    For The Kudos - #219

    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_/

    Lucy Bartholomew - Runner in Residence #1 PREVIEW

    To Listen to the whole episode and many more Patreon only episodes, sign up to our Patreon at the link below. 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!

    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.
