    Brett & Fraser - #04 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 Commonwealth Games are underway and we already have 4 medals! Rose Davies and Ky Robinson take out both of the 10000m and if Brett and Fraser are correct it's only the start of Australia's medal run. 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. The team soft launch Brett's next marathon (surely you could have guessed this by now...it's a few days away) while Tess banks a solid week, and Joel is forced to push his long run back a day. The team answer a question on marathon fatigue in "The Big Q" and there's plenty of entertaining chat in our closing segments.

    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.

    For The Kudos - #203

    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.

    Brett's Gold Coast Half Marathon Recap - #202

    Enjoy one of the longest standalone episodes of FTK ever! The episode begins with the team recapping the usual highlight results from our Australian pro's, before announcing our latest Patreon-only series. Brett recaps his 4th place half mara result in GC, while Tess lays down a solid week of training as Brett continues to build her mileage. Joel continues to get fitter too, as he announces another race (torture) planned for later in the year. The episode closes out with our usual Big Q, Give Some Kudos and TWHSOITWTWATSA segments.

    For The Kudos - #201

    The episode kicks off with a typical off-topic discussion, this time about plant health and smuggling pocket knives through airport security. The team then unpack the two new Australian records everyone's talking about, before going over last week's training. The Brunswick studio (Tess' place) must have another gas leak as the team forget all about "The Big Q". There was no chance they could forget about "Give Some Kudos" this week with all three of them giving it to Cam Myers and Sarah Billings. The episode closes out with two stupid and one more serious "TWHSOITWTWATSA" submissions.

    Brett's Launceston Half Marathon Recap - #197

    Brett takes the listeners through his recent Launceston Half Marathon race where he finished second behind Haftu Strintszos. We hear exactly how the race panned out in Tassie, an event which saw some incredibly fast performances across all the races. Tess & Joel put in some good training and we answer "Friend Of The Show" Joe's question on how to approach a 10km race two weeks before a goal half marathon race.

    Moore Jacked #02 with Jack Rayner & Matilda Moore (Patreon-only special series)

    Recorded earlier last month. Catch all episodes of Moore Jacked plus all our other bonus content on our Patreon channel: Jack & Matilda are back for another relaxing and enjoyable conversation that covers both running & mindfulness. The episode begins with host Joel reading out a couple of questions for the two stars of the show. Jack & Matilda both run through their training weeks, although the difference in how they share their training is just as different as the training itself. As always there are many side-quest conversations and the episode closes out with "Purchase or Discovery Of The Week"!

    For The Kudos - #196

    Brett, Joel and Tess brave a thunderstorm in the Brunswick studio to bring you episode #196. The team debriefs the stellar results from our Australian professionals racing across the globe before jumping into training weeks. The crew put together strong training weeks and discuss (not scientifically) how Sauna hats are supposed to work. FTK "Friend Of The Show" Sean Gambier-Ross writes in with a question regarding key marathon workouts than can be used to predict race-day performance. Give Some Kudos sees three non-running-related (at least not directly) submissions, while TWHSOITWTWATSA brings it back to the realm of running.

    For The Kudos - #195

    The team were full of laughs this week (even more than usual) to bring you episode 195. We hear a miracle story from The Great Ocean Road Marathon as well as a less-miraculous tale from Tess that involves mixing up the taps in her San Francisco office. A strong training week from Brett, Tess runs everyday while in USA and Joel heads out for his first long run in many moons. The BIG Q submission this week has Brett, Joel & Tess attempt to solve how best to plan your training week when away on holiday. Give Some Kudos has plenty of love being spread around and TWHSOITWTWATSA includes one of the greatest ever on-air FTK blunders.

    Brett and Joel are left to their own devices this week with Tess in the USA for work. The pair chat through Brett's birthday weekend before recapping the highlights of the weekend's AthsVic 5k at Albert Park to kick off the XCR season. Brett has an easier Tuesday before joining Jack for a marathon workout on Friday, and sneakily uses the Big Q segment to fire off some questions towards Joel about where he's at with his running. They return to the trails for Give Some Kudos and Brett arrives at TWHSOITWTWATSA with an absolute smorgasboard.

    With Tess back with us permanently she's implemented a new rule: no more detailed episode descriptions that give too much away! You'll just have to listen to hear everything that happens in the EP :) Brett is back at full mileage as Ballarat fatigue sets in later in the week for him. Tess shares the importance of rest days following goal races which allows the body to absorb the race effort. FTK "Friend Of The Show" Chris Barclay submits "THE BIG Q" this week around gym loading and whether or not you should be seeing improvements week after week. In "Give Some Kudos" Tess shouts out a sport close to her heart, Brett hypes up a worm-dance submission from a listener and Joel sends his kudos to a recent music project from a close friend. The episode closes out with three solid "TWHSOITWTWATSA" submissions.

    FTK addressing the recent events + Brett & Tess' Ballarat Half Marathon Recaps - #192

    To our FTK community, thank you for sticking with us this past week. It’s been the toughest period we’ve faced since starting in 2022, and we don’t take your support lightly. In our recent apology episode, we said we’d make real changes, not just talk about them. This week is the first step. We’re genuinely proud to welcome Tess Marks as a permanent host alongside Brett and Joel. Tess brings a perspective and energy that will make the show better, and that matters right now more than ever. At the start of this episode, we address everything that’s unfolded. We’re not brushing it past or softening it, we’re owning it. What was said on our network was hurtful, and it didn’t reflect the kind of platform we want FTK to be. Brett, Joel and Tess talk through it openly, and more importantly, we outline the changes we’re making to ensure we do better. That includes a clear commitment to better represent and support women in the sport we all love. We know FTK has a voice in the running community, and with that comes responsibility. This past week has been a hard lesson, but it’s one we’re taking seriously, and using to improve. The rest of the episode gets back to what we love: racing, community, and the sport itself. Brett and Tess recap their half marathon efforts from the weekend, and we roll into Give Some Kudos and TWHSOITWTWATSA. We’re still here, we’re learning, and we’re committed to being better.

    Our apology

    Our mission with FTK is to create an entertaining, informative and supportive space for all runners. We are incredibly disappointed in ourselves to appear as the exact opposite of this recently. We've let down the women in our sport and we are truly sorry. This is an opportunity as men to check our privilege and do better. We didn’t live up to our standards. We have recorded a mini-episode to address this in more depth. We hope you can hear us out and whether you stick with us or not, we’ll right our wrongs.
