Ep #044 The Treadmill is a False Economy

*LOW AUDIO QUALITY WARNING* This week on The Long Run we kick things off by congratulating ultra runner Max Jolliffe on tying the knot before heading Around the Track with results from Twisted Fork 30K, South Africa’s brutal MUT Miler, and the South West Rocks Running Festival. We also discuss newly ratified world records from Yomif Kejelcha and Gout Gout, dive into the unique F1-style Bandit Grand Prix, and speculate on whether Michael Versteeg has made the move from Satisfy to Norda. Plus, Adidas launches a budget-friendly Adizero trainer, Angus gives his one-run review of the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4, and we wrap up with our week of training.

Ep #042 If I went pro …

This week on The Long Run we chat all things Cape Town Marathon, ask the big question — if you didn’t have to work for a year, how fast could you actually get? We check in on the Aussies competing at the latest Diamond League meet in Xiamen. We also dive into the insanity of The Spine Race, a 430km non-stop ultra across Britain with over 10,000m of elevation, just five aid stations, and conditions ranging from freezing cold to 25°C. Plus, as always, our week of training.

Ep #041 2.5kg of Broccoli

This week on The Long Run we dive into the new Adidas x Satisfy collab before wrapping all the action from the opening round of the Diamond League season, including Lachlan Kennedy’s huge run against one of the deepest sprint fields of the year. We also look at Aussie sprint star Eddie Nketia chasing the national 100m record, unpack the science behind NOMIO recovery shots and their claims around lactate reduction and recovery, Elton sinks Gus’s kit battleships, and as always we finish with our week of training.

Plus a recap of the Merewether Mile and a look ahead to the opening round of the Diamond League season as the world’s best athletes chase points and prize money across the globe. We also dive into all things Ultra-Trail Australia, break down the 2027 Western States Golden Ticket schedule, and look at what watches the elites are actually wearing — from Garmin and COROS to a surprise appearance from Samsung. As always, we finish with our week of training.

Ep #039 Bulk Distance with Meg Southcombe

This week on The Long Run the Legends Backyard Ultra goes to another level, with four runners cracking 100+ laps.

We have special guest Meg Southcombe online talking all things women in sport, training for more than just physical benefits and a jam packed race schedule over the next few months. As always we finish with our week of training.
