CRU Relay Revenge of the Woylies

This is very silly episode, soz legends. But maaaybe it'll give u a vague idea of what its like to do a 85k trail relay race. Its wet, serene, turbo, fun, painful, rewarding, grouse.  It was PTS collie river ultra relay. Our team is called the Walyalup Woylies. It was a lot of immature dumb fun, and i highly recommend doing it yrself, with your jog dog pals.  Cheers for waiting, its been ages. Thanks Tarkine Athletics for putting into this pod and encouraging me to keep doing it. Mainly thanks to whoever listens, i would've stopped ages ago if people were genuinely enjoying it.  Back v soon, Nick :)

The Movie Squad X RTP

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a bazillion times - this is a very special episode of Run To Paradise. Not only is it a gajillion times more hi-fi than any of the other episodes, but it contains two ACTUAL experienced broadcasters. They may not be runners, but goddam the Movie Squad can field a conversation. I can’t describe the relief, the feeling of containment and safety, knowing that Simon or Tristan would deftly guide the conversation back on track, with a laugh, without any awkward silences, and without me having a minor panic attack while I scramble for a relevant question while realising I haven’t been listening to anything my guest has said for the last 5 minutes. This is The Movie Squad X Run To Paradise! We review and discuss running in cinema. Not running in cinemas, but feel free to discuss that among yourselves :) We cover Chariots of Fire, The Jericho Mile, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Tracktown, Run Fat Boy Run, Brittany Runs A Marathon. We also discuss the running techniques of Tom Cruise and…well mainly Tom Cruise, and whether hitting the wall a shitting yourself should be represented more in cinema. The answer? Absolutely! As my ol’ Dad used to say “there’s always Tom Cruise” Thanks for listening! Run To Paradise is a Tarkine sponsored production, and was recorded in Boorloo on the traditional, unneeded lands of the Nyoongar people. And enormous thanks to RTRFM and the movie squad. I love you so much.

Emotional Bag - Noah Dillion

Another running episode! Come with me and Noah Dillon - Perth musician and notorious mad dog - on an early autumn morning run around a lake. More of these half hour conversational pace jog episodes coming up :) Noah is a fabulous musician, mean cricketer, runner and most excellent bloke. We talk about writing songs, Peter Jackson’s Beatles doco, testosterone, Noahs EP Soft, his best mid-tour runs, and compare playing footy and participating in a local trail race, and playing small bedroom music and gigantic rock band music.  All Run To Paradise is supported by Tarkine Athletics. Thanks to them and Noah and mostly you lot who listen! Luvya.

Walk In Beauty - Timberlin Henderson

Timberlin Henderson is an elite ultra runner for Tarkine Athletics, a coach, teacher and a proud Navajo man. Despite being an incredible and competitive athlete, he regards running as medicine and a spiritual endeavour, a way to honour the four mountains and connect with his land and his ancestors.  He has moved away from using modern, high carb nutrition in favour of the staples of his peoples traditional diet, corn, beans and squash.  He has also moved away from representing marijuana companies and identifying as a "cannabis athlete" to be a role model for the youth of the reservation which has been blighted by addiction problems, and to better connect with his spirituality and cultural practices.  This was a huge privilege and deeply inspiring for someone who is sick of feeling sick of gels, and tired of feeling frustrated by training setbacks.
