    Spiked Up - #30

    Episode 30 of Spiked Up is an exciting one because Rose & Sarah announce their first live show! Listen to hear all about it. Getting into the serious stuff, Rose takes us through another solid week including a long run turned race which proved she’s in good shape. Sarah’s calf was happy this week and she got the all clear to ramp things up! Coincidentally, the girls had the same TWSHSGSGA submission this week which means it must be a good one!

    For The Kudos - #119

    Episode 19 kicks off with Brett & Joel informing the listeners about "The Blue Line" migrating to Patreon. The two then give a race preview of this weekend's Burnie 10 before going through their training weeks. After recovering from the NMMF Half, Joel visits Dave McNeill for help with his calf and begins hill specific training, while Brett spends the weekend in Canberra, also training over hills (though not intentionally). The episode closes out with the official death of the Tim Vincent joke (sorry Tim you had a good stint) which leads to a good rant on people stopping their watch early in races.
