For The Kudos - #214

Simone Brick joins Brett, Joel & Tess in the Brunswick studio to break FTK's longest ever recording. This mammoth episode will be split in two parts with Part Two dropping next week! After a lengthy relaxed chat between the four of them Simone kicks our "Training Weeks" segment off with a detailed recap of one of her largest mileage weeks while preparing for Harry's King Of The Hill. Brett, Joel & Tess lay down solid training week's but Simone outshines them all. For this episode our "Big Q" segment is swapped out for a detailed race recap of Simone's performance at King Of The Hill. This just may be the most interesting race recap we've ever heard on FTK.

An absolute mammoth episode for you recorded at the Hawthorn studio. Things kick off with a lengthy recap of Joel's experience at Harry's King Of The Hill which saw Piotr Babis claim yet another win just ahead of Pyry Liukkonen in a new course record (and a total elevation world record while he was at it). Joel returns to workouts, Brett lays down a huge week involving double threshold and a hard long run at Warburton Rail Trail while Tess completes two solid workouts and finishes her week with a chill long run in Ocean Grove. At the time of recording with Tess & Brett, Joel didn't know if an interview with his mum would be possible but thankfully he was able to record that 24 hours after the main recording. Mary-Catherine Tobin takes the listeners through her training struggles and detailed race recap which saw her complete her debut marathon in New York over the weekend. Post interview you'll hear Brett, Joel & Tess take you through the remaining FTK segments :) SIGN UP TO OUR PATREON TODAY: www.patreon.com/forthekudos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forthekudos Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forthekudos TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@forthekudos Brett: https://www.instagram.com/brett_robinson23 Joel: https://www.instagram.com/joeltobinblack Tess: https://www.instagram.com/tesssicaa_/

SIGN UP TO OUR PATREON TODAY: www.patreon.com/forthekudos Welcome to our newest Patreon series! These ‘Runner in Residence’ series will follow along an athlete for a period of time and opens us up to athletes regardless of whether they have a key race or not. Our first athlete who we’ll be following along for the next month or so at least is one of Australia’s top trail runners in Lucy Bartholomew. Lucy is a professional trail runner for Salomon and has been so for over ten years and trying to describe all her race results over that time is impossible in a few short sentences (hence why it'll be great to have her for a series!). Enjoy this first episode unpacking Lucy’s year so far, including her three road marathons, and what training she is planning for her upcoming races. We’re very excited and lucky to have Lucy on board!
