In the beginning, episode 53 and we are back across the table
from one another corner. You're back from Bali.
Yeah, well, I always liked it so much better in person, isn't it?
You're off much? How much sleep?
Yeah. I caught the red eye home last
night so I got I walked in the door about two hours ago and I
reckon I got one hour of dodgy Jetstar sleep overnight so.
And one hour of Jetstar sleeps probably the equivalent of like
half an hour of decent. Yeah, and and the other three
families I was travelling with some how we were on Virgin.
I don't know what I did but anyway.
Isn't it funny when you book? I was.
I think about this in the mornings when I'm on the way
into the radio show, 'cause I'm on the roads, there's very few
people around. But occasionally I'll see
somebody with a suitcase in hand who's clearly booked the first
flight out of the Gold Coast. And I think those people hate
the past versions of themselves. Who?
The past version of you sees that early flight and it's $200
cheaper and go yeah, I'll just catch that.
But the you that has to deal with the that flight in the
moment, it gets so angry with past you for trying to save.
Money. That's me.
Yeah, every week, Liam, especially now daylight savings
is coming because to get to Sydney it is the 6:00 AM flight.
So yeah, we are on the Red Bulls today because I need every bit
of cafe. I get we're both on the Red
Bull. Today talk about Red Bull and
you know, people go no one drinks that stuff.
Have a listen to our Lions Cam Rainer.
He must. Do you get man of the match
against the Suns? He was, he would, he would have
been in my best two players on the ground.
When I was watching you, at one stage you were throwing up on
set of wing, and then they brought a concoction out.
It looked like a Red Bull and everything in it, and you've
slugged it down. You're a crook.
Yeah, I'll beat crook. I'll wait.
Your throat's still a little bit.
Little bit outrage. But the concoction was out.
It was a Red Bull assault table and a NOTO, so I'm not sure if
I'll be trying that anytime soon.
Yeah, wouldn't recommend that. You could have told me when the
Rainer cocktail, the Red Bull, a No dozen assault tablet.
Brisbane Lions on on the on the good, on the good stuff.
Well, big shout out to Cameron 'cause it's grand final day.
It's, if you're listening to this on on the Saturday, the day
it drops in his grand final day and the Brisbane Lions are going
for back to back premierships. Yeah, well, I mean in that game
it is here he is sick. But he was, he was, I mean, he
was an animal. That game, that animal was after
the game against the Gold Coast Suns and he was unstoppable.
He was unstoppable. Him and Josh Dunkley, they
bullied the Gold Coast Suns. They were just too physical for
them. I think they win again today and
here's a here's a statement for you.
If the Brisbane Lions win today, they have the potential.
It'll be, it's their third grand final in a row.
If they win today, it's two wins out of three grand finals with
the players that are coming to the Brisbane Lions in the
offseason, presuming all trades get done, which I expect them to
you, you could be talking about this current Brisbane Lions team
under Chris Fagan as one of the best teams of the last three
decades. Because with Sam Draper and
Oscar Allen, 2 bigs that they're expected to get, there's another
kid coming in this year's draught through the Academy
system, the ongoing development of their youth, this team could
dominate the comp for the next two to three years.
Inside Word camera and a the and and, all fuelled by the camera
and a cocktail of a Red Bull and Nodos tablet and a salt.
Tablet. That's, that's, that's yeah.
I wonder maybe would he say he said salt, didn't he?
Salt tablet, Salt tablet and Nodos and A and A and a Red
Bull. When I first heard it, for some
reason in my head I was thinking pickle juice and I was going so
a Red Bull pickle juice and that'd.
Be pretty good too. That'd be a decent.
One we could, could, would, would Red Bull entertain a Cam
rain, Cam rain again, get his face on it well.
There we go. You never know.
Hey.
Yeah. From Cam Rainer to Harry Styles.
Yeah, there's a job do. You know who Harry Styles is?
I. Do know One Direction?
All right, I just got kids. I always, I always want to check
before we jump into these. If you don't know who Harry
Styles is, he is the he's Justin Bieber.
He is one of the biggest pop stars of the last probably 10
years, part of One Direction. But more importantly for us,
Harry Styles is now a member of the Sub Three hour Marathon
club. Yep, going Incognito.
This is Berlin marathon last weekend.
Harry Styles, who's 31 now, has run a 25913, which was more than
25 minutes better than his previous best when he ran Tokyo
in March. So I think first and foremost,
we can say Harry's got the running bug because if you run a
324 marathon and then come back for more and you will you tick
off Tokyo and now you've ticked off Berlin.
I think it's probably not too big a stretch to say that Harry.
I can see Harry wanting to tick off all 7 majors.
So I think I'll say it. We're going to see Harry and.
You reckon he'll come down and see?
I reckon we see Harry and Sydney now mate.
Might take five years. Four years.
No, no, no. You think he's listen up.
Sydney Marathon listen up message for you.
I'm looking down the camera as I say this TCS Sydney Marathon
Elliot Kipchogo last year, great, you nailed it.
You sold it first year as a major marathon.
Next year, go get Harry Styles. Pay him what you need to,
because if you want to continue to build, if you want to build
on the hype that you generated in your year one as a major, go
get Harry Styles. Go and get the celebrity.
Pay him what he needs, get him out here, make it a thing.
I don't know if Harry wants to be a feature like that, given
that he ran this under someone else's name.
Under someone else's name with a bandana on and sonny's.
But if you. Make a feature of it.
That is another way to continue to build on the the popularity
of Sydney as a major marathon. The fake name that he ran under
Ted Sarandos. What's?
What's that mean? Well, the CEO of Netflix is Ted
Sarandos, so he's obviously had a bit of fun there.
I don't know if there's a relationship, but.
I just I the first thing I did. Let's get back to proper
running. Yeah, let's get back to running.
Yeah, well, that was a. Serious running that wasn't
giving no, no danger. A river.
Yeah, yeah. I'm just, I typed in who coaches
him because he ran pretty much. He ran a 129 and then 1:30.
So yeah, yeah, on the money, obviously training properly and
doing all that. So I can't find who, just like
with a quick Google, can't find who trains him at the moment.
But from 2018 to 2021, which tells us he's been training a
while for this. Yeah, he's been in the running
scene for a while, but former Special Forces soldier and
Executive Peak Performance founder said his one mile PB was
513. What does that work to at a per
K base? We work on the metric system
down here. 513 is moving. It's good.
This the the story I've found about you've.
Asked me something. All I'm saying is he's got a
really good speed base. The the story I found about
Harry in the run says that there's a fellow by the name of
David Tebow or David Thibow, who's a former British special
that's. What I just said.
If he didn't say his name, you got to give him his name.
You couldn't say his name. That's why he didn't say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, he's clearly and that is
that's not irrelevant of a celebrity or not.
That's serious. Running a 25913 is serious
running. Harry.
Big shout out. Welcome to the running
community. Looks like he's running in alpha
flies for the the shoe nerds out there. 259 and and a friend of
mine ran. Oh, OK, here's the story for
you. Yep.
Friend of mine Nick, shout out Nick Spanner, part of the
Runners in the Dark crew in Sydney went over and ran Berlin.
And I'm going to show you a photo because.
Did he go for the time? Was that the reason he went to
Berlin to get the fast? I don't know.
I don't know if he ran there specifically to run a fast time,
but he ran there, obviously got into Berlin and he's run at
2:58. So I don't believe that's Nick's
fastest ever marathon. But.
How's this? So everybody knows the
photographer's on course. You go, you finish your race,
and then at the end you get an email going.
Here's all the photos of you throughout the course.
Now, there was some jokes made about Nick.
And when we saw the Harry Tom, we're like, did you see him on
course? Nick said no, I'd heard he was
running. I kept an eye for him.
I didn't see him. And then Nick's gone and looked
through the photos with his bib number.
And he's running with him. Have a look at the photo that
Nick has from the day. That's Nick out in front in the
AG one. Yeah, I can see him.
And then where am I? In the background, head down,
head down is Harry Styles. So there's Nick's got this great
photo of him probably 5 metres or so ahead of Harry Styles at
the Berlin Marathon. And as I said to Nick, I'm like,
mate, if you haven't bought that photo, I'll buy it for you
because that is a photo as a runner that you should be
putting up in your pool room. You've given this guy some props
this morning. I love you but.
It's a great running story. Having this this type of like
all people. Yes, involved now from Harry.
We'll move on. It's time to talk finance.
We've never talked finance on this show before, but we've got
2 finance stories, OK, both running related.
Yes, I I know. So I just saw the second note.
Firstly, let's let's let's go with the first one.
We've been quoted in AFR. Yes, he's failing financial
review. For those of you playing along
at home in the Beginning podcast officially quoted in a recent
article. Yep.
Courtney, I can. About running influences.
About running influences, the amount of cash they're making.
Yeah, yeah. And they took a quote from us,
from you in fact, saying that you'd like to see some of that
money. So they took quotes from our AG
one live they. Didn't attribute that quote,
which I wasn't happy about. Yeah, right.
They only attributed the quote from you in the beginning
podcast Courtney Atkinson saying that he would like to see more
money going to they. Didn't quote.
They didn't quote Andy. And then when they used a quote
from Andy Buchanan, Australian marathon record holder, they
didn't cite that. That was from our AG One
podcast. Go and get that journalist.
No, the the irony of it was I had this article sent to me
through a few different people. Yeah, None of them had read the
art. This is now.
This is media for you. Yeah.
And, and journals or, or whatever.
Yeah. No one had actually read it.
They didn't send it because we were in it.
Oh. Really.
No, so I actually they just saw the headline brother in So they
all sent me this, people who would read.
The Australian Review. Yeah, the FIN review send it to
me, but they, they didn't mention we're in it, they didn't
realise. So when I said hey, we're quoted
in it, 'cause I actually I was, I read through the whole thing.
Yeah, no idea they did, you know, so people are just read.
Just goes to show it. But we are so guilty of headline
culture. Now, now, the I suppose the
irony is I'm heading down to the snowy mountains next week to
take the run. As mentioned in that article
Running. The influences, yeah, Give them
a shout it. Yeah, yeah.
Louis Phillips. We'd have to know.
I mean, Louis. I will.
So I'll get some more information on where the
article, how it became. I would love to have a
conversation with Louis about running.
Well, I think he's really interesting.
I think he's a really. Because I didn't realise he'd
been on Big Brother. I didn't realise that either.
Yeah, he was on Big Brother. Yeah.
So he generated an audience off that and then he's now.
Converted, so that is. So there's always a story behind
the story. Yeah, so true, isn't it?
So it's not like it's not like you just started running and
then suddenly bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
No, there's a story that got you to a point to.
Well also let me say I don't know what his audience looked
like pre or post Big Brother and I.
Maybe he is. Maybe he discounts any Big
Brother influence on his audience size.
I don't know, but I'm 99% sure he was on Big Brother.
Well, that's another question. Well, well, but.
I I love what Louis does for running.
I think it's great. Well.
When he's on the coast one day, 'cause we wanna do interviews in
person, it's way better. Yes, Louis.
Well, next time you're on the coast.
Oh, you're welcome. I'll see you next week 'cause I
wanna, I wanna ask you this, but I've been away a few times with
he came out to Uluru last year. Yep.
When we're out there running. Is Danny Byron with you earlier?
Oh yeah, true. Byron So there's been a few
times we catch up a a fair bit. So it was it was I think for
anyone. We'll put the link in if anyone
wants to have a look. But the thing here is the
article makes it out like there's this big, you know,
really like tension. There's not.
Not between us, just between. Yeah, elites and runners,
there's not all runners and and the other thing Andy's quoted in
that story and for anybody that listened to the AG one episode
in full, Andy's not critical of the influences.
He his comment about the quote that they use in the article
that Andy doesn't think people should go and think someone
who's been running for 12 months knows everything about running.
That's different, that's coaching, that's instructive,
that's got. Nothing to do.
But he also said he the elites, the elites, they need to learn
off what the, you know, run influencers are doing and
actually do better in showing what they do.
Big shout out to Andy as well because I've been asking for
fashion advice from Andy at the moment.
Remember what fashion advice he he had this T-shirt that he was
wearing and it's an ASICS sports style T shirt and I asked him
because I saw it when he was up here for the marathon.
It looks it was cool. It was very cool.
Anyway, next finance story. Yep.
Can you believe it? When it rains finance, it pours
finance. I'm going to take a victory lap
on this. I have you.
Call it. Have I, well, have I not been
banging on about the fact that Strava and the Runner
acquisition, this is, this is massive for running.
This is going to become a behemoth.
We banged on about it. I kid you not.
I was texting somebody a running related thing.
There's potentially some things we might get to do down the
track. And I, and this person has just
entered the running world from a, an agency perspective.
And I was just sending him a bit of an email to say, hey, here's
a bit of the lay of the land running wise, his brands, his
Insta accounts. Here's some things you might
that might help you. And I said in this email, mate,
Strava and Runner, this is the sleeping giant of the running
world. Keep an eye on it.
If it ever becomes publicly listed by shares, Strava is
making a move to an IPO, to an initial public offering and
becoming a publicly listed company.
So, so many things. Off the back of that you can.
You can, I suppose, predict it's.
So they're basically the, the, the lay of the land is right
now, they are sounding out funds or organisations in the US to,
to, to handle this IPO for them, which is where they would go
public and allow people to buy shares in it.
It was last valued in May by a, a capital mob at 2.2 billion,
Jesus, $2.2 billion. So they've recently appointed a
chief financial officer, which is what will often happen before
an IPO goes forward. So they've now got someone in
the big chair financially and now we wait to see what happens
Now. Like I'm, I'm really excited
about what this means. I saw 2 two things on that one
was the dude the dude who created runner.
I saw a believe what you see on social media, I suppose, but he
was talking about how he literally to get to Strava like
that was their goal and to get to Strava and to get even just
an intro. He was just continually emailing
random. He was trying to get the CEO
yeah of Strava. So he just kept trying different
emails really until one clicked. That's clever.
It's him talking in the thing. Don't know how much truth it is
to it. The second thing is we know.
Yeah, like that's business, right?
Yeah, They're building it up to create something.
What has happened every time a social media account has had to
monetize 'cause once you go public, you're then accountable
to shareholders. And what's the one thing
shareholders need? Profit, revenue, profit.
Yeah, it actually it it's it becomes not so much about the
product is returning. And what is every single app
social media style app done to create profit?
Ads. Ads.
Not a bad thing. Advertising is not a bad thing.
It can ruin things and it has ruined things, but it's not a
bad thing. I, for one, we talk about it on,
you know, hey, if there are any advertisers that want to come on
board, we'll take them. I mean, just the other week you,
you ran me through that list of running brands that I hadn't
heard of. And I'll, and I'll be honest,
when you did that, that was probably about a month or two
ago, you ran me through the these list of Europe of running
brands and I hadn't heard of most of them.
When I went down to Sydney, I got mocks and people like were
like what? You've been out of Sydney for
too long. The fact you haven't heard of
all these brands. But I think with the running
space, I'd love it if I was had the ability to be tailored some
suggestive advertising because I think running's because I love
running. I'm passionate about it and I
think I have the ability to discern what would be of value
to me. Can Strava provide that if they
start bombarding the platform with ads?
I don't know, but I'd certainly be open to the idea.
And I'll and put it this way, how much money we got in the
joint account, Courtney? How much money is there in the
in the In the Beginning podcast? Account I'm not going to
mention. We're buying Strava, we're
buying Strava shares. Hey, what did you say about
Sydney? When I was down there, I got
mocked by people for not knowing about certain running brands.
Yeah, let's, let's talk a little bit about Sydney.
Brisbane. Not so.
Emergency Department. How can I help you?
I love it here. Let's see.
Symptoms twitching, delusion. I love the sweat.
Always sweat, I love this humidity all of the time.
OK, just relax. You've got movers remorse.
Did you move from Melbourne to escape?
5:00 AM. Everyone's up running, walking,
swimming and it's only winter. I hear the sun comes up earlier
in summer. We've got another one.
You should have read the handbook before migrating.
OK well it clearly states that Brisbane is under the rule of
the Aztec sun God. Turn a tear whereby you must
self sacrifice each morning at sunrise through exercise to keep
the sunshining here. I'll write this down for you.
What happens if I don't? The whole place floods here,
what do I do? You exercise at sunrise like the
rest of us, or you go back down South next?
Who was that? That was the IOC.
It's sorry, some context. Yeah, Jimmy, Jimmy Rees, he was
being the Brisbane not so emergency department call
centre. Yeah, there it's I love Jimmy
Ree's people. Some people have their parents
who've got younger kids might remember him from Hoot and
Giggle. Yes, he was Jimmy Hoot on that.
On the on the money though, around.
The that's so spot on. The idea that you move up here
and you go, oh, we love the sunshine and then it gets into
the summer months. I remember the first year I was
up here and I only thought about this after I saw this clip.
I have acclimatised. I don't sweat nearly as much as
I used to in the humidity here. I'm I've I've adjusted I I can.
See how it happens. I mean, you've just spent 2 or
10 days in bloody Indonesia. I didn't adjust.
Like, that's a nut. That's the next level, right?
And then another level. Yeah.
So you, like, it was 27, I think the day before we left here.
Yeah. Get there.
Try and have a jog mate. Did you jog at all?
I spent a lot of time on treadmills.
Yeah, right. Some really nice treadmills.
I was in the the hotel fitness centres with views and
everything else. But I was on holiday so like I
was sleeping in family time and all that.
So I got when the day got to when I needed to run.
It was just sometimes. Hot, hot.
I just jumped in. I'm facing that a little bit at
the moment because we've talked about this before, but I'm on
pro hours because of the radio show.
But today, for example, it's almost it's, you know, the Today
the forecast is tops of 26. I think it's starting to get
really warm in the, you know, around midday for me running at
that is. You know, tough of the tan
you're gonna get. Shut it off, shut it off.
Hey now, we've talked about your
terrible memory a bit on this and the Courtney Atkinson
Museum. When you pass on and we open it
up will be it might be empty in some stretches just because you
can't remember anything that went on.
But I think we brought this up on a previous episode and I
wanted to share this audio because the one end of the
spectrum from a sports memory perspective, we have Courtney
Atkinson. Which is 0.
This is from one from a scale of 1 to 10.
From a scale of 1 to 10, let's put you into one.
You do remember some things. And if anybody missed the Noosa
series episode that dropped earlier in the week, Courtney
did remember something. Somethings about the Noosa
trash. Do you know what?
For those who have who haven't tuned in yet to the Noosa
episodes, the next thing when we get Dan Atkins, Matt Houses
coach back in, I'm going to give him a week of my training diary
from when I had one move so previously and then see what he
thinks of it. Well, one, see what he thinks of
it, but two actually then go like I want to know what is
different now? Mileage, What would he change?
Like he, he's not going to give us every secret in the book, but
he's pretty open, right? Yeah, no, Dan's been amazing and
and so I love that exercise. So this is a this is a winner
from 2007, 2000. What did you join 2?
1007 later than. That what did you join?
Didn't you win 2000 and. Seven, you interviewed me.
I've forgotten already. No, I was all around 2:10.
I think so. 2000 and so a winners training diary from 2010
versus what a potential winners diary of 2025 looks like.
Yeah, that's really cool. Looks.
So that's going to start. The next episode with Dan,
that's how we'll start. All right, there you go again.
If you're already in the NUSA Tri series, jump into it a lot
of fun. So at one end, at the at a one
on the sports memory spectrum, we have Courtney Atkinson.
I'm putting this bloke on a 10. This is the pointy end of the
sports memory spectrum. Sean McVay, if you don't know
who he is, he's the head coach of the LA Rams in the NFL.
And this is him being basically asked about plays he's called in
games from years gone by. You're unbelievable.
Now we are going to go to this is Sean Mcveigh's time in
Washington. So we're bringing it back to
2015 Week 7 bucks at Skins second and seven on the Tampa
Bay, 2458 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
Jamieson Crowder wheel route down the right sideline.
Jamieson Crowder wheel route down the right sideline S the
first down and then how did that drive end?
Jordan Reed touchdown in a four by one individual ISO slant.
And what meme was that game? You like that?
He's real. Good.
Check out the brain on Sean. Amazing.
So he did that a few times. I've just cut it down.
So by comparison, try and remember, if you're listening to
this, try and remember what you had for lunch two weeks ago.
On any given day, Sean McVay is remembering a play that he
called in the fourth quarter of a game from maybe 8-9 years ago
when he wasn't even the head coach.
He was the offensive coordinator of that team and he can remember
the play, he can remember the result of the play, and he can
remember the meme that the resulted from that game.
Yeah, so that one, I mean, obviously there was a meme.
So it was the play was a big play.
There's 2 plays in there, but he had prior to that, in that same
kind of interview, done that three times or two times up to
it. So he did 3 for three.
Different plays. LeBron James can do that a bit
too. LeBron James can remember plays
from like, remember games from his career and you know.
So do you reckon endurance sports versus football or like
football, basketball, team sports like that you need a
different memory? Maybe, maybe it's maybe it's got
to do. Yeah.
In endurance sports, you need the ability to forget.
You need to turn the memory off. That's the key, Yeah, actually.
Don't want to be? Thinking in endurance sports,
you want to forget. In those sports you want to
remember. Yeah, there we go.
Well, you know, it was brilliant.
And when you sent me that one, I thought, holy hell, that just
sums me up in a because I like really, what do I remember?
So this is what I've worked out. I remember when something, you
know, is more unique, something out of the ordinary happens.
That's got nothing to do with the ordinary of what would have
been in a race. So like, I can remember maybe
like a crash. I said, oh, when I lost my
sunglasses on a roundabout, right?
Like I had plenty of crashes. But I remember that one because
of that reason. Just the results just all blend,
all blend. Hey, I'm up in Seoul now.
This is a little, this is a bit of a heated debate 8 because
we've talked about this, I think we've seen it in LA over in
America. We we obviously have seen it in
Sydney, you know, Gold Coast, pretty big shirtless running
population. I was just encouraging you to go
out shirtless to get a bit of a tan, which probably isn't
Sunsafe should mention. Slips up, yeah, slips up.
But ever in Korea, they're around some of the biggest
parks. Running's becoming such a big
boom that the council, I assume, or the the city are banning and
putting up guidelines around prohibiting 1 shirtless running
2 clapping and cheering for other runners, which we've
mentioned on the Gold Coast here running in large groups and
shouting at pedestrians make. Way, Yeah.
What do you reckon this park so runs?
They've used what? Who did the We'll ask Matt about
this when we get Matt. Hauser and they the Queensland,
the road and transport, yeah, that is.
Queensland Road and Chapel because they're saying here you
should be running safely in two lines because the park's for
everyone. So Australia is, is guilty of
being a bit of a nanny state on a lot of stuff, right?
Our occupation like and like health and safety really
important. I'm not disputing that.
I also think there are certain rules that we shouldn't have to
put in place because common sense should just prevail.
I would hate to see rules brought in for running around.
No, no, no. But, but, and, and I don't like
this because because it tells me a couple of things.
It tells me that the government is trying to dictate the way
people exercise, which I don't like.
But it also tells me that the runners themselves have been
carrying on like twits. Like if the fact that they've
brought in these rules means that the runners have been
behaving in such a way that people are complaining now, it's
not hard to run and not get in people's way and not make like.
So here's here's a question for you What do you call or say to
someone if you're running around Burley Hill or through flays?
You like your new flays? Look.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The path's only wide enough for
two people. You've got 2 walkers in front of
you. What's your?
Call so OK, I love this. These runners know this.
I love this. So they they they said shouting
make way no who The Who says? Yeah, I know.
I mean, aside from a royal being announced into a room.
So what I do, because I don't like interrupting people, what I
will do if I'm coming up from behind them or even if they're
approaching me from the opposite way, I deliberately start
scuffing my feet. Yep, to make noise.
I. Think that's a good?
Move so I scuff my feet to make noise, allowing them to hear it
without me being intrusive. Giving them a chance, Giving
them a chance. Give them a chance.
I give them first right of give way right by scuffing my feet so
that they can hear me. OK, so they don't give way.
And if they don't give way still too abreast that's I'm coming
from behind or they're coming from front, I will slow.
I don't hold my pace. I slow and say sorry guys.
Very much in that. Very sorry guys.
You're a sorry guys. Yeah, type guy.
Yep. I say sorry guys.
And then when they move I said thank you with a wave.
Curtis, you are about the back. And then roll on.
It's nice. And I'll get very, I'll get very
skinny. I'll turn side on like I'm
trying to go through a, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little maze.
Yeah. Get through one of the, what are
you, burly gates? Yeah, Well, see, I'm just trying
to think. I do the scuffle.
I definitely, yeah, I, I, I try and mate, especially in the
trails, but again, on the road as well.
But there's a bad habit because when you've grown up track
running in athletics, you call track, you just say the word
track. So like you're on a running, OK,
you've done, you're on the track, you're doing a session,
you've just finished a hard 400 and you're killed.
You know, you've got a group of three or four.
If you run that 400, you're keeled over.
Yeah, taking in big breaths. And then the 100 metre sprinters
are coming down. Yeah, the straight track.
Oh, that's what people shout at you?
Yeah, like. 4 You know, like you're playing golf.
Why the hell yell out for? I did not know this was a thing
so. You're running track, so if
you're running. So when I'm a lot of the groups
I'm running with the habit of calling track, they do that
running around Burley Headland, right?
And which and which is when? Worse than Mike way when?
You when you talk about common sense.
It's like track that means nothing.
You'd look at them and go, what are you if you're an idiot?
If I was walking on Burley Hill or any and someone yelled track,
I would, I would be so confused. I'd be like what?
What do you want me to do? Like where track means nothing?
No, it's a good lesson actually. If you hear anybody shout track,
they mean get out the way. If you're a person who's
shouting track, stop. Stop.
Unless you're on anything else, unless you're on the track.
Unless you're on the track. Yeah, yeah, you've just brought
up a really. Interesting thing if you listen,
what do you call? Let us know.
I'm do I call out to get to get around?
Do you know what? You know what?
I'm looking. I'm trying to figure out what
the origin of why Golfer Shout 4 is.
Yeah, because. It's the same thing, right?
And then I mean, because in cricket 6, you know what's
happening, you're going to get 6.
The term four, Yeah. What is it as a warning may have
roots in old Scottish where it meant look out ahead or was
associated with the phrase clear the way.
There you go. So it might be a Scottish word
because that's where golf started.
Track. Don't shout track.
Don't. It's again, we we've talked a
little bit about this on the Gold Coast because of what
happened along Hedges Ave with the runner and the bike cyclist
and all the rest of that. Well, he just called Charge.
Yeah, we didn't call anything. He was just a Dick about it.
If you're running, it is beholden on you to make
adjustments. Now if you find yourselves on a
tight track, make as many adjustments as you can or find
somewhere else to run like there's there's.
You're not devoid of places to run If you insist on running in
high population high density areas, it is.
I think the responsibility lies with you to make adjustments.
It's not and and if we get to a point where Burleigh Hill or
Bondi, because I know there's a running group in Bondi that's
causing all sorts of issues, if we get to a point where these
local councils are putting up signs because of the runners, we
only have ourselves to blame. Yep, I'm still trying to think
what else? Do you call?
I'm stumped as to what I would call because all I've got in my
mind is. Track the cycling type call.
Would it be like a runner back sort of thing?
Because if you are on the bike the the cycle calls you her car
back. To someone runner back.
Coming through. What about this one?
If you if you're running in a group and you're not calling out
and someone's someone's walking towards you and you're going to
warn the people behind you and you call Walker.
Yep. Yeah, great.
So where for example, Azi Gordon's group at the Spit?
But is that putting the Walker down?
Like, hey, we're runners. No, Walker, I think there's a
difference. I think there's different calls.
If you're communicating to your running group as opposed to
communicating to the people in front of you, really you
shouldn't have to communicate. If people are coming towards
you, as in you shouldn't have to be telling them, hey, I'm coming
through. They should be looking where
they're going. I think if you're approaching
someone from behind, you should be calling and giving them a
heads up that you're coming through.
But if, if, if people, if you're at the front of your running
crew and there's something coming towards you.
Eddie Gordon's example in the up at the spit on the trailer, bike
up, runner up, walkers up and the people at the front call
that for the people at the back. So everybody knows to move to
the left hand side and running, running jargon.
It's running up, runner up, bike up, whatever, up, unicycle up.
Why add the up? Meaning it's coming ahead.
Oh, because. And then conversely, the runners
at the back when a bike is coming through, we'll call that.
Runner back. Bike back, runner back, whatever
it is. OK, Yeah, it's.
Cool. Let us know anyone.
Yeah, if you, if you guys have actually, yeah, if you have a
specific etiquette within your running group or where you run
to let people know because I reckon the scuff is universal.
Everybody employs the scuff so they don't have to shout out.
Oh yeah, in the in the truck. So you get real heavy feet.
In the on bitumen or concrete, it's it's for my own like I want
to get past like quicker yes in the trail I'm doing it for a
completely different reason. I don't want to No, no, I don't
want to scare the shit out of someone.
Oh. 'Cause you.
Oh. Yeah, you scare like you.
Oh, you've I've had some beauties.
Just where? I try to do everything I can,
but, you know, especially when there's like a little bit of a
group, you know, maybe two or three people travelling at a bit
slower speed, talking together and you're still trying to scuff
and that nothing. Or if they've got.
Headphones in headphones there's nothing you can do and then like
suddenly you're there. It's happened to me too.
Vice versa. Like I've had my headphones on a
bot and a rider. Yep, right.
Up on me, but that's on you, that's on me.
If you've got headphones in and you get scared by somebody
because you can't hear them, that's on you. 100% I like
that's a good running chat. 100% that's I like that one.
OK, this this one's from Lucas. Now I actually have no idea what
this is, but I'm going to play it.
Hi guys, love the potty. I have finally caught up on all
the episodes since I started listening.
Talking about race events, I just ran the City to Bay on the
weekend and it probably wasn't the best run event considering
how big it is in Adelaide. The finish zone was in a
different spot because of Rd works and stuff but my main
gripe with it was no net time. Basically the.
Time that was published on the website was the time from when
the gun went off to when you crossed the finish line, which
meant some people were missing out on pay base because it took
them 5-6 minutes to get across the finish line.
Just wondering what you boys think about that.
No net times at a massive running event with probably
10,000 people. That's really interesting.
Full disclosure, and you won't know this.
That's my cousin. How you doing, Lucas?
That is, yeah, that's my cousin who is a fan of the pod.
I'm Did you pay him to? No.
I didn't. I didn't.
I hadn't even seen that did. You take that out of our Kitty.
So we're getting messages. Yeah, we're down.
No, I, I hadn't actually seen the the comment.
I'm just jumped on city debate and I'm having a look and he's
right. There's only the start.
So there's not an adjusted. Time, there's no adjusted time
and I don't know whether you got one of those individually, but
like Izzy, Bat Doyle ran this, she would have been off the
front. So it probably doesn't matter
for Izzy, but I'm looking through and well.
It makes sense if you've got 10,000 people there.
Like going off Gold Coast stats, what do they say?
We get A? They get 1000 on memory A. 1000
people over the line a minute. A minute, you could be 10
minutes. Yeah, be both here.
You better. You gotta do better there.
It's a big run that surprises me because that's the city of the
Bay is where I broke 90 for the half a couple of years ago.
And I feel like I had a. You might have had You might
have been quicker than you thought.
Oh, maybe. Or did you did?
You did you even better. You just straw the time.
No, no, no. I got an.
I got the official time. That's really interesting.
OK. Yeah, baby.
Come on. See you, babe.
You're a big race. You gotta do better.
Than icon bullshit on that one Lucas.
That's a definitely. Hey, let's can we move on to
injuries so people might remember during our Gold Coast
in the beginning runs of the Gold Coast Marathon series, we
had a special episode where we sat down with a couple of
physios from Southern Cross University.
Yes, I forget the woman's name, but Gabe was one of the physios
who jumped in with us. Mel.
Mel, thank you. We had Gabe and Mel who were
great and we talked a lot about injury prevention, recovery, all
that sort of stuff. Now Gabe has reached out
because. Well, one of our questions too
was how can people get involved in the studies to help you
figure out for us how to improve our calves and.
Achilles, that's right. That's right.
Now Gabe has reached out because he's doing a study and he wanted
to put it out there. If anybody out there is is
experiencing any of this stuff, we can provide the link, he
said. Just in case you forgot, allied
health professionals, strength and conditioning coaches and
running coaches working with athletes with Achilles
tendinopathy participate and represent your profession and
country in this global survey. So if there's anybody out there
that. You'll be a meta meta meta data
study. Yeah.
And so if there's anybody out there that is currently
experiencing some Achilles stuff, give us, give us all a
hand here. We'll put a link, we'll put the
link down and you can sign up and, and be a part of a a study
and make you feel, it'll make you feel like a real runner if
you're participating in a medical study on possible
injuries. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, makes everyone feel good. Hey look that my school's
comment from when I was away and we were online together.
That's why not if you missed. Has it been all positive?
I haven't really been across. The most part, I think it has
the if if you if you from to take you back to the last
episode, you we were talking about the idea of running in
schools and you were we joked about the idea of Courtney
bringing in the hard line running coaching as in start
running, get running, don't. Compulsory running, Compulsory
running, Compulsory exercise. Compulsory exercise.
They're not just. Running and, and, and not
allowing kids an easy out from running, basically, not because
not to bully, but because it's good for them, right?
It's like encouraging your kids to eat their veggies.
It's good for them. You do it because it's the right
thing for them to do. Being a bit harder, bit of a
harder taskmaster with kids at schools might be what they need.
We were joking about this. This just wasn't Courtney
something, but we've had a lot of people reach out about it.
Just a couple of comments to share with you, Courtney Nick
Stone with regard to the last episode with kids at school and
cross country. I think it's more than just
running kids at school and sorry, he said.
I think it's more than just running.
Kids at school are not learning how to be uncomfortable, whether
it's through hard exercise such as running or being able to be
bored, brackets without a screening, cars and buses,
etcetera. We are letting kids only ever
feel comfortable so when things go wrong they can't handle it.
I found Park Run has really helped my kids tolerance with a
lot of other things in life. Keep up the great work.
That's from Nick Stone. Interesting, interesting.
But we know Park Run does, you know, it's, it's great for
adults. But this is, I wonder why Park
Run haven't got involved in schools.
I wonder why the Park Run organisation with all the good
they do for health and exercise? I guess volunteer run.
You think about the individual park runs, they're volunteer
run. Yeah, they are.
But I mean, just because it's such a well oiled organisation
that has such a good, has such goodwill now with that name to
take that in, to take some type of system like that into a
school system that can be replicated across the country.
Just wonder why this hasn't been implemented.
I don't know. I love the idea that Nick has
taken his kids and made and not made them, but got them involved
with Park Run and the fact that he's found that it's helped
their tolerance with a lot of other things in their life.
It could be anything, right? It doesn't have to be run like
we. Don't have to get stuck on
running. But we, you know, we're running
podcasts. Yeah, but kids, kids run.
I mean schoolyard play, right? This idea of learning how to be
uncomfortable is a really interesting notion from Nick
here. And oh, look, I'll take you
inside for a moment because I think that, yeah, it's quickly
jumping ahead to my run week. This week I busted out the Nike
Alpha flies that I haven't used because I basically had wore
them. Yeah, wore them.
I'll jump ahead here. I wore them because they're
still sitting there. I've had them for almost a year
now. I've had probably had them for
over a year now. And they were sitting there and
I joked that I didn't feel worthy of wearing them.
The truth is I didn't really have a need to wear them.
I wasn't going out, but I thought what like, what are they
doing? They're going to drop a new
model. Just just take them for a bloody
run and I put them on and I thought to myself, let's go and
see what you can do for a 10K, right?
OK, you didn't injure yourself. No, I didn't injure myself good,
but I got 2 KS into this thing and I did a warm up and I was
probably and I'm like this is hard.
Like I was running for the first two KS of this.
I was three 55350 bucks and I was running like this is hard.
And then after two KS, I walked for two minutes and then I
turned it into basically an interval kind of efforts.
So I did another two KS and then and I thought in my head, I'm
thinking this is I'm going, I'm going.
I've bailed on this session because it got hard.
Now I didn't plan it. There's a whole bunch of
organisational things. It wasn't great training, but I
quit because it started to get really hard.
Could I have just gripped my teeth, bit down on the mouth
guard and and pushed through and seen where things end up, even
if it wasn't the result I was looking for?
And it's that notion of what Nick's talking a little bit
about here, about kids and showing them that it's you're
not always going to win. Yep.
Sometimes it's a goal of the session though, because you've
also got to know when and and and I suppose that's what with
with younger kids. Yeah.
You haven't got the maturity or or the experience to understand
and know when it's too hard and when it's not.
You know, you'll learn that over time and not just running in in
life, right. So I think that's where the kids
side come in. You may be actually like, this
is too hard. I've got to be smarter than
this. Yeah, but now you've bloody
broken the egg open. What?
I mean your first K in them. Oh, they're amazing.
They're amazing. And was that first K like?
That's under 4 minute, K yeah, under 40 minute.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, K pay. Yeah, yeah.
No, they're amazing. Were you like, Gee, this is
well, I put these on and. I am, yeah.
I remember the last time I felt like that running them.
Do you know what it felt like? The Chinese shoe?
Yeah, right. Like in a sense that I loved
running that lot of response, a lot of getting a lot back,
energy return, bounce. And they felt the same thing.
Yeah. And I was.
And although I felt far more self conscious running in the
Nike Alpha Flies than I did in the Chinese shoe, 'cause they
just. They're the bright green ones
with the big sort of burnt orange coloured sole and they
stand out. Sorry you were more self
conscious than. Hell before, Yeah, yeah.
That's interesting. Yeah, yeah, because I feel like
that's a much more recognisable shoe and I felt the weight of
expectation running in those shoes, self expectation.
But great. Love them and I'm really excited
to run more and train more in them.
Yep. And the other takeaway, and I
remember Benita talking a little bit about this, about the fact
that the Super trainers in those super shoes, whilst they are
more taxing potentially, they're also their ability to recover
quicker from hard sessions. I think if I'd run that session
in another pair of shoes, I'd be a lot, I'd be more sore today
than I am. So I'm, yeah, great shoe, a lot
of fun, really exciting to run in.
Keep an eye out for me and my bright green Alpha flies and.
Tough it out. Round chickens and I've got to
harden up. Hey, quickly, just going back to
the school thing for a minute because we did get another
message from James Andrew about the school stuff and he is a
high school PE teacher on the Gold Coast.
Courtney, he said, I can't agree more.
He said you can come and use your hard ass approach on his
sports, excellent students whenever you want.
He's given some information about where they train and what
time. So you have got an open
invitation there to go and take a hard ass approach with some of
the sports excellent students. Threw the invite back because we
actually run very similar to where we won't mention where it
is with the kids but on the same day at the same spot we actually
run half an hour. Late.
There you go. So you never know it all could
it all could meet up. I love that that.
'D be fantastic. I've got one here.
I just want to give a while. We're on listeners.
Ben Tennant sent us a video and it was windy.
Now the reason it was windy, so I'm not going to play the audio
was he was out sweeping the Ultra X England course.
So I'm tip I'm I'm assuming this is a fell run in the peak.
Yeah, it would be in the Peak District.
So what? A fell.
Run.
What's a fell run? Oh geez, I'm going to get called
out big time on this. So in pretty much running over
the the hills in the countryside in the muddy Weddy regions of
OK, like I think around Leeds some I don't know enough
information. All I know is one day I want to
go and run and experience it. OK, So think of like cross
country trail running, but it's just over the fells, from my
understanding is over the hills, right?
OK. He was wearing a pair of
Solomons. They held up well.
He talked about he was in waterproof pants.
Oh yeah. It must have been shitty and
cold, but he was doing it. Cleaning up the course, pulling
down the flags and everything else while listening to yourself
called the Suns versus Brisbane. Oh, no way.
Yes. No way is he an Aussie or is he
just interested in a F? Li have well sure, he's an
Aussie. He has to be in too many to be.
Listening to the Sun's Lions call, you'd have to be
Australian. You're just influencing.
No, I don't some overseas. Although I did have a good good
call. I've just done a quick Google.
What was his name? Ben Tennant.
Ben Shout out Ben. Thank you mate.
I'd never thought. I love my job but I never
thought my I would have a crossover point in my career
where a bloke sweeping an ultra would be listening to me call
fully that is. That's incredible.
I've done a quick Google. Fell running, also sometimes
known as hill running, is the sport of running and racing off
road up over upland country where the grading climb is a
significant component of the difficulty.
So your spot on Courtney? The name arises from the origins
of the English sport on the fells of northern Britain,
especially those in the Lake District.
Oh, there you go. Absolutely smashed it.
Now I've watched watched plenty of YouTube clips and videos on
this type of thing. And when I raced back when I was
like, I suppose around London Olympics and that when I was
racing the Brownlee brothers, yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's what they grew up doing.
Yeah. That's how they that's how they
that's, they run that that was their easy.
Like it's interesting because we talked about this a little bit
about Aussies. You know, we on the Gold Coast,
it's hot, it's hard, you know, get out in summer and train.
On the flip side, now there's a question, is it, is it hard to
get out where it's hot and steamy and humid or, or to get
out and train? Or is it actually harder when
you're living in a place like like Leeds or, you know,
somewhere up in the Northern Lakes districts where pretty
much every day is going to be freezing cold, windy, rain?
You got to ride your bike. Well, there's a does that.
Toughen you up more than the heat.
Well, there's a hypothetical. It's an answer.
You can never. It's that whole thing of like
they won. So you could probably argue, but
would they have won by more if they'd grown up in the heat?
It's that the idea of one of those unanswerable
hypotheticals, Although I think there was some weird experiment
whether someone might have tried it back in the day of like if
you took identical twins, separated them at birth.
This is a hypothetical. I'm not going to do it and put
one in with a an impoverished family, put one in with a well
to do family. Do they grow up to achieve
similar things or divergent nature, neutral, that sort of
stuff? Environment.
If you took is involved, how much of an environment or is it
just if discipline is disciplined and if you took the
Brownlee brothers and raised them here on the Gold Coast,
they. Still would have been bloody
good. Yeah, yeah.
But then as you were just talking about all that, then the
Brownlee brothers doing that fell running, Andy Buchanan
talks about Falls Creek and Bendigo and all that sort of
running. And then you look at I'm going
to forget his name. Who's the UTAUT MB weapon?
Tom Evans? No, the Killian Jenna who grew
up cross country skiing and climbing mountains.
You know, so there is something if you needed any more evidence
that he'lls pay the bills. Yeah, it's right there.
I know you want to get to a new event that is coming, but can I
just quickly I actually. Don't really, but I'm going to
bring it. Up.
OK, quickly. I want to.
I had a moment. I was at Riggs Recovery in
Karamen. I started going there a little
bit trying to use it a bit more. I had a massage a couple of
weeks back and the person M at I had a massage at Riggs said do
you do much sauna? And I was and I said no, I
don't. She's like, I think you would
benefit from it anyway. So I'm trying to embrace sauna a
little bit more at the moment. I don't know.
She just said she was. But you did your first thing is
like. Why?
Yeah, I don't know.
Anyway, I'm trying to do a little bit more sauna at the
moment and I was in the sauna just the other day at Riggs and
got chatting with this guy who I don't.
Know where this is going? No.
No, no, no, no, no, no. He told me that.
He, I said we were just having chat, he's moved up from
Melbourne and he was talking about the fact that he used to
run ultras and race Iron Man and all that stuff.
And I went and I hadn't said anything about my athletic stuff
or this or anything. He just started telling me I'm
like, oh, this is going to be an interesting conversation because
I said to him, I was considering that 100 Miller at UTA next
year. And he said when he's done 100K
race, I want to get your thoughts on his training regime.
This is what he told me. He said the longest run he did
ahead of his 100K run was 19 kilometres.
That was the longest run he went for.
It must this on the short side. Very very short side.
What? He said he was doing and this is
his technique. He was going in down and and
sauntering himself to the point of dehydration and then
training. He was taking himself to the
point of feeling like maybe he'd put 60 to 70 KS in and then
training. Each to their own, but that
sounds bloody dangerous. I don't.
I didn't. We do not advocate that, no at
all. I he told me that and I just
kind of nodded and smiled and went wow.
So there's, I mean there's different measures.
I mean the whole, not to that extreme, but before the Tokyo
World Champs has been on in the whole Australian team are up in
Cairns training to try and heat acclimatise now before a real
hot Olympics or a major championship.
You'll get guys there's there's heat chambers in Canberra at the
AIS, There's probably some around the Gold Coast as well,
somewhere where you know the treadmills are set up.
You can change all the environmental factors and do
your training in there to acclimatise, but it's done for
specific reasons in. Controlled.
In controlled environment. Purpose but.
Yeah, you know, and maybe there might be something behind once
every so often putting yourself in that uncomfortable position,
but. But as you.
As a training method, I yeah, Like, we're not, we're not
advocating that at all. Absolutely not.
Very interesting. I didn't, I didn't think you
were going to go there with that.
I don't know where you were going with it.
You started as we were. I promise next time I'm telling
you about me and a man in a sauna, I'll give you a heads up
next time. Well, not too far.
Dissimilar if I said to you the name Rhondelust.
Rhondelust Rhondelust Fitness Festival.
What? What, what?
What do you think? What comes to mind?
What it it feels Wonderlust is a
What comes to mind with Wonderlust is it feels gay and
lesbian. Mardi Gras, that's what, that's
what. Because I'm pretty sure there's
an event called Wunderlust. Yeah, right.
I didn't think you'll go on there either.
So. You asked me what came to mind.
Two out of two. You asked me what came to mind.
That's what came to mind, yeah. What is Runderlust?
That's a good question, Liam. It's 57 days away.
It is Australia's first fitness festival like no other.
Run as far as you can, as far as you like on A1 kilometre loop
over 4 hours. You can do that solo or with
your crew. Take on epic fitness challenges
and vibe to live music, DJ sets or with a good party under the
stars that celebrate fitness comedian good vibes.
This is up in Noosa. I've heard about this.
Yeah. So it's from the mob that.
Isn't this up in Noosa? It is in Noosa.
Yeah. This is from the mob that do
like, I don't know what they call it, luxury escapes, but for
fitness people, gotcha, You know, like, you know, they take
a few influences away. Yeah, I think Andrew, you know
he's a Sydney, but paps, paps, Yep, that that style of training
and they take people, people pay to go away.
Do yo go all that stuff. That's my understanding.
So this is their event. OK, Came across my desk a little
while ago. I'm just.
I've just jumped on the website. Just be aware Red Bull's partner
this. How did you see that it's?
Runthelast.com dot AU Meet our partners LSKD Active Escapes, Dr
Hydrate, RACV News Resort, Red Bull.
Well, great. I'm not gonna change what I was
saying. I know I wasn't gonna I wasn't
gonna edition. I wasn't gonna edition.
I'm I'll just say it's an it's an interesting one.
But no, what got me was I've had a few people send their in like
this. Their what do you call the sell
the sales video like common experiences and it looks like
I'm like that looks amazing, but this has never been on.
So the content's just been cut together to get you like, you
know what I mean? You know what I mean?
So there's a highlight reel highlight when it's never
happened. No.
Wow, that, I mean look great marketing, well done.
Are you interested? Well done.
I'm having a look at it right now, it the highlight reel, the
cuts of it, it looks fun. It looks really fun.
Run the Last is Australia's first fitness festival like no
other. Run as far as you can on a 1K
track over 4 hours solo hang. On, hang on, hang on.
I'm going to backtrack what I said then because I'm just
reading the thing. Welcome to run the last Fitness
Festival 2. So it has happened, so maybe
they have done it before. And Abby Holmes, who I know
through footy, not personally but I know through the AFL
scene, she's involved with it. So I'm going to take that back.
So it's a fitness I. Don't know enough about?
Oh yeah. This is this appears to be an
extension on the sort of the AG one night of the PBS, the LSKD
chase the five. It appears to be an extension on
that where you're running a bit further, but then you're
remaining in the area. Oh look, I'll be fascinated to
see how it goes because I wonder if.
How much is a ticket? How much would you pay?
There's a question. Oh, here we go.
So it's limited to 1500 athletes.
That's solo run 7070 bucks. Oh, no, no.
Oh yeah. And pairs run is 120.
Yeah, but then you must pay for each because then it's the
hybrid. The the hybrid SIM is 70 bucks,
the dash 60 so you must pay per and the.
Hybrid SIM is a high Rock, You can just.
Be a VIP for 300 and that must just get you OK the full whack
300 bucks, it's cheap right? So here's here's what I would
say 70 bucks, I'm there. I'm doing that for 70 bucks. 70
bucks is a really accessible price to participate in
something like this and 30 bucks is a get along and and hang out
ticket. Really well priced, well done.
Run the lust you've you've trying to create something new,
trying to create some hype about it and you've made it affordable
and accessible. I don't know how much does Hyrox
cost to enter because $70.00 for what appears to be run the last
version of a Hyrox race. They're calling it the hybrid
SIM, but it's it's essentially 81K runs with a bunch of
activities in between it. I just did a quick Google,
expect to pay over 100 to 200 U.S. dollars around 150 to 300
AUD. So you're paying half that to do
a run the last version of High Rocks.
Well done. Run the last.
While you go. When's it on I?
Don't know. It's on the 22nd of November up
in Newson. Should we?
Should we go up? Oh, your Red Bull's a partner?
Yeah, Yeah. You go there, OK.
Well, I I would prefer to do the cut here.
Oh, yeah. Is that the same way?
I don't know. It's in.
I think it's in November as well. 50K.
Yeah, they take it. And do that.
Too they cut down each lap, start with 200 or so, cut down a
person or few each. One point 5K.
Yes, I love the cut. They even give you a toilet.
Stop at 10 Ki here. Oh, that's so I can do that
because that's the weekend before Noosa and I'm not going
to be doing this year this year. So I can definitely go and do
that. Should we do the cut this year?
I would like to do the cut. Let's do the cut.
We'll reach out to Steve. Is it Steve?
Steve. Yeah.
You can't remember, can you? Yeah, but I would no, we'd pay
to do the. Cut.
We'll reach out to Steve. No.
Yeah, we'll reach. Out to Steve, we support local
events. Then we would I will pay to go
along and participate. I quickly if you're following
the footy today, Brisbane to win Norm Smith battle Will Ashcroft,
he'll go back to back. Two years in a row.
I think these guys starting to play great footy at the right
time again, if the Lions get on top and this becomes a free
flowing end to end game. Will Ashcroft's ad Lib style of
football is set for September. He showed the last year and I
think he just attracts the eye when he's playing great football
I think and then suddenly this is a 23 year old kid with two
Norm Smiths and two premiership medallions and he goes to
another stratosphere. There you go.
You heard it from the from the X, from the X Triple M
commentator. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, it's good to be back. It's going to be back.
It's always better that way. And if you haven't, listen Dan
Atkins coming up and like I said, I'm going to start
comparing some training sessions.
So for those who are interested in training, yeah, have some
info now quickly. Before we do go, I've got one
more thing. I need you.
I need you to make it. I need you to put your name to
something. Courtney Atkinson.
OK, what are we doing? Because I've just made an
investment and I need to know that I'm not, I haven't.
I'm not already dated by the cool kids.
OK, so clothing. Yes, it's clothing based
salomons. Yes, I've invested in a pair of
the Ace AG, SS, ACS, ACS. The Comfy St.
Because the XT6 is my fat, my fat feet don't fit into them.
Are your inmate where them into the office.
They haven't. They're not uncool yet.
No. OK.
They're going like. Hotcakes, they're not dated.
I don't want to be. I don't want people to make fun
of me for having. Not dated.
There's it's still, it's still surprising me how many people
are wearing around Solomon. I haven't worn them.
Yet to the shoes. OK, wait them in the office
mate. Every 25 year old you walk past
it is going to go at least. As long as the 25 year olds
think I'm cool. When you get a head nod, you'll
know. What's going on?
Righto There you go, enjoy your weekend and we will see you
next. Week.
See you next week.
