TRAINING WEEKS

Brett takes the listeners through his race week training in the lead up to Saturday night's 3000m second place finish in Hobart. We hear about his race tactics and what he would have done differently. Joel takes us through his training week which involved his Pulse 5000m pacing gig. What started out strong dwindled in the back half as he prioritised his favourite sport.

THE BIG Q

"Friend Of The Show" Vincent Tulley has a question around pacing and how to improve on it. Brett & Joel talk through ways runners can become better at pacing in training, which in turn helps for better pacing in races.

Brett has a hilarious submission in "The Moon's Marketing Team" while Joel sends his to his well-deserving girlfriend Chelsea.

TWHSOITWTWATSA

Both Brett and Joel opt for race submissions this week - Brett with a clash between two college teammates, while Joel highlights the serious error from the lead bicycle/media car/race motorbike in the USATF Women's Half Marathon over the weekend.

TRAINING WEEKS

Kicking off the week Brett takes us through his Tuesday workout prior to his Box Hill Burn 5000m win. While the race recap was on last week's episode, Brett & Joel chatted through his mindset moving forward to this Saturday night's 3000m in Hobart. Joel went to the well in his first Tuesday workout with the PTC crew and fit in a Saturday night threshold as he rushes training before his Pulse 5000m gig (which you've all been waiting on the edge of your seats to hear about).

THE BIG Q

"Friend Of The Show" Scott T writes in with a question on pushing too hard in long runs. Brett & Joel discuss the problems associated with this which leads to a discussion on non-elite runners being influenced to overtrain by social media.

GIVE SOME KUDOS

Brett & Joel send their Kudos to all the people that ran, spectated and volunteered at last night's Pulse 5000m.

TWHSOITWTWATSA

After overcommitting with three submissions last week Brett arrives at the segment with the same submission as Joel. Who puts fireworks/firecrackers at the start line of a race?
