If you're watching the video, 13 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,600 Courtney hasn't had a stroke. He's just, he's just look back. 14 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,680 Can you just, can you tell?

Down everybody out there will 18 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:44,640 sympathise with. I didn't ask for an extra hour 19 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,000 and Liam's pushed me. Terrible. 20 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,720 We got things to talk about, things to get to. 21 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,440 Firstly, Australia Day event, where were you? 22 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,120 I thought I'd see you. No, barely runs where? 23 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,800 Did I do Australia Day? Where were you? 24 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,240 Where were you? I was expecting. 25 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,800 You know what? Australia Day. 26 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,920 Mm Hmm. Yeah, one, I'm not happy that 27 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,800 Australia Day fell on my normal Monday morning swim social 28 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,880 group. Yes, because we missed out on it 29 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,200 that way. Great event though. 30 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,120 I was down at the Spit doing a run. 31 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,880 OK, so my son had rowing training at 5:00 AM and I 32 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,240 dropped, did the drop off and what if he went out to the 33 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,680 forest? I don't have to check my Strava. 34 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,240 I can't remember exactly. What I can remember at Australia 35 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,520 Day is we had a great day out here on the lake just. 36 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,080 Perfect condition. Perfect conditions. 37 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,200 It was a beautiful day last. Sunday the water was I was out 38 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,120 on the Broadwater when I jumping Penway the day before and it was 39 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,680 busy. But Australia Day was 40 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,080 ridiculous, so it should be. That's the that's the day when 41 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,120 it's conditions like it was on the Gold Coast, the barely swim 42 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,520 run event. Yeah, tell me all your. 43 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,640 Put on by put on by friend of the show Ty Dalker, it was it 44 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,760 did an amazing job. You're the. 45 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,480 You're the headline for this. Well, right, this is where we 46 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,640 need to. This is what I want to address. 47 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,400 Put on by Ty Dalker, headline by. 48 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,240 By by Liam. Flanagan by Hot Tomatoes. 49 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,680 Yeah, so there's a couple of stories here, firstly stitched 50 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,080 up by the Gold Coast Bulletin, the paper, the local rag up 51 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,960 here. I wasn't aware of this until you 52 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,640 sent me. Well, I would never have been, 53 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:18,480 but my dad, who still reads papers made me made me aware of 54 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,160 it. I you send me this message of a 55 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,400 photo of me from last year's event. 56 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,800 Yep. Now, this time last year I was 57 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,600 going all right, but I wasn't in great nick. 58 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,600 And in these runs from events, you get to my it's like you're 59 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,720 wearing a, a surf series, Rashi. So you're saying you weren't 60 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,080 happy with your parents? I was not. 61 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,520 Happy with the I did not clear that photo and they've gone with 62 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,760 the caption of Triple M Gold's Liam Flanagan will be taking to 63 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,440 the start line for the barely swim run. 64 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,880 I didn't compete either, so it's fake news. 65 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:55,600 But also not only that reading it Liam Flanagan headline act 66 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,880 and then by the way, Matt Hauser might show and but he will be up 67 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,040 against it against defending champion. 68 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,040 The bloke who won it again, Whose name? 69 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,440 Copeland. Brandon Copeland. 70 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,000 I was wrong. That's the ridiculous part about 71 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,640 this. Good mates go to the distance Is 72 00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:14,720 the good mates to go distance is the headline of this article. 73 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,520 It opens with Matt Hauser is the reigning world triathlon 74 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,240 champion, but he won't be favourite going into the annual 75 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,080 Australia Day Billy Swim run if he opts to toe the line. 76 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,680 If you stop there and you see the photo of me, it makes it 77 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,880 seem like I'm about to knock Matt Hauser off in a run swim 78 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,360 event. Yeah, well it it wasn't me. 79 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,120 Brandon Copeland, six time champion, won it again was very 80 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,520 impressive. Matt did not compete. 81 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,440 Matt Hauser didn't take the line, nor did I Matt, I assume, 82 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,440 pulled out because he was nervous that I was going to 83 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,200 knock him off. He saw the picture and went, 84 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,920 jeez, he's looking fit. But I, I went down such a great 85 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,360 event, amazing event. Shout out to Ty and the whole 86 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,120 crew that put that event on. Do you know, just quickly while 87 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,880 we're talking about these sort of events, Josh Minogue, he's a 88 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,760 great commentator. I was here. 89 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,560 Josh was Josh was doing it, Josh was doing the the finish line 90 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,240 and start line with Ty and Ty's great as well. 91 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,079 Yeah, but I listen to Josh and Josh is a former calling out a 92 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,000 gold winner. He's, you know, fantastic 93 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,600 competitor. He runs the sub three marathon 94 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,720 as well. But listening to Josh, the way 95 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,280 he talks about the sport on the coverage of the Shoreham 96 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:29,960 partners on series, I think he's a fantastic sports commentator. 97 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,640 I think he does a really, really good job as. 98 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,680 Soon, as you said, then he runs the sub three and he's an Iron 99 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,520 Man upper body man or like a favourite. 100 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,640 Exactly gotta do it. I'm sick of this apex this way. 101 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,320 We are gonna talk about to the AP S the Jesus. 102 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,120 Great event.

Ty did make one area when he I 105 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,560 got down there and he grabbed me for a quick chat on the 106 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,240 microphone and he introduced me as hot tomatoes. 107 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,120 Liam Flanagan.

I will let's let's segue into 188 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,400 the event, the next event I guess, which is the T100 fast 189 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,960 approaching the 10K race. I bumped into Trent from Gold 190 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,640 Coast Physio and he he's target on my back. 191 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,760 Yeah, he's. For this 10K, Yep, well and 192 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,880 truly 10K. You've got a few there who are 193 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,280 racing you. Yeah. 194 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,600 So do you feel? Some pressure. 195 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,960 No, I'm, I'm gonna make this balloon thing happen, though. 196 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,400 I'm gonna, I'm gonna make this balloon. 197 00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,400 We don't. We don't want excuses about you 198 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,480 had to carry a balloon. Aerodynamics. 199 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,400 There will be no excuse about balloon. 200 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,040 In fact, maybe that's the novelty of. 201 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,480 It so on the balloon and we're just gonna have can you beat me? 202 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,120 Hey, tell me what I should put on the balloon? 203 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,440 You're not gonna really run like a balloon. 204 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,320 I'm not. Why not? 205 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,040 I'm not gonna allow you to run. With a, why not? 206 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,000 I'm happy you can run with a shirt if you want to. 207 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000 If you want to print a shirt like Can you beat me? 208 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,360 I'd like to can we can we game a fight somehow so that if I do 209 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,680 wear a shirt, it's like a pin in the tail on the donkey shirt 210 00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:44,840 where as you run past you have to put your name like a. 211 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,200 Sticker Yeah, I'm going to put my foot down. 212 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,200 No, No balloons. No balloons, No balloons. 213 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,360 Such a. Small sport? 214 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,560 No, no. The the Peter 100. 215 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:53,880 Run problem. Fast approaching. 216 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,480 I thought it was interesting at the moment because with all the 217 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,720 despite the when we'll get to a bit to the trail, I've got some 218 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,920 trail updates for everybody because I've had a lot of people 219 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,360 hitting me up asking about how the mile is going. 220 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,760 I've got some updates that's coming up. 221 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,520 I'm still trying to incorporate a tempo interval session into my 222 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,000 week. Yep, my Monday runs at the 223 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,600 moment are I'm I'm running. Fast. 224 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,720 So give us the example. Well, just do what was what was 225 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,960 the last? One you did did two weeks ago, 226 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,000 it was a Mona. I just said I put a Mona session 227 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,280 in. Most recently I went with AI, 228 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,560 did 12 KS, I did 4 KS sort of a cruising warm up pace. 229 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:34,480 Got a 5 minutes 515 then I did the next 6 at sub 430 pace. 230 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,160 I just put in some like for me which I probably averaged around 231 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,080 420 / 6 KS and then did a 2K warm like just cool down. 232 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:47,320 So for the Mona you average. Sorry so that that was the Mona 233 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:53,440 I I was trying to keep my 92nd minute long intervals around sub 234 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,120 4 minute case. But this is most recently on my 235 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,640 Monday session. I did A12K run, 4K warm up, six 236 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,960 Ki guess tempo you'd call it around 420 pace and then a 2K 237 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,800 cooldown. So I'm still trying to keep some 238 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,280 speed runs in my week because basically my week is focused on 239 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,320 kilometres and elevation. So that's interesting. 240 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,920 So you choose in that type of session to pick a distance to 241 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,080 run. So you go off your watch to go 242 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,400 I'm going to run 6K, Yeah. And you run to a instead of 243 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,480 going I'm going to run for a duration 20 minutes. 244 00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:29,240 Yeah. I mean, there's no right or 245 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,680 wrong. Yeah, I just, it's interesting 246 00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:33,120 because like. Well, it's, I guess it hasn't 247 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,920 been those speed sessions haven't been so much a a 248 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:43,440 planned. They haven't been a a planned 249 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,640 training session. It's not a training session as 250 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,480 such. It's me mentally breaking up the 251 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,280 case they're on. Yeah, because most like, you 252 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,560 know, yesterday I did 11 KS at 5:15 pace. 253 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,400 This weekend I'll do back to back kind of 20 K plus days with 254 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,240 elevation. So they'll be walking in there 255 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,280 and they'll be and it's, it's a grind. 256 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,920 Yep. I'm choosing to incorporate that 257 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,480 Monday session for fun. So you do that Monday though off 258 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,840 say like this weekend you said you're going to do two 20s. 259 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,120 Yep. You then try and run the Monday 260 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,640 off. Yeah, that's risky. 261 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,480 Why is that? You want to give yourself like 262 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,400 treating the long run. So even if you're running a 263 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,120 longer run easier, yeah, it's still should be a fair bit 264 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,320 longer than what you'd normally do. 265 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,480 And so you still want to allow the lakes to have a recovery 266 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,600 after that if you can jump into too much speed, so. 267 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,040 You'd say take the Monday off. Yeah, you. 268 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,320 And then run back to Tuesday. OK, Yeah. 269 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:40,600 Oh, I'll just try that. Just just risk avoidance when 270 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,160 we're talking about. Good point going down here. 271 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,800 Good point, especially if you do a like 2 longer days. 272 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,200 Well, this is be the first weekend I try for two longer 273 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:47,720 days. That's the. 274 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:48,760 Plan. You definitely want to give 275 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,440 yourself bit of space and. I I think regardless of days the 276 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,760 point is at the moment I'm trying to just include keep that 277 00:12:54,760 --> 00:13:00,200 tempo E session for fun. Yep, because running slow is 278 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,720 what I need to be doing now. It's time on feet and it's. 279 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,640 Just breaks it up. But keeping that tempo run 280 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,840 earlier in my week is fun. I'm enjoying keeping up that 281 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,360 that speed run in my week. I hear you. 282 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,280 I'm not. We'll get back. 283 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,640 I'll keep keep going on yours, but I'll just jump in because I, 284 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,840 I hear you 100%. And a very similar thing. 285 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:24,400 I mean, I've been in Perth for this week and I was like, I'd 286 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,640 done my, I'd push my speed session to Monday because I knew 287 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,080 I'd have to travel on the Tuesday. 288 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,760 So Wednesday morning I got off and I'm like, what am I going to 289 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:32,720 do? I'm on my own. 290 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,480 I'm, you know, I haven't really got anything too planned, But 291 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,880 also I don't want to just run an hour. 292 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,760 No. So what I ended up doing was 293 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:44,880 running 8K around Swan Lake or what's the, what's the main lake 294 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,640 in Perth there in the city. I ran around the path around 295 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,040 there for 8K. So I did pick a distance and 296 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,680 then tempoed back and just, you know, I've, I've actually ran 297 00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:57,520 into a heart rate, but just purely, and that was just mental 298 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,600 to get, you know, I didn't really have a plan to do a 299 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,920 session, but it was like at least broke it up for me. 300 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,120 It's still it. We sort of, I love, I love the 301 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,000 way you and I talk about running. 302 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,920 I really enjoy talking about running like this because I 303 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,160 think we go off into specific niches, we talk shoes and all 304 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,160 that sort of stuff. But I think we still come back 305 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,640 to the underpinning thing about running, which is that it's good 306 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,960 for you, It's good for your head, it's good for your body. 307 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,280 And, and, and it doesn't, not every session needs to be 308 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,840 targeted to achieving a physical training goal. 309 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,280 Sometimes just good for your head. 310 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,520 Yeah, go and run fast or run long or do something. 311 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,480 Mix it up a little bit. Going back to the T100 though, 312 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,480 because we're fast approaching it's, I actually had a meeting 313 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,040 with, there's a, for those that aren't on the Gold Coast or 314 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,000 aren't familiar with the Goldie, there's a big supermarket, big 315 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,160 shopping centre area called Paradise Centre, right on the 316 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,440 front basically where the Surfers Paradise sign is. 317 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,280 It's on Cavil Mall, right? And we actually had a meeting 318 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,480 there for for some work stuff. And I was talking with someone 319 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,400 who's involved with the Paradise Centre and they are pumped. 320 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,640 Are they pumped? They're so excited about this 321 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,640 event. It's been. 322 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,520 It's been busy down there. Oh, when did I run? 323 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:09,880 Probably a couple of weekends ago. 324 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,520 I ran through there. I think it might have been like 325 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,400 a Saturday arvo or a Sunday arvo and how they've they've, you 326 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,600 can't drive through there. Anymore pedestrian mall now. 327 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,120 Yeah, and they've put like nearly like a beach chairs in 328 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,240 and sand across the road and a whole range of things. 329 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,720 It was pumping. It was pumping like I ran 330 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,520 through there kind of, you know, when you're running in a, we've 331 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,640 talked about this running in a spot you probably shouldn't be. 332 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,800 Yep, I kind of ran through there going you, you're a bit of a way 333 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,440 to run through here right at the moment. 334 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,120 Like I should shouldn't have ducked down the side Rd. 335 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,800 I'm pretty sure it remains A pedestrian mall through to the 336 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,160 end of March. OK. 337 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,160 Because there's a trial, right? It is a trial that they've 338 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,840 extended. So I think for the T100 it is 339 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,520 likely it'll still be a pedestrian. 340 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,600 So there'll be cars or anything on that, which is great news. 341 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:57,520 But I was also speaking to the big boss of the T100 here on the 342 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,040 Gold Coast who also runs the Gold Coast Marathon and the 343 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,640 excitement continues to build. Like this is going to be such a, 344 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,920 an, I don't think people realise what is coming like in a, in a 345 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,760 good way. Like it's one of those things 346 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,960 where some people will know what it's about, some people know 347 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,560 what it looks like overseas and at different events, but I think 348 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,120 they'll be really surprised in a good way at what this event is 349 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,000 for the Gold Coast. Yeah. 350 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:26,960 Do you know what I like about it? 351 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440 Is that obviously the face of it, it's this triathlon series 352 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,440 which has got global appeal. It has global appeal mainly for 353 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,640 long distance. So like the 100 KS. 354 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,400 Yep, more long distance athletes. 355 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,680 Then they've obviously got the Olympic distance triathlon, 356 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,160 which attracts the more localised triathletes who may 357 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,320 not want to go up to that long distance but then completely 358 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,240 separate. You don't have to, you don't 359 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,440 have to have a care about triathlon and you can come and 360 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,480 join in and just treat it like we like to a degree as a run and 361 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,120 it's a 10K run to us. And that's what we're turning up 362 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,400 for. And I'm loving at the moment 363 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,839 because what I'm, what I'm realising is 10K is a great 364 00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:08,319 distance. You can kind of make a last 365 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:11,640 minute call on. I can jump in, you know, I can 366 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,640 still do it now. You can still end up and jump in 367 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,599 and race your mates and it's over a distance where you know 368 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,240 you don't have. It's not like the marathon where 369 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,200 you've had to put in the 16 weeks or 20 weeks of prep. 370 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,280 You can just get in there and have a shot. 371 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,359 And I'm hearing a lot of guys at the like when I say last minute, 372 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,920 we're getting into the last months kind of starting now to 373 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,240 go, oh, am I coming? Actually, I'll race Liam. 374 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,960 Well, I won't be wearing a balloon, Courtney said. 375 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,720 No 20, just remind everybody who's jumping in. 376 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,280 The 22nd of March is the date of this 10K race. 377 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,240 It's getting close. I need more time. 378 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,840 It's 80 bucks, which from a race entry perspective is so 379 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,200 affordable in on the running landscape these days. 380 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,360 We're seeing prices for events get up there for 80 bucks. 381 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,400 That is, I mean, that's a night out. 382 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,920 It's it's less than a night out for most people. 383 00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:03,440 So you save one night out. You sign up for this 10K run on 384 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,600 Sunday the 22nd of March. If you are going to register, 385 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,280 make sure you register as as part of in the beginning when 386 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,040 you do register, and we will, we'll see you there on the day. 387 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,360 And that 80 bucks gets your T-shirt, the finish's medal, 388 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,160 results, all that sort of stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all that. 389 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,960 All entries include a raised T shirt and a finish's medal as 390 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,400 well. So for 80 bucks, let's say 40 391 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,840 bucks for the price of the T shirt. 392 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,160 And then you get to show off to all your mates at work on the 393 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,320 Monday morning 'cause you're wearing it. 394 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,800 You should be like, OK, so T100, are you prepared to clear, to 395 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,200 declare your time yet? No. 396 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,560 When will you declare your time 0? 397 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,720 You've got to declare OK, no I. Don't need to declare it, you 398 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,480 have to. I told you I'm in a race. 399 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,880 OK. I throw my glove down. 400 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,800 Well, you throw it at Tim. Yes, exactly. 401 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,520 I throw my glove down and and the jewel's been accepted. 402 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,400 Have you heard from Tim? Yes, this week. 403 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,520 What's the chat like been like? Yeah, yeah, I've got some info 404 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,240 about because he's chimed in about our Apex stuff as well. 405 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,320 But let's get to the end of it. The the the chit chat around the 406 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,200 run. Like I'm not going into this as 407 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,240 a favourite. You're kidding. 408 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,400 No, no, no. You're the, You're the outside 409 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,800 I. Believe I'm the underdog here? 410 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,880 Oh. Hold on, hold on. 411 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,400 But is this one of those things, like, is this one of those 412 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,560 things where, like, you know, the Brisbane Lions put them to 413 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,160 try to position Wayne Bennett always positions his team as the 414 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,200 underdog? Maybe, yeah. 415 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,400 But. No, no, no. 416 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,120 In this case, I if we went on times as of today. 417 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:40,080 I'm you're the outside. I'm the outside OK alright, I 418 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,720 reckon I'm I'm a decent out C1. 100 go sign up, challenge your 419 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,720 mate, make it a race. This is. 420 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,000 Challenge your mate, challenge your mate. 421 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,280 That's that's what, that's what we had the fun bit of it. 422 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,840 Like, you know, times, times mean times don't matter, right? 423 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,920 Like for people who are interested in actually 424 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,240 competing, times matter. But racing's way more. 425 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,400 But on the scoreboard there's no pictures on scorecards and if 426 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,160 your scorecard over your mate reads one, nil. 427 00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:04,960 Yep. And then there's there's no 428 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,000 debating over this Strava time, finish time. 429 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,080 I have to run too far around the water station or none of this. 430 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,080 It's just like, did you win or not? 431 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,120 Yeah, yeah, I love that. That's great. 432 00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:19,240 All right, I'm gonna let you take the lead on Apex athletes 433 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,400 because I feel like you've had enough of it already. 434 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,320 We've only been talking about this thing for about a week and 435 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,360 1/2 this. Is this is quickly falling into 436 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:31,280 the the hybrid? Oh no, yeah, I mean the the the 437 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,160 chat around it for sure. Catch So for those playing catch 438 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,320 up, maybe this is your first time at it in the beginning and 439 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,200 if we if it is welcome, subscribe, you'll love it. 440 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,280 Apex Athlete was a concept introduced by English fellow by 441 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,960 the name of Spencer Matthews. The proposition was an athlete 442 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,600 that can run a sub 255 marathon. 250. 443 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,000 Is it sub 250? Yep. 444 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,960 Jeez. Sub 250 marathon and bench 445 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,520 press. 110 kilos, 10 reps Yeah, one set. 446 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:07,680 Yeah, So everyone who's interested is more hybrid. 447 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,280 This is this is an interesting runners, runners aren't 448 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,640 interested. We're probably we're probably 449 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,120 losing people at the moment talking about this. 450 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,360 But there is a certain group who are very, very committed and 451 00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:20,680 interested in this. And it's that same group that we 452 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,760 talk about with the the higher up there. 453 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,720 Yeah, I mean it's higher. Well, because, and this is the 454 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,560 way I looked at it is you kind of you're trying to do 2 things, 455 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,000 you're trying to average out two things, right. 456 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:35,960 Yeah. So. 457 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:41,080 So you're mastering none? Yeah, you're right, now that I 458 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,320 think about it like that. So 'cause the, the, the, the 459 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,440 purpose of it is to do it at the same time, right? 460 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,600 So what I'm here getting, I mean, I've got messages all 461 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,840 week. I've got a few here that we'll, 462 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,040 we'll go through. But I'm getting people writing 463 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,960 go, I can do this for bench press. 464 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,960 I can run this, but no one's actually kind of computing. 465 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,720 But I've got to do it at the same time because no one really, 466 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,560 no one attempts that. They're all talking about my 467 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:05,800 PBS. Right. 468 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,480 OK, I do believe after chatting to some people, and this is my 469 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,040 personal thought of just taking in the information because like 470 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,600 I said last week, I've got no idea about bench pressing. 471 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,120 Actually Tim did give me a, a guide on this. 472 00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:21,800 Do you want to know what I, he reckons I could do? 473 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,600 Yes, please bench press. Hang on, hang on, where are we? 474 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:34,080 He reckons I'd be benching 45 to 50 for 10, no, for 10. 475 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,320 Don't laugh, don't laugh Liam, because you've also got caught. 476 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,360 I've also had people, I'm not going to mention names, but I've 477 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:46,200 also had people calling you out. Sorry. 478 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,680 Saying there's There's no way. We need proof that you can do 1. 479 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,840 10 in one Rep for one Rep we. Need we need a video proof on 480 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,360 that? I've had a few people call you 481 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,360 out on that. But yeah, Tim reckons I could go 482 00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:07,400 probably 45 to 50 for 10. OK 1.5 body weight bench for one 483 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,920 Rep is elite in standard high performance. 484 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,720 Sport say that again. So 1.5 of your body weight. 485 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,440 So one 1.5 times your body weight. 486 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,280 Yep. For one Rep is elite standard in 487 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,120 high performance sport. OK, So what are you? 488 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:24,440 Oh. I'm about 78 kilos right now. 489 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,080 What's the mass on that? 35 + 4 is 39, so I said 117. 490 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,400 I can't do that. Well, I can't do one. 491 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,160 You're close. I can't do 1.5 but. 492 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,960 You're close. You're you're, you're elite. 493 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,800 You're I'm calling that elite Liam. 494 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,920 I'm saying though, the 250's too easy in this comp. 495 00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:48,440 You don't think the the running benchmark's high enough? 496 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,280 I think the run you think we need to pivot the running 497 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,600 benchmark and adjust the weightlifting benchmark. 498 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,200 All right. I like this. 499 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,080 Yeah. OK. 500 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,120 What would you pivot the rundown time because? 501 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,720 I called. I called out a few bigger fellas 502 00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,240 and like to see what they thought on this. 503 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,600 Yeah, and I was actually surprised at how quickly they'd 504 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,800 all run marathons. OK, so you think the running 505 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,320 benchmark? I think they've like as like 506 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:16,520 really, I mean when I say larger guys like just. 507 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,400 Solid big frames. Like strong dudes, like they're 508 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,320 doing the marathon element of it a lot easier than the the 10 509 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:24,720 reps. Gotcha. 510 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,560 So I believe it should be more lots if you're talking about 511 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,520 like the elite of the lead 50 in the world and maybe it needs to 512 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,480 be skewed down towards 2 under 24240. 513 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,520 Yeah, yeah. With, with the equivalent of 514 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,400 what is seems to be correct on the benchmark for the the world. 515 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,800 And and then we will have no one achieving it. 516 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,440 I love it. No, no, no, no, I I truly 517 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,080 believe people will still achieve it. 518 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,760 But we're talking about those finite numbers. 519 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,200 I actually the running's too. Easy. 520 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,520 Too easy. For what they are, same. 521 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,400 That's good luck that we mentioned last week. 522 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,200 Some questions. Yeah, he ended up, we messaged 523 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,840 him last week in the chat. He got back to me and he was 524 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,440 like, yeah, he didn't believe he he was probably in that like 525 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,800 he'd have to train to do that. But he reckons he's closer to 526 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,760 the weights than he would be ever to the 250. 527 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,400 OK. But he did call out and he said 528 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,520 Ethan Reed. Yeah, Big East. 529 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,960 Might be the one guy he thinks they. 530 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,920 Could run the time and lift the weights. 531 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,720 Might with the right training and the right. 532 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,600 Fit This is Ethan Reid, the Unicorn who that won the 2K time 533 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,080 trial at the Suns preseason. He's a 200 centimetre unit who 534 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:34,120 runs a 555 in the 2K time trial. Yep just quickly I have messaged 535 00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:38,120 my gym, I have messaged momentum and said please remind me to 536 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:42,280 attempt A1 by 110K Rep next week on the bench press with video. 537 00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:44,800 I will bring the video proof next week. 538 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,200 To all you haters out there, all you doubters. 539 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,600 And if I don't bring it, it's 'cause I couldn't get it done. 540 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,720 Talking about talking about haters is a good segue to around 541 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,920 the haters. And keeping on this topic, did 542 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,280 you see Justin Truitt? Yeah, yeah. 543 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,600 And he's. This feels like the apex athlete 544 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,880 has turned into the Justin Truitt like concept because 545 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,600 everybody's referencing him. Yeah. 546 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:09,200 Are they? Yeah. 547 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,000 Well, they. So Jacobs wrote in and said, you 548 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,560 know, he's the one guy that he reckons he could, you know, on 549 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,440 the planet that could do it, obviously now. 550 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,120 This is the son of Cam. Cam Hanes. 551 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,560 Yep. True Joey roles. 552 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:21,760 Yep. Brian Yep. 553 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,400 So I actually listened on the way home. 554 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,080 I got into the airport late last night and listened to the 555 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,560 podcast with Cam about this on the way home last night. 556 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,520 And look, I he he's just putting it out there and going for a 557 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,800 goal. Like he hasn't gone anywhere 558 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,080 near that at this stage, but he's saying like I've got two 559 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,560 years. I'm gonna he was it when he 560 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,080 broke the 24 hour pull up record? 561 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:51,320 Was that Caines at that time, Caine Eckstein's or someone else 562 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:57,000 Broken it, I think. Truitt took it off Goggins. 563 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,080 There's different. I know Kane Eckstein had a pull 564 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,040 up world record. I can't quite keep track of 565 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,520 which one he had, but I know that Goggins had one, I know 566 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,320 that Truett had one, and. He went after Goggins OK. 567 00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:12,400 But did Kane? Kane had a pull up world record. 568 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,320 He did it at PAC Fair I. Thought it was the 20. 569 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:14,960 Four. It might be. 570 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,040 Yeah, it might be. I'll look it up anyway. 571 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,680 They're. Calling him out as like one that 572 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,160 you know, possibly is in this other area and then the other 573 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,200 one was Jared Shaw wrote in. He loved episodes every week. 574 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,560 But he's an ex footy player right? 575 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,360 Local footy player and the footy players all love this one as he 576 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,120 plays in the area. Like even the elite players as 577 00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:35,600 well he was saying. He reckons that in the mid 90s, 578 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,360 even into the early 2000s you'd would have found more players 579 00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:41,720 being able to bench that. He reckons they were, like 580 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,320 always, stronger. At that point, yeah. 581 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,120 But you know, with the running game over the last 15 years, 582 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,920 they obviously carried, yeah, carried a lot less. 583 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,920 Yeah, spot on. Kane did have it. 584 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,000 True, it took it back. So he broke Kane's. 585 00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:59,600 He broke Kane's record. Kane had in 2016. 586 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,800 Kane had the in 2014. He broke the world record for 587 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,360 pull ups. He lost it in 2016. 588 00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:13,600 He got it back doing 7620. Truitt now holds the Truitt 589 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,680 Haynes now holds holds that world record 10,000. 590 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,800 He did in 24 hours 10,000 and one pull ups. 591 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,120 Sorry, I was saying Justin Truitt. 592 00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:24,920 Truitt. True, just Truitt is his 593 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,960 Instagram handle. True Kane is is is his name. 594 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,960 But yeah, so Kane that's hey speaks to the athlete Kane Kane 595 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,000 XL and he is an animal. Just also shows the power of 596 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:42,360 America like you know, the way and we we talk about them all. 597 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,360 It's not like campaigns now, Truitt and you know, Jelly roll 598 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,560 all these guys in America, just the like the audience and how 599 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,080 you know, big it is and Kane was in that you know, we're talking 600 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,440 Goggins Kane and then. Kane next time is that guy he. 601 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,320 Is that guy, but he hasn't got what I'm saying is being down 602 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,360 here in ounces you just don't get necessarily the access or 603 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,320 the platform to be able to go out and we. 604 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,360 This is something which I think we the nature of social media 605 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,240 with fitness. Fitness has never been more of 606 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,600 an industry than it is now, right? 607 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,960 Fitness is an industry now. It's not Nike and these brands 608 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,160 have always been big. But now just being fit in itself 609 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,200 can be a business. And I think Kane's probably 610 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,200 like, if you were to look around Australia in terms of people 611 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,160 that have made being fit a business, Kane's probably a good 612 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,000 example of someone who was an elite athlete, won the calling. 613 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,000 Like he's, you know, there's no questioning his calibre. 614 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,680 But now he's gone away and he's involved with Doctor Hydra and 615 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,640 he's taken the idea of being a fit person and made it into a 616 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,360 business for himself. So, but you're right, we just, I 617 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,920 mean, if it, if it comes down to sheer numbers, Australians are 618 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,040 never going to be able to compete against the American 619 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,320 machine because it's just more of them. 620 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,720 And they just, and they also do it differently. 621 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,240 It's they don't have that tall poppy syndrome that, that we 622 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,920 have here in Australia, which I think is, is not as bad as it 623 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,360 once was, But we still have that notion of stay humble. 624 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,160 Don't you know? Never, you know, never get too 625 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,880 happy with who you are and where you're at? 626 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:15,560 Yeah, I mean, if Truitt was an Aussie and did that, what would 627 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,280 have been the reaction? Oh, if true, he would be 628 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,080 absolutely crucified. Yeah, different, different 629 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,280 mentalities, right? That country, different culture, 630 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,080 and I'm not saying one's better than the other, but it's just 631 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,240 different. Well, it's different. 632 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,280 I mean, it's a lot more positive over there, but they were 633 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,440 talking this of this podcast. I was listening to you last 634 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,680 night. They were talking about a lot 635 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:41,080 of, I suppose there's runners who they call it a gatekeeping. 636 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,920 I don't know what. That's a new word to me, which 637 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,920 has only happened in the last year or two. 638 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000 And it's like a social media phenomenon word, isn't it? 639 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,600 Gatekeeping, gatekeeping, gatekeeping running like. 640 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,200 Yeah. Whatever. 641 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,440 But yeah, yeah, he's obviously got a few runners out of got 642 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,440 their nose. Out now speaking about running, 643 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,960 going back to taking him back to the, to the running side of 644 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,720 things quickly. I do want to, I mean, last week 645 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,240 we mentioned I proposed the idea of Bunnings getting behind a 646 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,400 marathon here in Australia because in Kyoto Nintendo had 647 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,000 embraced that. Kathleen has messaged us, 648 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,760 commented the Cadbury Marathon in Hobart has been around since 649 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,480 the 80s. Yep, a complete oversight on on 650 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,440 my behalf. Yeah. 651 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,560 You can't find a more left field sponsor for a marathon than a 652 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,520 chocolate manufacturer. Thank you Kathleen for giving us 653 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,240 a heads up on that one. Now is Cadbury. 654 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,800 They definitely got a factory down there. 655 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,320 Cadbury what? What is it? 656 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,880 Is it like? Is it founded down it? 657 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,720 Was well sorry, it was founded in England. 658 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,760 Oh. But it's first sight in 659 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,040 Australia was in Tasmania. OK, so that was what we were 660 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,320 talking about, Yeah, if you've got the right localised, you 661 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,840 know, if you want to support your community, yeah, support 662 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:56,920 where it comes from. That's it's. 663 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,800 It's exactly it's. I'm all in. 664 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,960 I'd eat chocolate on a marathon, I reckon nearly. 665 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,440 I will if I had, if I had a few little Fredos as you ran 666 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,520 through. I'm already, you know, pre pre, 667 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:14,440 pre opened, pre opened. London Marathon 2000 and 11. 668 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,000 I ran the London Marathon in 2011 off about two months 669 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,160 training. I was I had had for anybody 670 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,360 who's spent any time over in London, they will understand 671 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,240 this term. I had had the Heathrow 672 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,360 injection. I was as heavy as I've ever been 673 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,360 and I was just kind of embracing the idea of running. 674 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,400 Explain the Heathrow injection. Heathrow injection is an is an 675 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,920 idea that Aussies might go over there and get fat. 676 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,520 Drink would drink way too much. Because they drink way too much. 677 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,880 It's cold outside, it's dark. OK. 678 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,560 We go from living our outdoorsy lifestyle here in Australia. 679 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,240 You go overseas, you get the Heathrow injection and you're 5 680 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,240 kilos heavier like that. I'd had the Heathrow injection. 681 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,120 I signed up for the marathon late two months training. 682 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,080 I've told this story before here, but I was running without 683 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,120 a watch. I was doing the maths in my head 684 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,960 as I went through checkpoints and suddenly like 15 KS and I 685 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,040 thought I was on pace to run a 240 marathon. 686 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,720 I realised I was just doing the maths all wrong. 687 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,920 And the most humbling moment of that marathon was when I in the 688 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,960 last five KS, someone dressed as a carrot went running past me 689 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,440 and was like keep going mate and I'm like get stuffed carrot. 690 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,200 But I will never forget the taste. 691 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,760 I'm about 30 KS in. I've been eating nothing but 692 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:31,440 like snakes or red frogs and I had that real sugary taste in my 693 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,560 mouth with all the hydrolite drinks that were being. 694 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,080 Served on the way real. Sugary somebody gave me and this 695 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,160 is one of the great things about and this is what Sydney's aiming 696 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,200 for and I think it's what Gold Coast probably wants to try and 697 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,080 become as well. But the atmosphere along the 698 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,520 sidelines, somebody about 30 KS in just handed me a fun size 699 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,600 Mars bar. I will never forget the taste of 700 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,760 that because that chocolate taste breaking up 30 kilometres 701 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,640 worth of like lollies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 702 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,480 It was, it was a dream. It was the best Mars bar. 703 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,920 It's I don't Remember Me, every chocolate bar I've ever eaten, 704 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,040 but I will never forget that fun sized Mars bar that someone 705 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,040 handed me on the side of the road 30 KS into. 706 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,960 The I I wasn't joking about, I'd take the chocolate out. 707 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:20,679 I raced, I was racing and P and anyone in triathlon who followed 708 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,199 a like like followed me a little bit through triathlon will 709 00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:26,679 actually probably remember some. I've got photos. 710 00:34:26,679 --> 00:34:29,360 I used to strap some Mars bars to the front of my aero bars 711 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,520 when I was doing Halfway Man's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 712 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,480 Like I went through a good phase of winning half Iman's and I was 713 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,960 taking in a Mars bar or two just because it's the same thing I 714 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,360 used to. I mean, I used to have a lot of 715 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,679 sports drink as well, but I just used to like to mix it up in the 716 00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:45,880 Mars bar at the time, you know, if I looked at it now, nutrition 717 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,960 wise, probably not the best thing, but it just, it kind of 718 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:48,960 worked. It filled me up. 719 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,199 I enjoyed the taste. The problem was I did it in 720 00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:53,320 Cannes though. I'm one of the original Cannes 721 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:59,000 half Iman's, and by the time I got to the, the electrical tape 722 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,200 was around it. It just slowly disintegrated. 723 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,440 By the time I got to it, it was just like a slush. 724 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,480 I mean, I still got through half of it, but. 725 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,040 Did Mars ever come to you with any? 726 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,720 Cash. No, no, see. 727 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,600 You that's where you should have gone the Liam Adams route and 728 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,240 just blacked out the the the the wrapper so they didn't know what 729 00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:17,160 you were drinking or eating. I was happy to. 730 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:18,960 I was happy to give them a bit. That's great. 731 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,280 I love that. But yeah, so thank you to 732 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,440 Kathleen for shouting out the the Cadbury Marathon. 733 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:26,960 Yes, it happens. Stand in Hobart because it's a 734 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,400 good one. Yeah, let's move on. 735 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,280 You got some audio here. Yeah, I've actually we've, we've 736 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,920 got. It's about you, Liam, our 737 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:44,080 friend. Hello boys, long time listener, 738 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:49,400 third time caller. Just checking in, seeing how 739 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,160 Liam's training's going. We're all very excited to see 740 00:35:53,160 --> 00:36:00,360 how he's coming along for 160 kilometres in, what, like four 741 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,600 months? Yeah. 742 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,960 Come on, Flanner, fill us in. Tell us what your longest runs 743 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,240 been. Tell us what your programme 744 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,760 looks like. Keep us updated. 745 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,640 We're excited. Oh, I think I'm even going to 746 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,840 make the trip out to the Blue Mountains at the finish line, 747 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,120 help you crawl across it. Bloody exciting, mate. 748 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,800 I love that you picked the hardest thing in the world to do 749 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,400 and you're taking it on. You're taking it on. 750 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,000 That is, that is friend of the pod ready people might know 751 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,080 ready from Bondo Rescue. He's now one of the he's one of 752 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,600 the big dogs involved with AG1. Thank you, Ready. 753 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,880 And that Ready's also copped a bit of flak because some people 754 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,280 thought he wasn't supporting me when I first signed up for this 755 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,080 model thing 'cause he was. Being you've definitely got 2 756 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,680 camps here Liam, you've got people who are just full 757 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,880 support, loving, everyone's supporting you, don't get us 758 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,680 wrong. No, no. 759 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,640 But there's the there's some of us who are probably sitting on 760 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,600 the, the, the, the threshold, the line side of realism. 761 00:36:57,720 --> 00:36:59,160 Yep. And then there's others who are 762 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:00,280 sitting on the side of yeah, great. 763 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:01,440 Just go for it. Yeah. 764 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,600 And I feel like you're, you're on that side of realism that's 765 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,640 sort of like you're, you're questioning me. 766 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,600 I'm probably not on the fence. I'm probably on the right hand 767 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,840 side, yes. So let me give you a trail 768 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,880 update. Let me talk trail with you for 769 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,040 everyone for a bit. A bit of trail. 770 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:23,960 Training is going well, my body feels good, legs feel great, the 771 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,160 the build is on and the build is going really it's that lovely 772 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,000 line you want to see as you build up. 773 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,480 There's no sharp in increases. As you always say to me, give me 774 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,200 details Liam, Pete, that this is what Reed is calling out. 775 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,520 We want OK what? Give us some weekly. 776 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,720 Let me, let me walk you through it, let me walk you through it. 777 00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:44,200 So we'll go back to we'll work on a, we'll go on a four week 778 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,160 block, right. This is this is week four of a 779 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,360 four week block anyway. So week 1 of this four week 780 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,800 block was 56 KS with 1200 metres elevation. 781 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,520 Week 2 was 53 KS with 1000 metres elevation. 782 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,200 Last week was 60 KS with 1100 metres elevation. 783 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,000 This week will be 70 KS with around 1300 metres elevation. 784 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,360 It's that slow build of consistency. 785 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,760 That's the data. And so time on legs, I'm now 786 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,560 averaging 6 hours plus running a week at the moment of time on 787 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,160 feet. My longest run. 788 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,560 Look, I haven't had a really long run yet. 789 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,640 At the moment my longest run today is about 23 KS. 790 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,160 Yep. So there's not a huge long day 791 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,720 out on feet yet. Those are coming. 792 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,880 I'm not rushing into those. There's no need for me to go out 793 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,800 and spend 8 hours out on a trail. 794 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:35,000 How long is it to a UTA? 4 months, OK, I've got 16 weeks. 795 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,680 Yeah. So I'm building along slowly 796 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,040 what I'm, what I'll, I'll share with you today and what I'll and 797 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,440 what I'm going to start doing more and more. 798 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,760 And I mentioned people at Holly Ransom and, and some other 799 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,720 experts out there in the trail space. 800 00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:50,880 I am reaching out to these people and I'm getting with 801 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,800 those people. I'm asking for a bit more 802 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:57,000 information and some advice, but I've also got a few. 803 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000 I'm asking people that have run these things before, hey, if I, 804 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,640 if you're only allowed to give me one piece of advice for the 805 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,720 Mila, Yep, training race day, whatever it is, what would it 806 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:08,280 be? So I've got 2 to share with you 807 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,280 today. OK, not intentionally. 808 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,720 They're both from people called Ben. 809 00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:18,280 First one is from Ben Ferreff. Now Ben and I ran together for a 810 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,440 little bit in the Trails Border Trail last weekend. 811 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,000 I bumped into Benny. He was out there with his young 812 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,360 fella. Great to see his young fella. 813 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,360 I think his name was Hunter. Apologies if I haven't got that 814 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:28,720 right. Ben. 815 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,800 Ben and I ran along for a while. He's a big fan of the podcast, 816 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,920 listens all the time and he's done mile as before he ran his 817 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,920 Costa Cosi, the yeah, the flat 240 Ki think, well, not flat, 818 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,560 but flatter than the mile is what he said. 819 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,440 And I said, mate, give me one piece of advice. 820 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,640 And the one thing Ben said was you can never do enough 821 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,720 elevation in your training. You cannot do enough elevation. 822 00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:57,200 Ben said get to a gym, turn on the Stairmaster and forget about 823 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,320 everything. He's like, you just want to lock 824 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,360 into the Stairmaster. Yeah, right. 825 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,120 Just he he said. Go inside. 826 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,400 He, well, he said, start adding it into your, your block. 827 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,280 You just wanted ours. He's like, if you can just go in 828 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,880 and he's like, set the treadmill to the highest incline and walk. 829 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,600 So that was Ben's Stairmaster. Or treadmill. 830 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,800 Oh yeah, yeah, whatever. He's like you just said you will 831 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,080 not be able to do enough elevation in this training 832 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,440 block. OK And I was like and I was like 833 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,400 fantastic. OK. 834 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,840 That's been ferrous that. Doesn't excite you to go on. 835 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:37,240 On no no makes me sick, makes me like, makes me feel ill. 836 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,000 Going inside. To do. 837 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,920 I don't want to do that at all. No, I have intentions to. 838 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,520 I have a set of stairs near me down at Grumman there and I'm 839 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,160 going to live on those for a. Bit it is, Yeah, it isn't the 840 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,280 same. As a stem, As continuous 841 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,240 climbing. I understand why he's saying 842 00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:54,040 going to the into inside the door continuous. 843 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,760 Yeah, because you can just do it non stop, just grind up. 844 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,680 Yeah and even like when you find, you know, if you're out 845 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,960 the back of Telly Valley or somewhere and we got like, you 846 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:06,560 know, you can go up pretty much 7K ish six to seven K It's still 847 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,480 after that six to seven K, you still would have come back down. 848 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,120 He's still got the rest. Which isn't a bad thing as well 849 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,680 because there's there's dissent in this UTA mylar as well. 850 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,680 Isn't a bad thing, but if you're wanting to get like strength 851 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,400 over time from, you know, if you're just going to do it for 852 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,640 an hour or something. Speaking of Speaking of roots, 853 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,760 he also has sent me a root. Do you know Polly's loop? 854 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,880 Yep. He sent me Polly's loop and he 855 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,680 said, mate, go out there and plan for three loops of that. 856 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,520 Yeah, be a great training. So good, yeah, Steep, steep 857 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,240 sections. Yeah, that's come from Benny 858 00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:40,200 Ferris. So thank you Ben. 859 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,720 I will be I'll report back as soon as I've incorporated 860 00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:46,680 Polly's Loop. And then this one comes from Ben 861 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,560 Fits. Ben Fits, who's a member of the 862 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,400 Runners in the Dark crew down in Sydney. 863 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:55,800 He was my friend last year that did the Mylar and and broke like 864 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,000 his knee broke. He finished, but I, I, I shared 865 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,760 it. I shared his reaction and 866 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,520 response and review of the Milo last year for those that don't 867 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,880 remember it. And I hit Ben up again and 868 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,600 Ben's, Ben said he's going to come out and, and crew and help 869 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,320 and support for me in the race. And I said, mate, give me your 870 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,920 top training trip, your top training tip. 871 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,720 Ben's tip. I wish I trained heavier legs, 872 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,160 big gears on the stationary bike or more stair stepper. 873 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,760 So as you know, my legs were my biggest weakness. 874 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,480 There are so many stairs in the race. 875 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:34,040 So same thing as other Ben? Yes, stairs, stair training, 876 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,240 stairs training, stair training. So this is good for me. 877 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,880 I'm four weeks, I'm four months out. 878 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,040 And then interestingly, Ben also threw me a golden rule for race 879 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,320 day. Start slow, keep the pace easy 880 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,680 all day. Don't get swept up in all the 881 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,520 excitement of the start. You'll be feeling super fit but 882 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,480 rein it in. Don't run a sub 4-5 minute case 883 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,120 straight from the get go. It's a long day. 884 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,840 No, I mean that it seems common sense it. 885 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,920 Seems common sense, but I everyone knows that start line 886 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,560 vibe. Everyone knows that start line. 887 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,160 Feeling if you think of how slow and this isn't just for a mile 888 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,160 like this can be for, you know, 50, it can be for any race 889 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,520 really. But if you think about how slow 890 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,240 or how much you slowed down in majority of races at the end and 891 00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:18,840 you thought well, if I didn't go out that hard for that first bit 892 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,040 of the start, but it is just that's racing it's. 893 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,120 It's a it's a brain exercise. It's so hard to pull it in, reel 894 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,440 it in. I was just looking at Pollys. 895 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,800 So Pollys is act is out. Is it the base of Springbrook 896 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,880 climb? Yeah, if if you go in there, 897 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,640 there's a trail and you shoot around. 898 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,360 But the reason I was looking at it, I was trying to see if 899 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:44,480 there's the backside of it. I've got a feeling the backside 900 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:49,000 climb, so not the the first one you have is quite steep, but 901 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,000 around the backside which is going up next to, I don't know 902 00:43:53,160 --> 00:44:00,200 the alternative route up to Springbrook that is a real leg. 903 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,200 Finder. Yeah, Good. 904 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,280 OK, like if you that one will make you find out whether. 905 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,000 Your legs are going, Yeah, good or not, Yeah. 906 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,280 So look, the, the takeaway here, I'm, you know, as I said, I'm 907 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,560 four months out from this. The mileage is building, the 908 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,680 kilometres, the time on feet, it's all building. 909 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,680 I'm being very sensible about it. 910 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,760 And I've literally, I've come here today from a gym session. 911 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,040 So I'm, I'm building like the leg strength is still a focus, 912 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,160 but it's stairs. Stairs is going to be a big 913 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,560 addition into the running programme they have. 914 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,040 Thought about like do you have aspirational goal around what 915 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,920 mileage you might be wanting to look to get up to? 916 00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:42,240 Again, picking up from Ben Feriff, Ben one point O in the 917 00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:44,960 tips, I asked him, I'm like during as you went into the 918 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:51,000 Mylar, what were you, What was your average weekly kilometres? 919 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,040 And he said it's not. He said it wasn't that big. 920 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,720 He said he was working around 120 KS. 921 00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,800 OK, which again, if you don't run that will be bigger than 922 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,080 I've ever. Run that. 923 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,680 Will be bigger than I've ever run, but for a race that's 160 924 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:11,080 KS, it seems unders. I don't know what I expected to 925 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,960 be running, but that's just what he ran. 926 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,520 He's like I didn't get carried away, but it was 120 KS a week. 927 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,600 Was as big as he was running, but he was the stairs. 928 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:24,320 And it was this train, I mean, and this is just me personally 929 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,760 thinking about it. Like, I think you'd get such a 930 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:31,000 wide range because you're going to have elites and, and those 931 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,400 who are trying to like, optimise how best they can run 160 and 932 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,360 they're going to have some crazy mileage and crazy distances. 933 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:42,200 So, and that's where like you're, you're talking about 934 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,880 you've gone to get, you want some information from those who 935 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,320 have conquered it like that. And then you're getting, but 936 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,720 this is the key information I believe for you is to come back 937 00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:53,760 to someone who the the crew or people who athletes who have 938 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,480 gone out there, runners who have gone out there and actually done 939 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:57,840 it around your pace. Yeah. 940 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,960 And understand like what's what's I suppose the threshold 941 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,240 amount which you go actually this is too little. 942 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,880 Yeah, but I also don't need to be professional 2 times a day 943 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,400 runner, right? Because I could go and speak to 944 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,040 Lucy Bartholomew, but she's a professional runner. 945 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,360 I mean, she's got all day to run exactly, so it's not. 946 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,400 There's there's no but like. It doesn't equate 0. 947 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,480 There's no, you know, she's I've got a I've got a job, I've got 948 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:22,640 kids, I've got all this sort of stuff. 949 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,000 So I'm gonna continue to speak to different people, try and get 950 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,840 some of those golden rules, try and find out, learn a bit more 951 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:30,680 along the way. You. 952 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:33,240 Keep bringing them because that's they'll be interesting. 953 00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:36,840 But yeah, that was the, that was my, they're my, they're my, 954 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,440 that's my trail talk for this week. 955 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,240 The build continues. The body feels good. 956 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,840 I'm going to now be incorporating more stairs into 957 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,160 my training as per the two Benny's who've given me that 958 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:48,480 piece of advice. But yeah, I feel good. 959 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,680 I'm excited. I'm really the other thing I 960 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,000 will say quickly to move before I move on from the trail stuff 961 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,360 could not feel more comfortable out in the border trail because 962 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:57,760 that's why I'm doing a lot of my work at the moment. 963 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,440 But this week just gone. I was spending more time in the 964 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,680 S lab Genesis. No, what's the the flatter, more 965 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:11,080 racy Fuel ones? Genesis, the Genesis and it's 966 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,800 such a fun race shoe. It's such a fun shoe to run in 967 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,120 as as opposed to the Ultra Glide hail damage golf ball Dimple. 968 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,720 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that one chalk and cheese 969 00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:23,680 preserving my feet. But I just feel, yeah, it's the 970 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,120 running in those two. Juices. 971 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,640 So like as you move through these four months, will you? 972 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,640 You're gonna obviously need more shoes. 973 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:30,960 Yeah, I'm going to explore some different shoes. 974 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,920 Yep, I'm going to explore some different shoes. 975 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,800 I've got some I'm I'm looking into trying a couple of 976 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,720 different other brands just to find out what I really like 977 00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:41,280 running in. I'm looking at some of the Nike, 978 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,920 the Terex as well. But yeah, I'm I'm enjoying 979 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,080 learning more about the trail thing quickly. 980 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,880 Has anyone tried, you know, besides myself, has anyone else 981 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,920 skewed you on brand Like talking about shoes on trails going oh 982 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,880 they try this, this is 1. Not really, no. 983 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,960 Interestingly though, I'll just say I I where I met Ben the 984 00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:04,440 other weekend had in the trails was as part of people might be 985 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,400 aware of Keegan Hipgrave and what he's all doing in the 986 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,200 running space. He had a little trail event 987 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,800 partnered with LSKD and a coffee mob Sun Devil from down the 988 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,320 Tweed. It was interesting because there 989 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,840 are a lot of what probably people that fall under the run 990 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,000 boom have got caught up in the run hysteria over the last year 991 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,960 or so. And I was asking, I was just 992 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,520 curious, playing curious. I kept very low profile out 993 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,600 there playing curious. I was asking people, have you 994 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,560 been trail running much before? A lot of first time trail 995 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,920 runners out there, a lot of first time trail runners who had 996 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,080 never been out on the trails before for for whatever reason, 997 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,880 blokes, women who just. And I was like, OK, so it's 998 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,800 taking something like this to bring you out to a trail and get 999 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,200 amongst it. And sadly, I have an injury 1000 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:50,800 report for the Gold Coast Titans. 1001 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:53,240 Their cheerleaders went down. Oh OK. 1002 00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:58,240 She was out there for the first time on a trail less than AK in 1003 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,800 bang and bad ankle like immediate I. 1004 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,280 Thought cheerleaders would have some. 1005 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,200 Strong angles at all. She went down and stuff. 1006 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,320 She went down. So no injury report for the Gold 1007 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,760 Coast Titans. Sit down and cheerleader for 1008 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,120 round one, I think. I hope she gets better soon. 1009 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,360 It's the poor thing. She was upset. 1010 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,000 But anyway, there's my trail talk. 1011 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:19,760 That's your trail talk. There's my trail update. 1012 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,320 Do you want to talk a bit about oh, Olympics? 1013 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:26,600 I got an Olympic question for you. 1014 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,560 You seen what the US Olympians are getting now I did. 1015 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:35,280 I did for those that. We, because I mean we talked 1016 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,120 about it for the Australian Olympians, they put on a 1017 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,680 retirement. Fund Yes. 1018 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,360 What was a reward? Do you remember what your 1019 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,520 paycheck would have been if you'd won gold at either of the? 1020 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,600 Olympics, I think 30. But 30,000 on the condition that 1021 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,280 you went to the next Olympic Games as well. 1022 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,120 No, not the same for triathlete, because that's what it was for 1023 00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,680 swimmers. Do you know that for swimmers, 1024 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,960 Liesel Jones, who I do in my radio show with has told me 1025 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,800 this, that that gold medal bonus was conditional on you 1026 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,200 committing to the following Olympic Games. 1027 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:06,400 I. Wonder if that was a private 1028 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,840 gold medal bonus out of the right, the Gene and Reinhart 1029 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:10,840 farm. I don't know. 1030 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,760 I don't know, but I don't think so. 1031 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,280 I mean, I think there was there was an athlete that yeah, the 1032 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,200 Australian athlete, Australian Olympic Commission. 1033 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,280 Yep. Or maybe the Australian Sports 1034 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,640 Commission, one of the two. You have a metal fund. 1035 00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:25,760 OK. And that metal fund is a pool. 1036 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,560 Yep. And I think these days are, I 1037 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,400 don't know exactly. So I don't want to say, I don't 1038 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,680 want to say what isn't the correct information. 1039 00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:37,800 But yeah, like effectively if gold, silver or bronze, you got 1040 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,400 a certainty or the thing was if you were a, you know, a swimmer 1041 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:47,400 and you got 6 gold medals, you got six times the the amount 1042 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,800 first. You know, some sports only have 1043 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,160 one opportunity as well. So see as always. 1044 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:53,960 Interesting if the swimmers got that. 1045 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,840 I think the swimmers it was. It was not a per medal bonus. 1046 00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,400 Ask Lisel. Yeah, I'll follow. 1047 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,360 That for us, because I'm I'm not 100% sure. 1048 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,840 Do you know why? Because your memory's terrible 1049 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:08,720 and you didn't win a medal. I didn't win a medal, but the 1050 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,200 USI wouldn't. I'd remember that you'd Remember 1051 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:16,560 Remember that the. US Olympians Starting next month 1052 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,280 at the Winter Olympics, US Olympic and Paralympic athletes 1053 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:28,360 will receive $200,000. Yes, but paid 20 years after the 1054 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,080 athletes first Olympic appearance or at age 45. 1055 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,800 So this comes about because billionaire Ross Stevens, Yep, 1056 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,040 donated $100 million to create the Stevens Financial Security 1057 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,000 Award, the largest gift in the history of the United States 1058 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,840 Olympic and Paralympic Committee. 1059 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,360 So it's amazing. So they're saying yeah. 1060 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:49,240 We breakdown how it works. Yeah, well, I mean 100 thousands 1061 00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:54,360 paid out over 4 years. So that's what, 25 grand a year 1062 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:59,280 over 4 years when you turn 45 effectively Or 20 years after 1063 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,920 your your first Olympic if you're a young younger Olympian? 1064 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:04,880 At every games, they compete in two. 1065 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,560 Yes, so if you went to three Olympics, you're gonna cope 1066 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:16,480 $600,000 if and another 100,000 is guaranteed to their family 1067 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,080 after death. So there's also like a wow 1068 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,320 bursary fund there for that. This is really intro it's I'd 1069 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,760 love to you as an Olympian. What are your thoughts on this? 1070 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,400 What do you think of this as a whole it? 1071 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,760 I mean, personally, I'd go this is amazing. 1072 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:40,480 Like in this area, like we've talked about before, it probably 1073 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,760 comes back down to the sport, like different sports have 1074 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:47,320 different professions and and monetary pay when it comes to 1075 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:51,000 the Olympics. But I'm of the notion and this 1076 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,120 that everyone should be treated. If you do it for one, you got to 1077 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:54,520 do it for all. That's irrelevant. 1078 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:55,320 Which? Which is this? 1079 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:56,840 What? Which is this case, Yeah. 1080 00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:01,960 So I don't care if you're, you know, who's about one of the 1081 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,160 current US basketballers that will be on the team. 1082 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,560 Oh. Yeah, good point. 1083 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,840 Well, I don't know, Kevin Durant probably not getting there, but 1084 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,280 he's probably a bit old now. But Anthony Edwards, say 1085 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:16,320 Edwards, Yeah, there's like. I'm not a believer that you can 1086 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:17,320 just say to him, well, you might. 1087 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,280 You're not. I'm not giving it to you because 1088 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,920 you're loaded. You know the fencer well, you 1089 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,600 know, you're a pure amateur. So that. 1090 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,440 We have had this conversation before, yeah. 1091 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,560 So in this case, I believe everyone one in all, one in all 1092 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:37,200 in, there is a notion of like you could separate things like, 1093 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,240 and I'm just going out on a tangent now, you could separate 1094 00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:42,720 things like this from like pure amateur sports to pure 1095 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,600 professional sports. But then I'd argue there's still 1096 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,840 such a variance in like what you know, Triathlon's probably a 1097 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,960 good example. Like it's a professional sport, 1098 00:53:54,240 --> 00:53:58,080 but you majority are probably earning money to get by and not 1099 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,480 retire. Yeah, it's, yeah. 1100 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:04,400 I mean, do the look you could means test it as this is 1101 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,840 essentially what you're talking about there, but what they've 1102 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:08,160 just. Done. 1103 00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:10,880 But I'm not in for the means testing around because then that 1104 00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,680 brings into like what you do after sport and a whole range of 1105 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,560 things. But the reality is what's great 1106 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:19,800 here is there are so many Olympic sports that do not get 1107 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,480 paid. Yes, like there was I was 1108 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:24,560 reading in the paper this morning. 1109 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:28,760 It was a German bobsled athlete Female bobsled athlete has 1110 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,560 funded her way to the Olympics through only. 1111 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,240 Fans, I saw this story. Yeah, yeah. 1112 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,080 Because it. She's got a dream. 1113 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,600 Well, but to run a bobsled campaign is about 50,000, I 1114 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,440 think it was EUR, it was in Germany, yeah. 1115 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:45,680 So €50,000 a year to run the campaign and it's privately 1116 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,040 funded. So how do you do it? 1117 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,320 But but what I'll regardless of, you know, sport V sport and all 1118 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,440 the rest of that, and yes, there are, there will be multi, multi 1119 00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:00,040 multi millionaires going to compete at this Winter Olympics 1120 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,680 and at the summer, next Summer Games in America. 1121 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,560 They will go multi, multi millionaires will be there to 1122 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,640 compete because they have earned that much in their sport. 1123 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,840 But to go back to this bloke has put this much money in and he 1124 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,440 said if you make it as an Olympian, you get this. 1125 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,560 And I, you know, talking about those athletes that participate 1126 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,640 in the lesser paid sports, Yep. But they've also made a choice 1127 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,200 to do that. And they've made a choice that 1128 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,960 it's not like no one, no one took up fencing thinking, oh, I 1129 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,600 thought I was going to make $50 million as a professional fence. 1130 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,160 They knew, they knew what the paycheck was, but they still 1131 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,040 chose to pursue it. And what I like about this is 1132 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:38,080 it's going nut you become an Olympian, you get this. 1133 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:42,320 And, and look, I'm not saying I think Australia should find a 1134 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,640 way to do it. But they have. 1135 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,240 But they have to some extent. But they do mean, but they mean. 1136 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,040 Test it. Yeah, so different, different 1137 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,640 style of programme. I mean, reports are that Ray Gun 1138 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,320 wants to go and break dance for America the next Olympic Games 1139 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,440 because he's like. Reset Radio reports. 1140 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:07,040 Rumours, rumours, rumours are. But look, hey, if Ross, we just 1141 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,640 need to find another Ross Stevens for Australia and we 1142 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,640 need to find an Australian Ross Stevens. 1143 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,120 We've got some great private donation, like, you know, 1144 00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,640 there's some good private donations in Australian sport. 1145 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,080 I don't need to go into them, but they're there. 1146 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,680 This one's just been specifically aimed at, not a 1147 00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,640 sport it's been aimed at. The Olympic programme, all 1148 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,080 Olympians. I like it quickly. 1149 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:31,400 My running. Yes, please. 1150 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,000 I well, we know it's going well because you're chirping 1151 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,680 everybody your sessions, according to your brother. 1152 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:40,720 Yep. This week, So I had to. 1153 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,840 I went over to Perth this week. I've been in Perth for three 1154 00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:49,880 days. Mornings Crisp, nice 1516. 1155 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:58,280 Try to yeah my low humidity. Like it. 1156 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:04,680 It takes a few mornings in that to realise what a slog running 1157 00:57:04,720 --> 00:57:07,920 in Queensland is in summer and the further north you go, the 1158 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,800 worse it gets. But I had a couple of runs and 1159 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,800 it was just, it was just the best thing to get into some cool 1160 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,040 conditions. It wasn't cold, no, but it was 1161 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,720 just nice running easy, you know, get through an hour. 1162 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,120 I was getting back to the hotel like my wasn't just saturated as 1163 00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:30,360 if I come out of the water. So many positives out of it. 1164 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,520 And then flat. Don't worry about the flat, just 1165 00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:37,720 just just a quick reminder of what's to come when autumn 1166 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,440 starts rolling around. OK, it was very, very nice. 1167 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:45,200 I did also because I was away. It was the first time I've been 1168 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,040 away since I've been really structured in my gym programme. 1169 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,160 OK. So I had a bit of a like, I mean 1170 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:52,160 the city. Yep. 1171 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:58,040 How do you I haven't done gym in so long outside of going down to 1172 00:57:58,040 --> 00:57:59,840 the local gym. Gym at your hotel? 1173 00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:05,040 So there was OK now, but what would you like 'cause I'm doing 1174 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,680 some very specific exercises that need like, and I'm not 1175 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,440 worried if I missed one or two, but I generally wanted, you 1176 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,120 know, I wanted at least a squat rack that had proper weights 1177 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:15,960 ordered and things like that too typical. 1178 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,720 For a hotel gym. Well, that's what I was gonna 1179 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,360 ask you the question. Do you think and anyone who else 1180 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,720 is in their hotels this is a new thing but would you consider to 1181 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,880 walk into a hotel and get some free like a squat rack with free 1182 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,080 weights number? One, I'd be surprised by that. 1183 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,280 Yeah, I I would, I would consider that to be over 1184 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,000 delivering from a hotel gym. Yeah, I I was of the same 1185 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,480 opinion. So I'd already started to look 1186 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,280 at, you know, can I get to a 24 hour gym close to the hotel? 1187 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,200 Took a trip underneath to have a look at the gym. 1188 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:49,240 Wow, really? Not a squat rack, but 20 KG bar 1189 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:53,640 with plates. So I was able to manage, you 1190 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:57,520 know, calf raise machine like I would use in in the gym I'd go 1191 00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,480 to. However, there was some, I don't 1192 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,280 even know what you'd call them, but there were some machines 1193 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,040 that still allowed you to do a style of calf raise. 1194 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:05,760 Yeah. It was like a sitting swat 1195 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,800 machine that also had a bit of a like a, an outcut in it that 1196 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,680 allowed you to do that. Pretty much. 1197 00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,560 I got through your programme, my programme. 1198 00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,520 Good enough, I'll say. So my Bulgarian squats, I 1199 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,200 couldn't, I couldn't lift the weight onto my back so I just 1200 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,000 used dumbbells. But like I got through it well 1201 00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,920 enough and I'm like OK, done and tick box. 1202 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:29,800 But that was the main thing I was worried about travelling at 1203 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:31,280 the moment. It's like I'm gonna miss. 1204 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,480 Bloody gym. Just pivoting on that. 1205 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,680 I can't remember if we've talked about this on the podcast 1206 00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,800 before, the concept of airport gyms. 1207 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,320 Yeah. What do you think? 1208 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,280 Well, so. And quick shout out to a friend 1209 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:50,480 of the pod, Rihanna Crane, who she posted something about this 1210 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,320 the other week. I've heard this thrown around 1211 00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:53,600 before. She got, I think she got a big 1212 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,280 old delay at an airport. Yeah, right. 1213 00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:01,080 And she said there should be more gyms, hairdressers, better 1214 01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,240 shops, great food at airports. Would you use a gym at an 1215 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,280 airport if you got if you got hit with a delay? 1216 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,520 At the moment, Yep, Yeah. Right. 1217 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:16,560 Yep, Yep, Yep. Especially if I, yeah, 1218 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,040 especially if I'd finished up my day a bit earlier than I thought 1219 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,800 I had to. And you know, I'm not on a flexi 1220 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,000 flight and have to hang it out. Yeah, for sure. 1221 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,400 There's an opportunity for the Gold Coast Airport here. 1222 01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,240 I think it'd be very, very busy though. 1223 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:30,400 Go. Go what? 1224 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,200 Don't do. It, but I'd never use the Gold 1225 01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,360 Coast 1. Well, no, you wouldn't, because 1226 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,720 you'd be coming home. But Gold Coast is such a, a, 1227 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,640 it's a growing airport, all right. 1228 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,920 It's an you know, it's getting busier and busier, but step 1229 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:48,200 forward going on. Singapore's got the pool and I'm 1230 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,680 I'm sure on the gym. I'm sure Singapore will have a 1231 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,760 gym in their airport. They've got everything else, 1232 01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,080 some of those. There's not one in an Australian 1233 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,000 gym, sorry. An Australian airport though, 1234 01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,640 that I can think of. Yeah, great. 1235 01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,840 It's a it's a good idea. I reckon it'd be pretty dirty 1236 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:03,600 airport. Doesn't it have? 1237 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,680 To be airports in general, it's just dirty. 1238 01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,760 Places. I've just come out of Japan over 1239 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:11,240 the break and it doesn't. All these places that we accept 1240 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,440 as being dirty here in Australia, they don't have to 1241 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:15,640 be. They don't have to be, but the 1242 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,720 reality is that. We as a community just lift our 1243 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:22,320 overall standard and I'm going to use public toilets as an 1244 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,840 example here and we don't piss on the scenes, we don't. 1245 01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,520 We flush and we do all these things. 1246 01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:29,400 Places don't have to be dirty people. 1247 01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,240 Airport gyms, for example. Airport gyms, it's a it's a 1248 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,200 reasonable. Idea, but your body's feeling 1249 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,000 good. Touch with yeah, yeah, tomorrow 1250 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:41,920 get out going into the forest tomorrow might slowly increase a 1251 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,000 little bit of the pressure off some of the hills and go out on 1252 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,640 that 17 K loop. Yeah, get it done. 1253 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,160 Taken away, mate, taken away. What time are you going out 1254 01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,800 there? Might come for a run with you. 1255 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,720 Well, let me rephrase that. We might run the same track. 1256 01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,640 I am assuming. What are you knocking out that 1257 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:03,480 70K loop in right now roughly? I've been over an hour and a 1258 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,080 half the first few weeks, but I've just been kind of rolling 1259 01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,920 around there. So I think at the fastest we get 1260 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:10,600 around there in about 70 minutes. 1261 01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:16,520 So I'm about 2025 minutes off. I was, you know, talking about, 1262 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,800 we were joking at the beginning around team 100 and times and 1263 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,640 racing and everything else. That tempo I did do back in 1264 01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,520 Perth and I was talking about that 8K back. 1265 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:31,000 I, I actually, I wore a heart rate monitor and I kept my heart 1266 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,520 rate under 150, right? And I think I'd have to have a 1267 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,400 look back. I think the average was around 1268 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,560 just under, I think it was like 348 or something. 1269 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,600 I'm not happy with that. Of course you're not, no. 1270 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,920 Now you I'm not running as quick And so like this is where it'll 1271 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,760 get interesting for me is that I'm still benchmarking against 1272 01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:54,920 old, old boardings. And at the moment, I kind of go, 1273 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,440 I know the heart rate's right. So just run and that will 1274 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,880 improve next week like 100%. I know that just improves week 1275 01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,280 to week, but knowing we've got what we say, four or five weeks 1276 01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:09,320 only. Yeah, till till till 100, March 1277 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,400 20. I've forgotten that I've lost 1278 01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:11,640 the. Yeah. 1279 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:16,720 So the notion instead of instead of slowly, you know. 22nd of 1280 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,480 March. Yeah, instead of slowly just 1281 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,480 tapping up the threshold. You want to make I? 1282 01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:22,520 Kind of, I kind of want to get the sledgehammer and go like 1283 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:24,000 that, but. And that's where injuries 1284 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,880 happen. Injuries happen exactly so. 1285 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:27,440 Little taps, not big jumps. I've. 1286 01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,600 Gone to the heart rate monitor at the moment to make sure 1287 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,000 things are controlled and that's where we'll stay all. 1288 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,600 Right, big shout out to everybody who's already 1289 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,040 subscribed.
