    Willy Songok of The Kenyan Experience - #211

    Tess & Brett resume regular FTK programming in Joel's absence. Instead of the "Big Q" this week, Joel sits down with Willy Songok - Head of Guest Relations at "The Kenyan Experience" (which is run from the High Altitude Training Centre in Iten, Kenya). During his time in Iten, Joel had many interesting interactions with Willy and this lead to Joel asking if he'd be willing to join FTK for an informal chat. You'll hear all about "The Kenyan Experience" as well as Willy's personal story, which when paired with his incredibly dry sense of humour and deep knowledge of running, makes him the perfect leader for the program.

The episode wraps up with the usual favourites - Give Some Kudos and TWSOITWTWATSA. Thanks for all the support as always, listeners. Hope you enjoy this one!

    For The Kudos - #209

    This episode is brought to you by Better Beer: Brett, Joel & Tess record over zoom this week with Joel calling in from "The Home Of Champions" - Iten, Kenya. The episode begins with the team recapping recent race highlights as well as the usual sharing of what they've been up to since they last recorded. As for "Training Weeks", Brett & Tess hold up the segment themselves while Joel substitutes running for travel-related-tales. Due to time zone differences and commitments Joel bails from the episode, leaving Brett & Tess to close out the episode without him.

SIGN UP TO OUR PATREON TODAY: www.patreon.com/forthekudos The three athletes recount their last big week of training before starting to taper down the effort and volume. Hear what a taper means to them, what their thoughts on the course are and whether they’ve studied it and also what they will be focusing on in race week. If you see Caitlin, Tim or Fraser out on course be sure to cheer their names or give them the Joel treatment of just yelling ‘FTK’. Either works.

He takes the listeners through the successful parts of the Wonderfalls 50, opens up about what went wrong, and everything else that happened during his 4h40min performance .

    For The Kudos - #207

    With a change in recording schedule this week Tess was unable to join Brett & Joel for the episode. Brett & Joel realise quickly that without Tess, anarchy unfolds in the Hawthorn studio. That said, Brett & Joel try their best to take the listeners through each of FTK's segments without diverting the topic of conversation too much. The crew will be back next week to recap Joel's trail run!

Joel and Tess take the listeners through their training week's before Brett closes out the segment with an in depth race recap of his Sunshine Coast Marathon win over the weekend.

Sunshine Coast is this weekend but with no official entry lists, the preview was a bit of a struggle.

    Tess' Lakeside:10 Race Recap - #205

    Brett, Joel & Tess record from seperate studios this week. The team debrief Harbour 10 and Lakeside 10 before reflecting on their old World Champs Special series from a few years back.

There is a bit of shoe chat plus general training chit chat (Seb Coe and Derek Clayton get a mention) and two prominent South Australian sporting heroes make an appearance at training on Friday for Caitlin and Fraser. 5 weeks to go.

    For The Kudos - #204

    The team recap all the key results from the recent London Diamond League, spending a large majority of the chat on Josh Kerr's Mile World Record. Brett lays down a solid week of marathon training in the lead up to Sunny Coast while Tess (and her 400 training partners) bank a couple of solid workouts. "The Big Q" sees the team share their most overrated/underrated pieces of running advice and the episode closes out with the usual two segments.

    Brett, Joel & Tess are back in the Brunswick Studio (Tess' crib) to record episode #203. Hopefully the audio is little louder after some technical issues (we'll have the popping/clipping fixed for next week). In this episode there's plenty of running chat, a strange amount of weather talk and an unexpected lengthy chat about the TDF. You'll hear how long the team think they can run without stopping in this week's BIG Q segment, and Mike Wazowski gets a feature in TWHSOITWTWATSA.
