. She can just relax now too. Yeah.

Speaker 05431.64s - 5432.18s

She's got it.

Speaker 25432.3s - 5432.5s

Yeah.

Speaker 75433.24s - 5440.8s

And a quick little shout out to Scott Westcott, who had probably one of the best coaching weekends

Speaker 05440.8s - 5446.38s

of anybody ever, he's put Andy Buchanan, I assume that he's still coached by Scott PERSON.

Speaker 75446.56s - 5447.1s

Yeah, correct.

Speaker 05447.34s - 5447.52s

Yep.

Speaker 75448.18s - 5450.72s

Yeah, he's got him the seventh fastest all time,

Speaker 15450.9s - 5453.24s

and then he's gone and got Rose Davies PERSON.

Speaker 75454.52s - 5457.46s

What's she run, what's that all time? Third, third all time.

Speaker 55458.04s - 5461.44s

So very, like, these guys,

Speaker 75461.74s - 5471.42s

part of Melbourne track club, but have their own coaches. I think they do a bit of group stuff when they're together. But, geez, amazing sort of weekend for Scott Westcott PERSON.

Speaker 05471.98s - 5543.26s

Yeah, very good. The men's 5K, Beraga, he got the win in 1255. It was a bit of a weird race. The pacing was set up for like 1245, which the commentators were sort of surprised that they wanted the pacing to be that quick this early on in the season. And they were on that pace, you know, sort of halfway through.And then once the paces pulled out, they really slowed it down. So, yeah, Bray got the win 1255. Binium Mahari, who's 17 years old, he got second in 1256, and Benson Kiplingat was third in 1258. Ozies NORP, I'd say probably a little bit disappointing again. Morgan McDonald, he ran 1318 to finish 7th,and Jack Rainer was 19th in 1319, and Matt Ramsden PERSON didn't start the race. So I'm not sure whether he got injured between the two diamond leagues or whether he was sick. But, you know, every time I see the 5 PRODUCTK at these sort of major meets now, I'm always expecting one of the Aussies to run a sub 1305 to book that automatic qualifier.Do you agree?

Speaker 25544.1s - 5547.42s

Yeah, I've expected to see it and hit those two plus Kai Robinson PERSON.

Speaker 05547.82s - 5550.16s

And you kind of expect Stewie and he nearly got it last week.

Speaker 25550.96s - 5553.4s

But yeah, because you run out of opportunities, don't you?

Speaker 05553.9s - 5556.14s

Well, they are running out of tight. Well, they got till the end of June.

Speaker 25556.3s - 5559.6s

So, you know, eight weeks, eight weeks, I suppose.

Speaker 15559.76s - 5569.3s

And there will be a lot, you know, there'll be a lot of races on between now and then because it is an Olympic year and they know that the stand, they've only got till the end of June. But I just

Speaker 05569.3s - 5613.1s

would have thought that these guys would be getting closer to that 13.05 than where they are at the moment. Steeple, Beatrice, Chipcoich got the win again, 907. Karafin Ryan PERSON was the only Aussie in action. She finished 11th in 931, which was a slight improvement from the week before. And not a diamond league result, but Ollie Haw ran the mile over at Penn Relays FAC. He finished second behind Yarad Naguze running 351.28 CARDINAL. Now, you can qualify for the Olympics by running a mile time, but he missed that by 0.88 of a second TIME.So close but I have no doubt that Oli will get that Olympic standard in the next race or two.

Speaker 25614.5s - 5620.54s

How far was he behind in the goose? Not much. Oh, they gave him a run for his money.

Speaker 05621.14s - 5622.08s

They were on the line.

Speaker 25622.44s - 5626.68s

Yeah, Yarrid was 351 low so like less than 0.28 of a second TIME.

Speaker 05626.8s - 5627.9s

Yeah, so it was thereabouts.

Speaker 25628.6s - 5628.78s

Yeah.

Speaker 05629.82s - 5630.58s

Very good.

Speaker 25630.86s - 5632.58s

Listen to question, crooks. Got a few.

Speaker 05632.58s - 5632.62s

Yeah.

Speaker 25632.62s - 5638.18s

Do you want to continue the trend

Speaker 05638.18s - 5639.3s

from last week's one?

Speaker 25639.5s - 5647.86s

Just that what should people do trend? What did you agree with me last week, Moose PERSON? Stewie for the 5K, more success than the 1500 opportunities at the Olympics EVENT?

Speaker 75648.8s - 5653.08s

Yeah, look, I don't know. I'm kind of coming to Crokes PERSON on this one.

Speaker 25653.56s - 5654.8s

Just because he's better at arguing.

Speaker 75655.4s - 5666.5s

Yeah, I did listen to it and I thought, you know, I reckon he's got me here. A bit like Leanne, although she didn't say a name, but I was like, yeah, Crokes PERSON, you won me, you won me.

Speaker 05666.58s - 5698.64s

It is a tough one. Like, Stewie PERSON at his best is going to be competitive, but I just think, you know, he finished 10th in the 5K to Diamond League, and it's very rare that he finishes that low in a 1500, and the 1500s are always pretty stacked at the Diamond Leagues ORG. No, I've already agreed with you, mate. You don't have to convince me.All right, well, we'll go to the top one then. Just chatting about Jack PERSON, is it time for Jack to go back to the marathon? Well, he's not gone off for this Olympic EVENT campaign.

Speaker 25699.1s - 5704.56s

He hasn't got enough time. It has to be racing this weekend if he wanted to try and run 208-10 CARDINAL.

Speaker 35710.78s - 5717.42s

Hasn't it like his body just broken down every time he's tried to go back to the marathon yeah but i spoke to him what after he ran that national record for the 10k

Speaker 05717.42s - 5722.94s

and i i sort of addressed the marathon with him and and i also addressed the fact that he'd been

Speaker 35722.94s - 5725.76s

running more mileage this time than

Speaker 05725.76s - 5730.5s

he did like last year or the year before and he hasn't broken down and he reckons that he's

Speaker 25730.5s - 5735.66s

been like looking after himself better and eating more. So maybe that's the reason why he was

Speaker 05735.66s - 5741.9s

breaking down. Yeah. This is a tough one though. Like we're talking about a guy who's pretty

Speaker 55741.9s - 5750.42s

close to break in 27 minutes for 10K which one one argument is like, well, why would you move up when you're still like pretty competitive

Speaker 05750.42s - 5773.88s

in the 10K? But then you look at all of these guys like Brett, Pat Tannen, Andy PERSON, those guys are nowhere near Jack PERSON over 10K. And if he can put some like marathon strength behind what he's got over 10k then he's he's clearly got a got a really fast marathon in him he's a beast on the roads too

Speaker 25773.88s - 5785.36s

very hard to beat in like a 10k half marathon road race especially domestically maybe money entices him back to the roads and marathon.

Speaker 75786.24s - 5786.64s

What do you think of Moose PERSON?

Speaker 25791.14s - 5791.42s

Well, he's had a, he's obviously committed to this track season DATE.

Speaker 75798.42s - 5869.92s

And he's, I mean, he ran that very good 10 PRODUCTK and we probably thought, okay, well, maybe we got this wrong. Maybe he is the track guy. The road is where the careers are made, aren't they, in marathoning? Like, there's a lot more money, like you said. There's a lot more glory as well. Like, he can go around pretty much winning every marathon and road race in Australia GPE.He obviously won't do that, but he could, and he could probably pick up 50 grand along the way, just winning all the races. I think the glory is still in the marathon. There's still this sort of novelty that, not a novelty, but an aura around the marathon where it's what everyone looks at. It's what we're talking about. Like, how long did we spend talking about marathons tonight versus the Diamond League race?Like Rose Davies ran 1447 and we spent two minutes on it. But then we talk about Andy PERSON's marathon. We talk about your marathon. And we just talk about marathons. Like it's just the, it's kind of, we treat it like the pinnacle of our sport. I reckon there's like a romantic thing.And I reckon Jack PERSON would be into that. I feel like that's where people want to run like that's what I see anyway

Speaker 25869.92s - 5874.44s

It's also relatable to the people who do sports as well

Speaker 75874.44s - 5884.56s

like there's a bigger audience there and brands like that I'm sure they do especially with the like the running boom that's going on right now like it's probably more commercial

Speaker 05884.56s - 5886.3s

yeah and he did show a lot of potential when he was running the marathon like the running boom that's going on right now. Like it's probably more commercial.

Speaker 75886.74s - 5887.02s

Yeah.

Speaker 05889.6s - 5916.52s

And he did show a lot of potential when he was running the marathon because I think at the time, like his debut was, he only just missed Jeff Hunt's PERSON debut record. And I remember in London, he wasn't that far behind Brett PERSON. And like Brett PERSON had obviously run a few marathons by that stage. And Jack was pretty new to it. And you look at how, you know, Brett PERSON's marathon careers progressed since then, and there's no reason Jack PERSON can't do that or even run fasterthan Brett, given what Jack PERSON's been able to do on the track.

Speaker 55917.92s - 5924.86s

Yeah, we haven't seen, we haven't seen Jack Rainer PERSON in the marathon at his peak.

Speaker 05925s - 5925.6s

That's for sure.

Speaker 75926.28s - 5926.5s

No.

Speaker 25928.32s - 5930.88s

Do you want to do the one about Chenade Proving Fitness ORG?

Speaker 75932.76s - 5934.96s

Yeah, we know that one as well.

Speaker 25935.02s - 5938.78s

Because I guess, yeah, the marathon team is going to be announced very soon, isn't it?

Speaker 75938.88s - 5939.94s

So the question here is.

Speaker 25940.32s - 5942.7s

We did this on Patreon a couple weeks ago, like, who you're picking?

Speaker 05942.86s - 5943.68s

Give us your top three.

Speaker 25944.24s - 5946s

And there were some people that wrote in saying like,

Speaker 05946.68s - 5951.4s

just left Chenate PERSON off saying we just can't put her in because we just haven't seen a result

Speaker 25951.4s - 5956.54s

from her for so long. Yeah, so question is, should Chenade PERSON have to prove fitness before

Speaker 05956.54s - 5961.68s

AA announces the Olympic marathon team? And I guess for some context here is, I think Brady,

Speaker 25961.68s - 5965.54s

you looked up her race results since she because when she

Speaker 05965.54s - 5969.42s

qualified for the Olympics like it was pretty much in the first week of the qualification

Speaker 35969.42s - 5977.32s

period opening so when was that December so started December 2020 it's December 8th that day

Speaker 05977.32s - 5982.74s

yeah and so what does she run of note since then I think you looked it up it wasn't a lot was

Speaker 25982.74s - 5989s

a spot a bit here she ran Sydney GPE marathon She also won, I'm going to say,

Speaker 05989.18s - 5990.14s

Bernie 10K.

Speaker 25991.36s - 5993.46s

These are all 2023 results.

Speaker 05993.58s - 5995.76s

I'm just loading her profile up now as well.

Speaker 25995.88s - 5998.44s

There's no official result from 2024

Speaker 05998.44s - 6003.32s

on her profile. However, she did pace Nagoya Marathon EVENT.

Speaker 26004.96s - 6013.52s

And then her other result in 2003 was Maragami 5th of Feb, which was 6929 CARDINAL.

Speaker 06014.64s - 6019.28s

Okay, so that was just over a year ago. So she's ran a half a 10K and a marathon

Speaker 26019.28s - 6025.1s

on her profile since she set the time at the end of December 2020 DATE.

Speaker 06029.28s - 6030.18s

3248, 6929 and 231.27 CARDINAL.

Speaker 26033.1s - 6038.06s

Of course, we're talking Sydney GPE, hot, weather, hilly. Times pretty much irrelevant, Moose PERSON, you were there.

Speaker 76042.58s - 6043.7s

Yeah, yeah, that was, that wasn't a fitness show, that one.

Speaker 16044.96s - 6045.04s

She won't an Australian NORP title, though.. She won't a straight to title there.

Speaker 76045.44s - 6054.8s

She walked up. She has to prove fitness. Like, it'll be in the criteria. It'll also, like, it's probably, it's only just, it's only fair that she has to show fitness.

Speaker 56055.26s - 6064.5s

And she ran her qualifying time so, so long ago that, like, there's so much can happen within that time that we need to see Shannade PERSON.

Speaker 76065.04s - 6069.44s

We need to see something from her before the team's selected, I think.

Speaker 56069.92s - 6076.1s

Or she gets selected and has to provide some sort of fitness check

Speaker 76076.1s - 6080.62s

between the selection and the race early enough where if it doesn't,

Speaker 06080.62s - 6086.66s

if everything's, say she has a bone stress injury or something that someone else can still prepare for it.

Speaker 76087.12s - 6091.92s

I think the reason why I sort of agree with that moose is just when you look at how

Speaker 06091.92s - 6114.22s

congested our like top five girls are, whereas like, you know, if you had Chenade PERSON is the, and it's very hard to leave the Australian NORP record holder out, especially if she is like, you know, in decent shape. But it would be different if you had her. And then our third runner was maybe had just, just coming underneath the Olympic EVENT standard.

Speaker 16114.7s - 6120.26s

But when you consider you've got Jen at, like, 223 low,

Speaker 06120.7s - 6150.68s

Lisa 223, 15. You've got Jess 223 high, Izzy Bat Doyle, 223, 15. You've got Jess 223 high, Izzy Bat Doyle, 223 mid. You're all of these girls that, you know, are more than capable. Yeah, it's not like we've got somebody,we've got two girls at 222, 223, and then one at 226. Like, so I think, yeah, she should have to prove some sort of fitness. Whether that's a race, whether it's something, like would they accept prove some sort of fitness. Whether that's a race, whether it's something, like,would they accept like some sort of training session to prove fitness?

Speaker 26151.78s - 6157.44s

Well, what about the pacing job? What'd she pace to 23 group, wasn't it, Nagoya PERSON?

Speaker 76157.96s - 6171.58s

7-1. Yeah, I mean, it could be. There's nothing that says that it couldn't be a proof of fitness. It's still her out there running. You know, it doesn't really need to be a race result, does it? She goes and does

Speaker 26171.58s - 6176.92s

split quicker than what Jen ran for her half on the weekend. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. That's,

Speaker 76176.92s - 6181.7s

that is proving fitness, really. I did say she put up one long run from a couple of weeks ago and

Speaker 26181.7s - 6191.64s

it was quite hilly and quite fast. So that proves a bit of fitness i guess it was like four minute four minute ks for 30 plus k QUANTITY with i don't know

Speaker 06191.64s - 6196.76s

300 meters of elevation i think it was yeah it's a solid flex when you see a strava upload

Speaker 76196.76s - 6203.78s

from chnade GPE it's a solid yeah some solid numbers there see what happens this time we won't get the

Speaker 26203.78s - 6205.04s

team until all the appeals

Speaker 76205.04s - 6210.24s

have been heard though, will we? Like they won't say here's our three next week and then

Speaker 06210.24s - 6216.44s

they'll go now we open up appeals or do they let the people know and then open it up to

Speaker 26216.44s - 6224.02s

appeals before they make it public? I'm not sure. She put a run up yesterday actually. Yeah,

Speaker 06224.02s - 6226.86s

she did, yeah. Yeah, 30K 403s.

Speaker 56227.36s - 6229.84s

Maybe this is, maybe this is her campaign begun.

Speaker 26232.16s - 6234.4s

Everyone's got a bit of a campaign going on out there.

Speaker 36236s - 6237.62s

Yeah, so do you reckon those?

Speaker 26237.62s - 6239.22s

Social media this week could be fun.

Speaker 06239.3s - 6239.88s

You reckon, Moose PERSON.

Speaker 76240.24s - 6241.04s

Just keep an eye out.

Speaker 06241.34s - 6242.48s

Spoil out all the accounts.

Speaker 76242.94s - 6245.64s

So obviously the girls that are in contention for the three spots,

Speaker 06245.74s - 6251.6s

you got Chen, you got Lisa, you've got Izzy and you've got Jess PERSON.

Speaker 26252.16s - 6254.54s

Now, the ABC ORG article?

Speaker 06254.78s - 6256s

Athletics Australia shared it today.

Speaker 76256.54s - 6257.44s

No, I didn't read it.

Speaker 26257.48s - 6261.7s

But the two that miss out, do you think they will both appeal?

Speaker 06262.98s - 6263.36s

Yes.

Speaker 76263.36s - 6266.46s

Or the girls will just accept the selector's decision.

Speaker 26266.9s - 6268.02s

I think they all appeal.

Speaker 76269.66s - 6274.4s

Maybe not Al-Weese, because she's, her time's a bit off the other two.

Speaker 06275.84s - 6277.94s

It would be hard to pick Al-A-Weese PERSON.

Speaker 26278.14s - 6280.66s

What do you got to lose if you're appeal, if you're Izzy or Jess PERSON?

Speaker 06281.36s - 6282.92s

Or if you're Jen or Lisa PERSON.

Speaker 26283.22s - 6283.84s

How much of the cost?

Speaker 76284.34s - 6285.76s

There's probably a cost involved.

Speaker 26286.32s - 6287.9s

And a lot of the time the appeals,

Speaker 76288.44s - 6290.68s

you have like representation, don't you?

Speaker 26291.4s - 6292.68s

Like you have legal representation?

Speaker 76292.96s - 6293.32s

Oh, okay.

Speaker 26293.54s - 6302.72s

I don't know these kind of things. It used to be good if we can get a whisper next week, though. If anyone's listening who has some kind of like source on the inside, it could be a great whisper of the week. Who's appealing?

Speaker 76304.26s - 6309.62s

There'd be a few where their case is already written, I reckon. Like prepared.

Speaker 06309.92s - 6318.9s

Well, I actually should. We should just message, you know, and ask her whether the selectors have, you know, told her whether she needs to prove fitness or not.

Speaker 26320s - 6321.92s

It would be in the criteria, though, wouldn't it, or not?

Speaker 06323.12s - 6323.88s

I don't know.

Speaker 76323.88s - 6325.32s

Yeah, we're really again.

Speaker 26325.82s - 6327.08s

You still have a chat.

Speaker 76327.2s - 6328.6s

There's still a chat about it.

Speaker 26329.08s - 6331.98s

It's not open dialogue before the team selected, though, is it?

Speaker 76333.02s - 6337.06s

Can she talk to the selectors beforehand and just say, like, hey, am I good or do you need something from me?

Speaker 26337.88s - 6339.56s

Yeah, I don't know how it works.

Speaker 06339.56s - 6348.08s

But, like, clearly she's running pretty well. Like, you know, you're not banging 4 minute K, 30K runs.

Speaker 26348.54s - 6360.82s

Yeah, the fact that she hasn't shown fitness, hasn't raced, probably so she's confident. Because she could just went around for Ballarat GPE on the weekend and won the half in 68 minutes, 69. Yeah.

Speaker 06362.42s - 6362.9s

Yeah.

Speaker 26363.44s - 6364.06s

Watch this space.

Speaker 06364.12s - 6372.46s

It's going to be a very interesting Well it's going to be interesting Couple of months But you know From the marathon perspective Interesting next monthIt will be

Speaker 26372.46s - 6377.46s

No whispers across my desk boys But have you too got any Or have you got a moose on the loose moose

Speaker 76377.46s - 6392.86s

Oh yeah I got a couple Got a couple So I've just got a little list of them I'm going to run through all right And we don't We can get into it if we want.Australian runners that have American NORP accents. Oh, yeah, this is a good one.

Speaker 06393.06s - 6394.76s

I reckon you've already said that before.

Speaker 76395.1s - 6423.72s

I've said it before, but now it's getting to me even worse. Terrible stuff. Like, it's not that hard to keep your Australian NORP accent. Surely you're speaking to Australians through your time in the US GPE. Don't like it.Ned Brockman being the most famous runner that Australia GPE has right now. This comes from being on a trip with non-runners, and everyone just wants to talk about Ned Brockman PERSON. And then even within brands talking, oh, it does my...

Speaker 06423.72s - 6425.12s

Was that Paris GPE trip moves? It was a bit there, but then it was that Paris trip moose

Speaker 76425.12s - 6438.62s

it was a bit there but then it was also like met a brand the other day and all they wanted to talk about was how good ned brockman was and he was like such a famous runner and I'm like oh my god this is he does not represent runningin Australia

Speaker 56438.62s - 6441.04s

run club

Speaker 76441.04s - 6476.4s

pre-run speeches now yeah this is gold. If you want to have, if you want to cringe yourself to death, go and watch some of these run, these new run crews that have popped up and watch some of the people before the run give these big motivational chats to go run 3K around the block and then have four coffees.Oh, it's so gross. Like, it's, like, that's not what running easy and jogging is about. It's not some kind of fucking war chant. You're not going to battle to go on your jog around the block. And then-

Speaker 06476.4s - 6483.1s

Rond to me like Park Footy Moose ORG, boys in the huddle, just giving it, you know, full rev-up. See, I like that.

Speaker 76483.32s - 6485.66s

I can get around that, but not on my jog.

Speaker 06485.76s - 6488.14s

Not going out for a jog at 5 a.m. in the morning.

Speaker 76488.7s - 6492.12s

Like, if I'm running in and I need to hurt myself and hurt other people,

Speaker 06492.34s - 6493.48s

I can take care of that.

Speaker 76493.48s - 6514.14s

But, or even if I'm going to have a race, like rev me up a bit for a race. But we're jogging around the corner. And these flogs have done nothing. Like, they are, like, surely no one looks up to them. The only time pre-race stuff works or pre-pump-ups work is when you respect the person giving it.It doesn't work when something random does it.

Speaker 56516.22s - 6520.16s

I've just got this other one, all the pitches, all the pitches.

Speaker 76520.36s - 6523.06s

I don't know what that means. All the pitches.

Speaker 26523.32s - 6528.34s

Be careful with that one. I've been about pitches at Falls Creek FAC before and got some backlash. Oh, I don't know what that means. All the pitches. Be careful with that one. I've been about pitches at Falls Creek before and got some backlash.

Speaker 76529.28s - 6541.96s

Oh, I don't think it was that. I don't think it was that. I just don't know what that was. Maybe it was just like the, yeah, I don't know what that was. I've lost that one. It's not about that.

Speaker 26541.98s - 6545.36s

You've come prepared. This isn't a note section on your phone.

Speaker 76545.36s - 6553.94s

I thought you got carried away on that one. Yeah, I just wrote them down over the course of it. And then I got this other thing in here, Brady musling me. All right.

Speaker 26554.18s - 6556.1s

Crokes, what's going up between now next week DATE for you?

Speaker 06557.68s - 6583.56s

Back to work tomorrow, back on the chalk. And then I think we're, yeah, so a lot of the guys that I coach and girls are looking to maybe run Sydney GPE 10. So we're going to have a bit of a tune up on Friday afternoon. We're going to head out to the AIS track because it'd be pretty quiet on a Friday afternoon and just roll a 5 PRODUCTK around there. So I'm going to jump in and do a bit of pacing and hopefully, I know, run like 16 minutes for 5K.

Speaker 26584.12s - 6587.2s

Oh, that's your fastest 5 PRODUCTK in a while. Yeah, it would be.

Speaker 06587.56s - 6588.46s

Yep. Very good.

Speaker 26588.62s - 6596.12s

Bruce, what are you got coming up between now and next week? Um, yeah, not a ton.

Speaker 76596.9s - 6604.52s

Just doing my thing. I bought a new surfboard, so I'm going to go test that out tomorrow morning. Okay, purchase of the week.

Speaker 16605.56s - 6606.62s

That and the renovations?

Speaker 76607.42s - 6608.58s

Oh, the renovations.

Speaker 16609.18s - 6612.84s

Foh, living in a building site.

Speaker 76612.94s - 6621.96s

Hard. I should have moved out, really. Someone should have told me, you've got to move out. You're going to hate it here. And I really should have done that. Yeah.

Speaker 26622.18s - 6624.38s

Got a book accommodation for Gold Coast LOC, though.

Speaker 76624.94s - 6629.34s

You got Lula Lemon PERSON. They're putting us in those tents up on the top of the hotel?

Speaker 26631.28s - 6645.54s

Change of leadership there. The person I communicate with, that was the plan, but then another person's gone into that role since I, since I've had the conversation with the other person. So I've got to check what's going on there, actually. Might do that tomorrow because it's going to come around quick. It's going to be a good live show.

Speaker 06646.04s - 6647.26s

Are you book your flights?

Speaker 26648.16s - 6668.26s

No, I haven't yet, but I should get on to that. Zach was talking about today, though, some of the live show details. So it's going to be big up there at the Gold Coast LOC. More information to come. But, yeah, looking forward to doing that again. Getting to see a lot of people and then a few beers afterwards.Should be good? You're going to race up there, Moose PERSON? Do you reckon you'll be right in nine weeks? Nine weeks?

Speaker 76668.6s - 6678.38s

I might be able to jump into something definitely won't be fit for it but it's always nice to do something up there I think Bree PERSON wants to do the half so that's on a Saturday.

Speaker 26678.82s - 6681.9s

You're taking power? Yeah, I reckon, yeah.

Speaker 76683.16s - 6683.7s

Okay.

Speaker 06684s - 6688.16s

What are your plans now, Brady, like a couple weeks down?

Speaker 26688.18s - 6688.92s

A couple weeks down.

Speaker 06689.42s - 6691.34s

Then start doing some case.

Speaker 26691.42s - 6712.92s

Might run the half at Gold Coast LOC, I reckon. Be good to try and run a PB out there, 65 something, be nice. Yeah, a bit of A-V-E stuff. Get myself fit in the lead up to that. Very good. We're done.Keep your eye out for an interview on the weekend. Going back through the catalogue. How good was that video of Dixon that Zaka put on Instagram ORG? Yeah.

Speaker 06713.18s - 6713.98s

That was a good video.

Speaker 26714.06s - 6714.98s

I like that.

Speaker 06715.54s - 6719.74s

I haven't listened to the Dixon PERSON interview since it was first recorded,

Speaker 26719.86s - 6721.72s

but every time I think about the Dixon PERSON interview,

Speaker 06721.72s - 6727.08s

it just brings a smile to my face thinking about when he's just calling himself, oh, Dixon PERSON, Dixon.

Speaker 26727.64s - 6728.82s

So many good stories.

Speaker 06729.28s - 6730.64s

People loving that over the weekend.

Speaker 26731.42s - 6732.78s

All right, that episode's done, fellas.
