Bailey Humphrey. 13 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,160 Stan, this is a young man who the Giants will not want to 14 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:45,280 start feeling himself 'cause when he does, he's capable of 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,960 anything. Jay Bolt when he feels himself, 16 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,640 he feels good. Wow, wow, that's got true. 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,760 Wow, he's.

I burned. 20 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,880 Did you? Yeah, not really actually 21 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaking of knowing what he meant. 22 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,519 Your mate again, Stevie J Bill, then yeah, then we. 23 00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:07,760 Yeah, This is Bernie. Bernie, Vince, this. 24 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,720 You're not more about this podcast than I do. 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,600 They're your family mate. This is from. 26 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,040 Triple M, This is Triple M footy. 27 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,920 It's the Saturday rub. Bernie Vince, former Adelaide 28 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,600 grow Melbourne Demon ripping bloke. 29 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,000 He's on breaking radio down in Adelaide and he does a 30 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,880 basically, I can't remember what the segment's called, but every 31 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,400 Saturday he goes through and basically takes the absolute 32 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,400 piss out of his fellow Triple M. It's. 33 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,760 Bernie's enough for the week. No, not for the week, sorry for 34 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,680 the week, not for the week. I don't think I was enough for 35 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,040 the week. But yeah, enough of the week is 36 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,000 when he basically goes and takes audio from mostly radio, but TV 37 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000 or basically when people stuff things up. 38 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,160 What that was in reference. I was down in Sydney. 39 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:54,040 It was the GWS Gold Coast game. Now, I thought cards on the 40 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,120 table, nothing if not honest with the in the beginning 41 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,840 family. I thought I was being cool. 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,440 I thought I was using the slang that the kids use when they 43 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,680 refer to feeling themselves, as in like feeling confident in 44 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,000 themselves. That's the terminology right 45 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,160 now. I used it on a station whose 46 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,240 target demographic is 40 year olds plus, so I probably didn't 47 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,960 pick the audience. Right, Right. 48 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,360 And fair to say, Jude Bolton and Brad Seymour, who were calling 49 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,840 the game with me, did not support me whatsoever. 50 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,920 I was you. You were called out on the spot. 51 00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:27,200 I was. Jude and Brad both turned and 52 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,640 looked at me and said, what are you talking about? 53 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,320 And I actually played that to Bailey Humphrey. 54 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,520 Bailey Humphrey came in studio after that game and I played 55 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,320 that audio to him and even he reacted. 56 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,160 He even even even reacted with I don't think you can say that on 57 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,280 radio. So look, the the part of being a 58 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,440 footy commentator is you're always updating your phrase 59 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,120 book. You're always learning new 60 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,600 words, adding new words, finding new ways to describe things 61 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,200 that. Is now gone. 62 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,120 Is deleted. Don't say that to your kids. 63 00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:00,480 Don't say that's a. That has been deleted from my 64 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,240 from my phrase book, so thank you. 65 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,480 Yes, let's leave that. Thank. 66 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,640 You, Bernie, thank you. To who? 67 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,320 Who sent that in? Keenan Jacobs. 68 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Thank you, Keenan, you've made your point. 69 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,920 You're not gonna get away with any. 70 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:14,280 No, you've made your point now. Here you've had. 71 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,040 It was a good call though. Good call. 72 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,680 That was a great game. The and then the I've called 73 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,760 since then. I've called the Suns win over 74 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,400 the Melbourne so oh. That was Sunny's back. 75 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,560 That was a. Cup and I bumped into a high 76 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,200 performance big boss riggers Alex Rigby. 77 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,760 Oh, Yep, I don't think he's riggers have to say. 78 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,640 Well, I think he was just relieved that they got a win, 79 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:35,040 frankly. Now, the reason I thought you 80 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,640 were going to be you thought I was in the news is because I've 81 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,120 been hit up for a few people saying that. 82 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,480 What have you done now?

We are now enough, enough 149 00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:43,800 bagging me out. Frankly, I wasn't ready for 150 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,400 either of those. I've had, I've had my fair share 151 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,200 of my. Time across. 152 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,400 This for these weeks. Well, let's talk some running 153 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,240 news. What's going on? 154 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,800 Let's talk. The big one is and you know, 155 00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,640 Western states. So I'm I'm. 156 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,760 Hopefully, hopefully most runners have heard of western 157 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,280 states, even those roadrunners and marathons that listen to us. 158 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,440 It's the oldest 100 mile trail race in the world apparently if 159 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,520 you go by their website. It is the, it's the big one that 160 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,760 I know my friends who are good runners, really good runners, 161 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,080 Anna McKenna share that. Anna, who's a great trail runner 162 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,880 out of Noosa, that's the one she keeps trying to qualify for 163 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:19,400 every year. Yeah. 164 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,560 Everyone wants to get in, so there's limited you've got to 165 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,080 even the elites have to go close and like someone's going to 166 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,920 correct me very close to winning a major 100 mile run just to get 167 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,600 a ticket to it. So it's not even easy for, you 168 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,120 know, the elites to get there, but it actually makes sense 169 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,240 being, you know, that everyone watches Western states. 170 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,520 You know, we've talked a lot about how does a race become 171 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,520 iconic? It's the oldest race. 172 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,160 Yeah, it's probably probably helps, you know, it's across a 173 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,400 beautiful, beautiful location, everything else. 174 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,440 So there's it's 161 kilometres in our terms, 5500 metres avert 175 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,280 and 7000 metres of descent in it. 176 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,240 Now the winner this year of the the men. 177 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,280 And for the moment, I was just we'll we'll get the can you get 178 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,600 the results up for the women as well? 179 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,200 So we can make sure we're cover that. 180 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,440 But it's more about just the state of running I wanted to 181 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,120 focus on here. So Caleb is a Nike runner runs. 182 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,440 He won the event in 14 hours and 11 minutes, so flying for 100 183 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,120 and. 60. Crazy, crazy, but what I want to 184 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,400 call out. So killing and John A, probably 185 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,560 one of the best known, not just runners, but endurance athletes 186 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,120 on the planet. He got he came in 3rd and there 187 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,480 was another guy in the race as well. 188 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,720 He's been doing a heap of YouTube stuff called mountain He 189 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,679 he goes by the handle mountain Roach on Instagram and YouTube 190 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,480 and all of that. It's interesting the difference. 191 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,920 So Caleb Olson who won runs for Nikes has a following of 11 192 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,680 point 5011. 1/2 thousand people are following him compared to 193 00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:00,560 killing him. 1.8 million has. Killing got 1.8 million. 194 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,800 Yeah, and then let's look it up on the numbers. 195 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,760 But what's crazy is I love, This is why I love trail. 196 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:12,000 It's it's still in such a an area of like, you know, this is 197 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,280 where you find people. You can still runners can still 198 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,280 go there. And Caleb was, I think he's had 199 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,040 one of the best first time first, first. 200 00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,200 Is that his first? No, it wasn't. 201 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,400 But as he was one of the I think he's had the quickest time for 202 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,880 the the how do you say that? Debbie, Tom, Debbie is on. 203 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,760 Oh, wow. Ever. 204 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,040 But, you know, I'm just surprised, like the winner of 205 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,040 Western States, the biggest trail race in the world. 206 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,680 There's a lot of people watching it and, and you know, this is 207 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:41,280 just how hard it is for running. Someone here we haven't heard 208 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:41,840 of? Really. 209 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,160 Well, I'd heard, I know. I've definitely heard of him 210 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,720 because I've seen him. They the interest. 211 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,800 We'll get to the shoes a bit later on, but there's a lot of 212 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,400 let's say prototype shoes being run. 213 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,400 Oh, now that a lot of the, you know, let's say the first ten 214 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,800 were running in shoes that are like specially made for them for 215 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,680 that event, which is really interesting cause in marathons, 216 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:05,480 you know, we see a few prototypes, but they normally 217 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,760 release it prior to the event. MMM trail bit different. 218 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,640 They're all running in certain prototypes, majority of them. 219 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:12,960 Interesting. Yeah, we'll go through that 220 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,080 later in the episode if you hang around. 221 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,320 Did you want the women's results? 222 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,120 I do. Want the women's? 223 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Results the whole of the US. So just for context, same course 224 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,480 the Abby you finished, I think it was the 4th fastest women's 225 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,760 time ever. She came in in 16 hours, 37 226 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,680 surgery, about two hours 20 behind the men's women. 227 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:36,320 But she is a she's been just reading up on Abby very quickly. 228 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:40,080 Basically it was almost a a post to post win for Abby. 229 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,480 She sounds like she dominated for most of the race, but she 230 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:49,120 has been a really good 100K runner for the last 5-6 years 231 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,240 and this was her first big mile win. 100 mile win. 232 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,600 So well done, I mean. Just think 14 hours, 16 hours, 233 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880 it's crazy fast. So these are quick. 234 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,200 It is like one of the more runnable courses and quick ones. 235 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,160 But yeah. Yeah. 236 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,280 So that was no Aussies in the top ten. 237 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,040 No, but shout out to to Dan Jones. 238 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:12,160 Interesting. We've talked about Dan on here 239 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,160 before around my what? He was the guy. 240 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,480 I was telling him the story about rappelling off the bridge. 241 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,240 That's right. Interesting to know. 242 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,640 I just and this is sort of apple of nothing is and I know it's a 243 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,000 race that takes part is is in America, but the US dominate 244 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,120 that. I would kind of just thought the 245 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,000 Europeans might have been more dominant than the trail ones, 246 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,520 but it's in the men's race. I think you find like and you 247 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,360 know, to talk out of out of turn here, but I think you'll find 248 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,480 Western states is the big one for the US. 249 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,760 OK, I got you UTMB. It's the big one. 250 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,080 Yeah, it's definitely US guys who do and girls who do really 251 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,280 well in UT MB as well. But it'll be like European. 252 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,800 Yeah, driven. Cool, cool, cool. 253 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,960 Now, did you watch the Breaking 40? 254 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,000 Yes, this is. Did you watch it? 255 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,800 Live or replay? I watched a replay. 256 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:00,240 Yeah. OK, Yeah. 257 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,680 What? What did you make of it? 258 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,000 I made of it. It's a good look. 259 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,480 I get where they're going. I get what they're trying to do 260 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,080 and we've talked about it on here before. 261 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,040 They're trying to take running mainstream. 262 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,000 Quick catch up Faith Kipiagon, women's GOAT middle distance 263 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,880 runner, copying the mould set by Elliot Kipiogay when Nike tried 264 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,960 to break 2 hours with him over the marathon, tailored 265 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,080 everything to get him to achieve it. 266 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,760 They did the same for Faith Kipiagon in the hope of making 267 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,520 her the first female to ever run a sub 4 minute mile. 268 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,720 So on pace for three laps arguably and and you know, 269 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,960 dropped 556 seconds on the last lap, just didn't have it. 270 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,280 Look, I was more focused on the run itself in the end. 271 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,200 It's such a small part because when you're running only, what, 272 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,240 four O 6. What'd she do in the end? 273 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,240 She did a four O 6 first. It was the fastest ever mile 274 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,200 time by a female athlete ever heard. 275 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,960 She has the world record of four O 7. 276 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,760 But so still a success. Still a success by that measure, 277 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,800 yes. But what I was interested in is 278 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,640 the actual show so I've watched the pre show on prime. 279 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,680 Right. What do you think? 280 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,200 And then I've watched obviously, So when I say the pre show, I 281 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,280 watched the episode 1, which we talked about the other day, 282 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,720 which explained all of the technology and everything and 283 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,720 the training. And then I watched the pre show 284 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,000 in the lead up to her run and there was probably a good 40 285 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,840 minutes of it they brought in obviously USI think the whole 286 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:26,800 the main host was a a American female sports reporter. 287 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,160 OK, so from the media, I think so she they were doing a great 288 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,520 job. They had everyone represented, 289 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:32,400 right? Carl Lewis? 290 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,000 Great. Amazing. 291 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,600 Great. I'd like to see him on. 292 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,080 That was like special. Yeah, like especially, you know, 293 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,760 around as a sprinter, but still has a lot to say about 294 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,960 athletics. It just didn't work for. 295 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,320 Me what? What about it didn't work? 296 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,360 It's just clunky. It's just how do you make I I 297 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,000 would have rather seen it packaged up the first like the 298 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,160 actual first episode of her training and the technology and 299 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,040 everything else. I would have rather seen it in a 300 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,120 one one hour package as one, one hour special instead of trying 301 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,680 to break it out in three where you have to watch a pre show. 302 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,320 Then this show was like I just kept trying to build it up for 303 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,360 40 minutes and then you know the event. 304 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:17,600 I think if you're going to go and watch something live and you 305 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,720 want to be there, you need to get to the get get to the main 306 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,320 event quicker than that. It was just a long all. 307 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,680 That that and I didn't see it. I only watched the race. 308 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,920 I've only watched the replay of the the entry into the thing. 309 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,000 So from that I don't quite have that perspective on it as a 310 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,840 product because I didn't have to sit through all that. 311 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,880 I watched it on replay after the fact and. 312 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,120 You just Fast forward it so that. 313 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,720 No, but the replay only gave me basically when Faith came out 314 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,840 onto the track and when the Pacers came out of the track, it 315 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,600 didn't give me all the pre stuff. 316 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,600 Yeah, right. So I actually just got to see 317 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,080 the attempt. Really. 318 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:56,040 That's all I saw. And so I don't have that view of 319 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,120 it. I I really thought it was great. 320 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,640 I thought, you know, I love seeing Stewie Mcswain out there 321 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,320 representing Australia as one of the paces. 322 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,360 And to me it was just, yeah, it looked like a really kind of 323 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,800 exciting, well commentated run. Talking about the lights that 324 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,800 would keep your own pace. What? 325 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,600 Really enjoyed it run started 100% on. 326 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,480 I just think it was just too long to get there of them trying 327 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,840 to fill time in to keep you watching for a whole hour. 328 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,840 Whereas I think instead of taking 3-1 hour episodes, if 329 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,640 they would have just condensed it into like, you know, not 330 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,760 being greedy and just condensed it into one great package. 331 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,080 You know, half an hour of the lead up into the race, bang, 332 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,440 gone, done and. If you look at it from that 333 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,600 perspective, it's not a money. This was this was not set up to 334 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,840 be a money making exercise for Nike. 335 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,720 Nike doesn't need to create things like this to make more 336 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,840 money. Oh well. 337 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,080 I think the purpose of doing it is to make more money. 338 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,520 Do you think, Yeah, what money is there to be made aside from 339 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,320 selling the TV rights, selling shoes? 340 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,440 I don't reckon that's going to sell more shoes. 341 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,640 It's to buy in. I don't it's awareness. 342 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,400 I don't think that event would have sold more shoes. 343 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,480 It's awareness. If you went in and you're, 344 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,800 you've got Nike on your on your brain, you know, if you're going 345 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,120 in, you're going into PAC fair, I'm going in, I'm going to buy 346 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,480 some shoes today. I'm running my next marathon or 347 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,760 I'm, you know, going out to buy shoes to train in. 348 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,440 You walk past the Adidas store, you've walked past the ASIC 349 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,600 store and you see the Nike store. 350 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,040 Top of your mind is Nike just did this big thing that have 351 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,880 been watching and following along and everything else that 352 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,000 is going to. It's there to sway your 353 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,040 judgement to buy. OK, Yeah, I don't you're right. 354 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,720 I don't disagree with you that what I think I mean is that as a 355 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,560 product, yeah. That the the event itself as a 356 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,080 product should have been, could have been packaged better. 357 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,520 I think the brand, the box could have been better. 358 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,360 The thing that was it was wrapped within could have been 359 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,480 didn't need all the excess packaging. 360 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,200 It could have just been one nice layer of wrapping rather than 17 361 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,520 or an hour's worth of wrapping. Yeah, in this case, I, I I think 362 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,960 it was a bit like a wedding. The pre, the build up to it is 363 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,520 where they got all the benefit, like a lot of the benefits and 364 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,880 everyone talking about it, sharing all the different 365 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,680 things, you know, working out. Can she do it? 366 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,640 Can she not? And then it's kind of like when 367 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,280 it was done, it was like, OK. I have to go back and watch it 368 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,640 because I again, I don't wanna comment too much without having 369 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,280 seen any of it and I don't wanna sit here and just hit you and. 370 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,160 Laundry list and I'm being pessimistic about it. 371 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,640 I think it's I think Nike are the big winners out of here. 372 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,240 Like there's been a lot of media build up for a long time and so 373 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,720 across all socials, you know, having a female athlete go out 374 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,320 and do that with, you know, all the sport, everyone focuses, it 375 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,320 was great to what I did get excited about was watching her 376 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,040 come out and having that whole team of like athletes around 377 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,880 her. Well let me ask you this then, 378 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,320 if you're added us, let's just pick out of this and it could be 379 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,680 anyone, it could be humour, it could be Soccerny, it could be 380 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,480 whoever. What else is there in the 381 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:09,080 running space that would be worth an investment to try and 382 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,800 create something like that? Is there a time? 383 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,760 Is there a distance? Is there a number? 384 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,680 Is there something? No. 385 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,920 And I think that's why they went there. 386 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,480 That was the obvious next step. They've done the marathon and 387 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,280 then the four minute mile is the other. 388 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,960 I mean the next, the, the next step to me would be the 100 389 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,520 metres. I was going to say, that's what 390 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,920 jumps out to me immediately. Or a or long jump. 391 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,680 If you're yes, if you're talking about because what? 392 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,920 Who's the I wanted to bring this up with you the other week. 393 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,480 Who's the young Swedish pole vaulter? 394 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,560 Who should know his name? Hey. 395 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,760 Aman Duplantis, the Swedish pole vaulter who's basically he's 396 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,400 Swedish American, but he competes for Sweden. 397 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,080 Are you aware of Remind Me? We'll go back to that 100 metre 398 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,720 thing. Are you aware of what he's been 399 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,680 doing with the world record bonuses? 400 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,520 Have you seen this story? No, but I'm I'm making the 401 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,800 assumption without seeing the story, he's just been knocking A 402 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,080 centimetre or two off each time. That's exactly. 403 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,080 What he's doing, he's. Probably got 20 centimetres up. 404 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:10,600 He's exactly what he's doing. He has wouldn't he gets a, he 405 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,640 gets a $100,000 bonus from World Athletics each time he breaks 406 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,680 the world record here. He has broken the world record 407 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,600 12 times. Every time he does it, it's by a 408 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,240 centimetre. And then he says, I've won world 409 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,840 record 100,000. See you next time plus plus 410 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,240 because. Every other sponsor would be 411 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,360 also tipping in on that world record. 412 00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:36,600 Right. And he's only, and this is the 413 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,680 thing, the conditions are that it's only one bonus per meet 414 00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:43,720 that which is why he doesn't bother going again once he 415 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,840 breaks it, he can't. Oh, he like it's not one world 416 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,520 record 2. Exactly, exactly. 417 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,840 So sorry. Going back, we talked about 418 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,200 Duplantis, we were talking about what other space could a running 419 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,360 brand 100. It's. 420 00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:58,480 Speed, right? And if you think about what 421 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,080 captures the imagination, you just talked about Nike doing 422 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,320 this because it keeps them front of mind when people are walking 423 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,240 through Pacfare, wherever it is, buying shoes, speed is the other 424 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,680 one, right? So. 425 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,160 Speed or I, I, I do believe when we're talking like jump. 426 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,440 Yes, I agree. Like jump and like how, what's 427 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,760 the technology to make someone be able to like, because 428 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,800 there's, there's, to me, that's like a bit of an enigma and like 429 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,960 how far can someone jump? Like it's basketball, you watch 430 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,960 it and it's like around that, but think about how long. 431 00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:29,440 So to me it's the long jump. Because isn't the one men's 432 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,840 world Men's long jump world record one of the longest 433 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,880 standing records in. It might be one one of the 434 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,720 longest ideas. I was going to bring those. 435 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,960 OK, Mike Powell of the United States. 436 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:41,840 Wow. That's all because. 437 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,080 He was 1991. Yeah, it. 438 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,600 Was Lewis time? So it's been on, it's been there 439 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,680 for 30-4 years. He jumped 8.95 metres. 440 00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:52,120 So does the the equipment have to catch up with the equipment 441 00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:55,560 of that day? Oh, hi, careful. 442 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,560 Allegedly. Allegedly, allegedly, but no. 443 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,400 Well, I did see you asked me what was the longest. 444 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,960 I did see a post the other day of the longest standing world 445 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,120 record in athletics and it's a fee. 446 00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:10,280 It's the female 100 metre event and they had a picture. 447 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,880 It's a check checklist. Savarkian, I think, lady. 448 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,360 Jamila Craccholi, Volvo, 800 metres, Yes. 449 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,480 And when you? 41 years. 450 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,480 Yes. And when they showed the video 451 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,280 of the event, yeah, maybe we'll do this another week and and 452 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,120 discuss it because it is it's quite eye opening. 453 00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:31,440 It was definitely in the in the Eastern Bloc heyday. 454 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,560 Well, interesting to note, the next closest time is held by 455 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,640 Pamela Chamila. I don't know where she's from, 456 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,320 but Casa Semenya has the third fastest. 457 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,360 But they but they deleted her record. 458 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,040 So this is the thing, they deleted her record but didn't 459 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,200 delete well. They're the well because they 460 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,320 didn't have proven positive drug tests from many athletes in that 461 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,240 or from all the athletes in that idea to to put a bow on the 462 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,560 breaking fall thing. I love it. 463 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,160 I, I hope more brands explore this pathway. 464 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:09,680 I hope more of them try and figure out novel ways to 465 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:16,440 celebrate athletes or efforts or feats in a product that we can 466 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,640 all enjoy and consume in a fun way. 467 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,160 Yeah, perfect way perfect. Perfect way. 468 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,360 All right, Dead Cow Gully, Backyard Ultra. 469 00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:27,400 That's a a mouthful. Yeah, it's not a great package. 470 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaking of package things. I had to go and look at where 471 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,880 because obviously this is a very niche event, like I mean 472 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,920 probably one of the most niche events, but because of the 473 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,320 nature of what a back out ultra is and just running around, what 474 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,720 is it, 6.7 kilometres? 6.7 goes. 475 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,920 Every hour and just keep doing that for as long as you can. 476 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,760 Yeah. So actually, Red Bull raced the 477 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,880 Sun alumni Phil Gore. Is he raced for us? 478 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,840 Is he really? He ran last year. 479 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,600 There you go. And he won and broke the world 480 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:10,680 record by doing 119 loops. So for context, 800 kilometres 481 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,360 in five days. Yeah. 482 00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:15,800 So 119 loops and people. And if your brain's like mine, 483 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,680 you you've suddenly, you've put that on a in a circle, you've 484 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,440 gone what? A loop is a circle. 485 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,520 Therefore, OK, I'm doing 119 loops. 486 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,040 Put that into days. Five days. 487 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:27,840 Now you might think you might be able to sneak a sleep in, but 488 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,920 you've got to run the 6.7 K every hour. 489 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:37,920 Let's say even hypothetically that Phil suddenly has a A4 four 490 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,920 minute K loop in him, right? And he let's just say go 28 KS 491 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,560 the most sleep he could possibly get because then you've got to 492 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,440 be up and ready to go the most sleep realistically he could get 493 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:54,160 on anyone lap might be 20 minutes and I don't even think 494 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,800 you would have got that. So you are going five days where 495 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,040 the most rest you're probably having at any one time is 10 to 496 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,360 15 minutes. Yeah, man, it's it's for one. 497 00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:10,040 It's before any of the running. Yeah, it's great. 498 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,960 I mean, this is the one where I suppose like there's all the 499 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,360 long distance run stuff going around, but this is the one that 500 00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:20,360 puts it into kind of a package. It's all about packages, puts it 501 00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:22,000 in a package and said this is what you got to do. 502 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,440 And so there's an element of like competition there, of 503 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,000 seeing how long and these guys are just going on and on and on 504 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,960 and crazy. So Sam Harvey from New Zealand, 505 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,960 I watched a a YouTube doggo on him the other day. 506 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,120 So he set the New Zealand national record as well. 507 00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:39,160 But he I was watching him. He just like gave up his job and 508 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,920 said I'm just gonna start doing this running stuff for, you 509 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,760 know, seeing how far I can go. And these guys are like, these 510 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,760 are the real heroes. I reckon when you talk about the 511 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,800 distance stuff, you know, like the ultra ultra, like we talked 512 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,080 about Western. So like if you have Western 513 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,960 states, that's like to me, I compare that to Iron Man. 514 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,200 It's kind of comparable in the sense of 14 hours. 515 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,680 It's not a sleep deprivation thing. 516 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,560 You know, elite Iron Man now go a bit quicker. 517 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,160 They're going like 7 1/2 hours. But the average Iron Man will be 518 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,040 out there in around 12 hours or something, 12 to 1314. 519 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,720 So it's in that realm of a day's effort. 520 00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:20,240 This stuff is like, you know, ultra, what would you say? 521 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,960 You've got to deal with sleep deprivation. 522 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,560 You've got to just deal with like the demons of all of that 523 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,200 and everything else going on and have the endurance to keep 524 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,840 going. And to but I think I really 525 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,840 think you cracked it last episode when you talked about 526 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:38,160 the fact that sleep was the the determining factor between what 527 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,480 you and I decided races that are enjoyable and ones that are 528 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,720 torturous. Oh, this isn't. 529 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,480 Enjoyable. No, no, no, that's and that's 530 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,720 what I mean that you cracked it last week when you when you said 531 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,280 that and you just went it's sleep. 532 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,720 It's sleep is what allows you to recover and enjoy things and and 533 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,960 enjoy the pain and and limits that you can test yourself with. 534 00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,680 So this happens all around the world. 535 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,920 Obviously different backyard ultras have started over in the 536 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,560 States, but I had to look up where Runny made what running 537 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,040 runny made was. So this happens out near 538 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,760 Kingaroy, southern Queensland. Yep. 539 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,560 No, no. Well, yes, inland from the 540 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,440 Sunshine Coast, so just out on a property there. 541 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,960 And they've created the event to break the world record, so I'm 542 00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:24,680 having plenty of coverage. I, of course ABC covered it. 543 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,280 I bet you SBS also got on the bandwagon here. 544 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,120 What do you? Reckon he won, Have you looked 545 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:37,240 into that? No, I haven't, but I'm going to 546 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,440 take a. Oh, what do you think this man 547 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,480 has run for five days? 800 Ki. 548 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,360 Think I've heard this. Is this the cow? 549 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,640 The cow Pat. Oh, maybe, maybe. 550 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,120 But I'm looking at the prize money. 551 00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:57,960 Oh, the prize money. Because according to this 2024, 552 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:04,400 last year's winner won $10,000. If you offered me 10, No. 553 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,920 If you offered me 10 grand to run 800 KS. 554 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,160 Better than a lot of other running events? 555 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,280 True. It's better than City to surf. 556 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,720 What's the prize money at City to Surf? 557 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,320 I've looked it up the other I think it's like 2 1/2 grand for 558 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,160 the winner. That seems crazy to me 90. 1000 559 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,000 runners, 2 1/2 grand to win. Really. 560 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000 Yep, don't Fact Check me, but I did. 561 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,360 We were. We were looking at it the other 562 00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:31,360 day for another reason. You you actually you're spot on. 563 00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:34,000 1st place male and female runners each receive $2000. 564 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,680 That's nuts. This is one of the most 565 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,360 participated in fun runs around the world. 566 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,480 Surely they can stump up a bigger purse for the winners of 567 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,120 this thing. I wonder if they stumped up a 568 00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:52,120 bigger purse if they we might see like well here. 569 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,960 Did you race better, harder when the prize was bigger? 570 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,280 Of course, you did put more on the line. 571 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,960 Someone says to you half, $1,000,000 to go run first, 572 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,080 $10,000, you're going to put a lot more. 573 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,840 Now you shouldn't say that because you're not going to put 574 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,240 a lot more in it, but it's just a lot more on it. 575 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,040 You're going to put more priority on that event. 576 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:18,720 Now I know the course has been changed and Mona's record of 40 577 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,600 O 3 is that breakable on the current course, The new course 578 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,560 as it sits. I don't know enough about. 579 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,920 How much the course I. Mean I know in oh here we go 580 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,920 ahead how the course changed but 2020. 581 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,240 Four last year's event. Isaac is it Hain? 582 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,200 Yep, Isaac came one with 4049, so he's 46 seconds back from 583 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,280 Moners. Well, then I'd say yeah, it's 584 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,440 breakable. Is another 20 grand capable of 585 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,120 improving your time by 46 seconds? 586 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,800 Like, you know, imagine if there was even those. 587 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,480 There was $25,000 on offer. It's an interesting 1, isn't it? 588 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,800 I I actually thought until there was 2 1/2 thousand there was a 589 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,560 time, I know when my Shelley was like around winning around. 590 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,080 I'm not sure if he won it, but around that trying to win it. 591 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,800 It might have been just a you got a flight to their sister 592 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,600 event for winning over in a series. 593 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,120 Yeah, I'm I was sure and someone out there right into us. 594 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,880 I was sure the backyard ultra at dead cow gully. 595 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,600 They got it. There's one there's one where 596 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,880 you get literally a bag of cow shit. 597 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,440 That's what you get to take away. 598 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,480 Let us know which one it is, if it if it is dead cow or it's one 599 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:26,840 another one but. Someone's definitely. 600 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,480 Told me that it. Doesn't appear as though Oh no, 601 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,400 he did 2009. Michael Shelley Did he win 2009. 602 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,960 Took it out in a time of 4102, and since then it's been a bit 603 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,080 of back and forth between Harry Summers, Benny Saint Lawrence 604 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,440 and Liam Adams. Yeah. 605 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,720 They've don't say my memory's shot all the time. 606 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,080 No, no, you know that. No, I'm pretty sure I ran, 607 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,000 actually ran that year. He won. 608 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,800 And have you got the results here? 609 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,960 I had a feeling I might have got 5th to 6th. 610 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:54,760 Really. Yeah. 611 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,760 All right. Possibly something around there. 612 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,640 Hey, I my like we didn't put it on the podcast because it was 613 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,120 just going to be too difficult to do. 614 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,600 But this week we my misfortune and not being able to run at the 615 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,160 Gold Coast marathon became someone's good fortune and we 616 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,000 put a little bit of a comp on the social yes and the I just to 617 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,080 let everyone know who who entered or or saw it, the winner 618 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,800 or the person who we've we've given it to great little story 619 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,920 behind it. So it's Timmy is he's going to 620 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:31,320 run it and he runs. Ricky Estale was the one who 621 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,240 submitted him and said he'd be amazing to to get a run and he 622 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,800 does 1/2 marathon. Anyway, he runs for his late 623 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,840 daughter Lunar every year. So she was 3 when she got hit by 624 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,640 a car and he does a marathon every year in in her honour. 625 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,000 And he decided, well, if I can do a few more, he wanted to do a 626 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,040 couple more. So I thought that was a, you 627 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,280 know, a nice story to help someone out who didn't have an 628 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,680 entry.

And I said to her, did it feel 710 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,760 like when you did the last PT session that, oh, I've managed 711 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,159 to get out of that uninjured because that's, and she's like, 712 00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:51,280 yeah, I'm, I, I finished it. When he said we were doing glute 713 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,639 stuff, my brain started going, oh, just don't hurt anything. 714 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,640 Like there was this this mindset for her now which. 715 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,480 Is an athlete. I'm I'm ready now. 716 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,040 I'm there now this is and now so she's really excited, but it was 717 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,760 off the back of last week's episode talking about pacing. 718 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,360 Yes. And I saw a great comment. 719 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,400 I'm not sure if it was on the on Spotify or on the Instagram 720 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:17,880 about Maranoia is how somebody termed it marathon paranoia. 721 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,960 OK, it was AI loved it. I thought it was a great 722 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,560 apologies to apologies. Who? 723 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,680 Whoever used that phrase, but Maranoia was a great way to 724 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,160 describe what a lot of people are feeling and oh, here it is, 725 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,440 Chandra Ralston said. Great episode guys. 726 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,360 Maranoia is definitely setting in for me. 727 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,560 Paranoia. But I haven't heard that one. 728 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,240 Bronte's producer on the radio show is a young fellow named 729 00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:43,920 Harry who is has sort of been shadowing Bronte along this 730 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,200 whole marathon journey. Their their time in runnings 731 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,480 quite similar. And Harry chat at Harry listens 732 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,800 to the podcast. He loves it. 733 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:57,200 And I came out of a meeting on Monday this week and Harry came 734 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,200 into the meeting. It was a big all sort of staff 735 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,680 meeting. And as I was walking out, I just 736 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,360 said to everybody, everybody just show some patience with 737 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,440 Harry. He's running a marathon this 738 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,720 weekend for the first time. So whatever gets said in this 739 00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:11,240 meeting, he will forget because all that's happening in his 740 00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:14,160 brain right now is on what happens if I start too fast? 741 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,840 How am I going to feel AT25K? How am I going to feel to He's 742 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,000 not listening to anything any of you are saying. 743 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,960 He he is completely a zero net result here at work this week 744 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,680 'cause all his attention is focused in on this marathon. 745 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,560 I also I ran into a Luke from he works for the company to medic 746 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:30,760 this. Week he's been. 747 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,320 Listening and love your love your stuff, Luke, particularly 748 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,200 the esky he he said about he's running, but he he reckons he'll 749 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,280 be around Bron. He's like he might be around 750 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,960 that pace. He's been listening along for 751 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,480 that too. He did also tell me, 'cause I 752 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,120 said, oh, how'd you get onto the podcast? 753 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,320 Like how'd you find it? He said he found it on socials, 754 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,440 but he recognised you from you. He was a Sydney boy and he 755 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,200 recognised you from your show with MG. 756 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,400 Uh huh. The big one. 757 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,560 And I like, and then he goes. And then I kind of put two and 758 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,360 two together, who you were. And I went, oh, we might tell 759 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,200 Liam that one. But yeah. 760 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,880 So good luck. Good luck to everyone. 761 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,400 Running. Good luck to everyone running 762 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,400 and again, you know, we'll figure out something for social. 763 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,520 I had no idea. I'll talk to you about it 764 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:11,200 afterwards. Courtney. 765 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,200 Yeah, mate. What about your run? 766 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,400 Where you going? What's going on? 767 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,120 I've been. Off grid four days this yeah, 768 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,640 where we went camping with a whole group of families that we 769 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,040 do trips with. We went funny enough, I was back 770 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,320 out at Tennerfield of all like 2 weeks after Red Bull race the 771 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,480 sun. We went back through 772 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,320 Tennerfield, but then I went another about an hour and a half 773 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,120 further out on some dirt roads till we found a spot where 774 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,760 there's you know, you get away from the mobile reception. 775 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,320 It was freezing mate. The so on the, the first night 776 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,800 we were there, I don't know what the temperature was, but you 777 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,080 know, like I love the fact of winter camping 'cause if you're 778 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,720 gonna go camping and it's cold, it's great. 779 00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:50,160 You put, make a big bonfire and you know, you hang around, but 780 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,920 it still was cold. So it'd be a night scratching 781 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,640 like ice off the car in the morning. 782 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,600 And then it got better after that. 783 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,520 But we were, you know, even the water. 784 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,400 So the kids and, and my son and that we took weddies out because 785 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,800 there's a big rock. The the, the reason we went out 786 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,440 there half as this, this big kind of rock, jump into it like 787 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,000 you would camp on a gorge out there. 788 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,400 And the water was at that temperature where the first day 789 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,080 I jumped in without a wedding and I thought, you know, ice 790 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,520 bath, just jump in freshen up. So I was having a shower and I 791 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,800 lasted all of about I went actually down to see check for 792 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,280 any logs and and stuff. So like if the kids are jumping 793 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,600 off the rocks, you know, make sure it's all clear. 794 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,400 And I probably got down about half a body length in my head. 795 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,160 I'm out of here. That's enough, That's enough. 796 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,240 But yeah. Did you get some running in? 797 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,480 Didn't run. I took the shoes and I just was 798 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,640 relaxing out there. Had all good intentions to run. 799 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,920 Funny thing was we got told you need like forward driving to get 800 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:48,600 in there. Yeah. 801 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,120 And the guy who owned the property said, oh, you know, 802 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,360 just allow for my driveway another hour was 4.2 K. 803 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,520 And we're kind of like, he's probably just taking the piss a 804 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,680 little bit. But he wasn't taking the piss. 805 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:05,000 It was, it was, it was if he needed to test the cars out. 806 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,400 It was a decent slog in there. But yeah, he just relaxed. 807 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,000 But what I did do this morning. So I am back running and I'm 808 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,880 back when I'm I've been jogging to now. 809 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,360 Jogging. Do you course? 810 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,440 So this morning I went down to the Spit with the Gold Coast 811 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,720 Runco. So most of the crew there are 812 00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:25,160 running 5 KS, 10 KS. There's a few running the 813 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,840 marathon. They were doing their kind of 814 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,840 lead up, so we did a 20 minute monofart lick. 815 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,720 So if anyone's listening and thinking what do the kind of 816 00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:37,520 more elite runners do on a Tuesday before the before the 817 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,960 marathon or before you're running the 10K this weekend? 818 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,880 We literally warmed up 20 minutes, jogged, ran a 2020 819 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,800 minute monofart lick. So 290 seconds on, 290 seconds 820 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:53,320 off, 460 seconds on, 460 seconds off 4 thirties, 30s and then 4 821 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,000 fifteens and fifteens to make that. 822 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,960 And the Jacko, the coach, he said, mate, like let's, you 823 00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:02,760 know, give it some like we want to make sure we're woken up, but 824 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,640 also just be conscious. You're racing this weekend. 825 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,520 I know the front, right? The front boys like Giordan, a 826 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,280 few of the boys at the front got down to like 240 pace. 827 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,200 So then. Well, there's Paul, Benita said 828 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,160 in Wednesday's EP. She said that you some of the 829 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,600 runs you want in the marathon week should be faster than 830 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,520 marathon pay should. Well, that's a lot faster than 831 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,400 marathon. Yeah, should. 832 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,440 But, you know, really wake up. I ran through like just 833 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:29,400 conservatively in 345 averages, so you know, so. 834 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,800 Your conservative is back up. There, I'm running, you're 835 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,240 running, I'm running and knocking off about 50 KA week. 836 00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:37,320 But now, now things will ramp up a little bit. 837 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,600 I am. I'm still running, I'm still 838 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,200 plotting a little bit. I've been. 839 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,320 It's amazing how life gets in the way. 840 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:51,160 I've been very busy, but I last week I, I tried a couple of, it 841 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,480 was interesting because I tried to go and essentially run a bit 842 00:40:55,480 --> 00:41:00,920 under 5K pace just to, because I, it has been, I don't reckon 843 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:07,480 I've really tried to run under 5K pace since I hit my car. 844 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,800 So that's three months ago, that's three months ago since 845 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,720 I've really now bear in mind and I know that people going, oh, 846 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,400 that's still good running for me. 847 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,560 When my mind was at with my running four months ago was that 848 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,280 I could do a sub three hour marathon. 849 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,960 That's where my running was at. I was running well, you know, 850 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,640 sub 4 minute K's weren't intimidating to me right now. 851 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,120 The idea of running a sub 4 minute K is terrifying to me. 852 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,920 Like that's where I'm at now. So I did, I went out for a run 853 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,840 the other day. I did 10 minutes warm up and 854 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,760 then I did 4 minutes, not with any pace in mind, but just let's 855 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,920 move a bit more. And I averaged 430 for the four 856 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,320 KS And then I did a cool down. I pulled up so sore. 857 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,720 I pulled up. So just generally it wasn't 858 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,800 there was no tears or strains or anything. 859 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:58,080 I was just sore running just even that 30 seconds quicker was 860 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,640 really sore. So I took a couple of days off 861 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,840 after that, but then I did Sunday just gone. 862 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,720 I've got a nice long for me, long 14K run in nice. 863 00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:09,760 Just touch under 5 minutes. So and everything's everything's 864 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,160 everything's fine, everything's good. 865 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,000 So touch wood now I'm now I'm starting to. 866 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,600 Think of what's next. Yeah, just starting. 867 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,680 Yeah, a little bit of an itch, a little bit of an itch. 868 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,720 Have a look what's around. Figure out what's going on next. 869 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,240 But the body's feeling good. The body's feeling good. 870 00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:27,720 I'm back enjoying running and I am again. 871 00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:29,960 I couldn't be more excited about this weekend to get around that 872 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,920 vibe of the marathon because it's just. 873 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,280 Just goodbye. Good news is we can start 874 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:35,720 talking about ourselves a little bit again. 875 00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:38,240 Man, we're running of. Course, we've been talking a lot 876 00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:39,640 about Buddy. Everyone else is running. 877 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:40,840 Let's be selfish. Yeah. 878 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,200 Now you've got shoe stuff. I've got some gear. 879 00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:45,800 Let's go.

Oh yeah, I do remember those. 1031 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,040 That's OK, just on this, right, Because when I Google Adidas 1032 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:59,640 Terex, very quickly it comes up with that big bright orange 1033 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,080 writing Terex. Yeah, right. 1034 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,120 It doesn't look like an Adidas shoe. 1035 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,880 Because the three stripes are covered, OK, but it's a it's a 1036 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:13,280 kind of outdoor mountain where so like this downhill skiers 1037 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,680 also wear Terex like their clothing or whatever they're 1038 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,120 wearing around. So it's kind of more their 1039 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,840 outdoor brand. You look at that, would you have 1040 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,080 said like that looks like it's own brand? 1041 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,840 Yeah, I wouldn't have said if you so if you showed me that and 1042 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,320 I didn't know Terex that picture you. 1043 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,600 Would say that's not an Adidas. There's no way you'd say that's 1044 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,000 an Adidas. Yeah, haven't you? 1045 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,240 You've got to know that branding, but I mean in trail 1046 00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:38,040 they're they're quite heavy on that branding, right. 1047 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,520 So you know it Plus I did learn the other day it's also mounted 1048 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,000 so snow sports as well. Interesting. 1049 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,280 So if I just go down the list quickly, so you've got Adidas, 1050 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,320 then Hoka, Solomon, Kraft, another? 1051 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:55,000 Brand the cheese.

So like when you come to trail 1069 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,160 running, this is where the real innovation goes. 1070 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:09,840 And now a lot of them say the the Nike Ultrafly 2 that Caleb 1071 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,120 Olson won the race in is a prototype. 1072 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:19,480 OK, so it's not out yet. The what one else can I see the 1073 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:24,920 craft trial? It was a prototype, so the 4th 1074 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,200 in the women. There's a lot more prototypes. 1075 00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:30,160 Lots. Of trialling shoes prototypes in 1076 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:35,040 this but I mean just the range of different shoes that are you 1077 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,400 know across the board in trail, you know that's where real 1078 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:38,920 innovation I suppose is happening. 1079 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,040 It also gives a little bit more play because, you know, on the 1080 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,320 road we all know now the rubber and the plate obviously work 1081 00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,680 together and you've got to have that. 1082 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,720 We're on trail. There's still a little bit of, 1083 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,000 you know, I know that of. Personal. 1084 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,280 Preference run in it, but like, you know, the killing and Jonat 1085 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,520 shoe, the normal like it. It's got rubber, but it looks a 1086 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,200 bit more like a traditional trail shoe. 1087 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,760 You know, a bit lower, you know, lower stacked, whereas the 1088 00:53:01,240 --> 00:53:04,120 Adidas ones are still high stacked with some type of like 1089 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,360 it's not a hard plate, but it's got their, I don't know, their 1090 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,240 proprietary kind of like 3 pronged blade in it. 1091 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,320 OK, here's OK, the the Kailas, I'm going to say that's how the 1092 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,440 brands pronounce Kailas. Yep, really interesting. 1093 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,600 Just a quick Google. So Kailas, it was founded in 1094 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,960 2003. It's relatively new by a 1095 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,720 passionate mountain biker, skier and outdoorsman Baguio Zong in 1096 00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:32,720 China. He founded it to address the 1097 00:53:32,720 --> 00:53:34,880 needs of China's growing population of campers and 1098 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,240 trekkers. Yeah, so this article I'm 1099 00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:39,840 reading here. As it happened, his friendship 1100 00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,440 with numerous dirtbag Mountaineers led to the brand 1101 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,560 developing and producing a growing selection of technical 1102 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,000 mountaineering products for these same friends. 1103 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,040 Kailash, named after Mount Kailash, a famous Tibetan 1104 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,080 pilgrimage mountain, soon found itself as a leading figure in 1105 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,400 China's nascent mountaineering community. 1106 00:53:55,400 --> 00:54:00,600 So basically this is a bloke, he's taken passion, his passion 1107 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,920 for something, combined it with a boom that was happening at the 1108 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,920 time, yeah. And now it's a what seems like a 1109 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,400 fairly successful little project for him. 1110 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:15,240 Yeah. Well, that Fuga that they're 1111 00:54:15,240 --> 00:54:18,920 running in, so that's got that bowler system at the top of the 1112 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,400 range 1. So the Boa system is anyone who 1113 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,720 rides, you know, push bikes on their shoes will know like the 1114 00:54:24,720 --> 00:54:26,720 ratchet system that you actually wind up. 1115 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,480 So like as far as you know, like Salomon, use a speed lace where 1116 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,880 you lock that speed lace down that you've run in. 1117 00:54:33,720 --> 00:54:35,600 The Boa ratchet system's heavier. 1118 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,960 So that's the drawback of it. But the argument is that maybe 1119 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,840 like as you ratchet that down, it can't then release at all. 1120 00:54:42,240 --> 00:54:46,040 Both serve the same purpose. 1 is just done through a ratchet, 1121 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,360 but there's a bit of a weight, you know, I'd say there's a bit 1122 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:50,840 of a wait. What's the L? 1123 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,960 What's pounds technology? Geez, I don't know what you're 1124 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,560 telling. Me well, no, because the reason 1125 00:54:55,560 --> 00:55:00,120 I'm I'm as I dig deeper into coal ash after eight years of 1126 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,720 R&D coal ash this is In 2019, they launched the world's first 1127 00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:07,040 trail running shoe with pounds technology and patented 4 point 1128 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,960 Gator holder system. I'm gonna just guess that is 1129 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,520 just all marketing jargon for something that already exists in 1130 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:14,920 another way. And I'm not joking. 1131 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:20,040 I mean it's like Boa is it was in snow boots and bikes load 1132 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,120 bearing support or lightweight stability. 1133 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,280 Yeah. OK, so it is marketing. 1134 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,640 It's just marketing. You know what I am a bit envious 1135 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,280 of? As I as I was reading through 1136 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,320 that list I saw the S Lab Pulsar 4, the Solomon shoe. 1137 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,080 Their race shoe has been upgraded to the four and I don't 1138 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,360 have it. This is turning into shoe porn, 1139 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,200 by the way. This is this is turning into 1140 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,640 proper shoe porn. We've descended down a rabbit 1141 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,960 hole here. I apologise 'cause it's rare 1142 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,560 that we find ourselves down in one of these things, but we have 1143 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,480 properly disappeared. Courtney has taken us into a 1144 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,000 deep, dark corner of shoe porn. Here to end the podcast, so we 1145 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,680 apologise. Can I just drag us out of your 1146 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,920 dark dirty closet for a moment, Courtney? 1147 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,000 Sure. Gold Coast marathon this 1148 00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,840 weekend, Sydney Major the next one on the horizon for a lot of 1149 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,000 people. We know there's gonna the hype 1150 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,800 around Elliot is gonna start building. 1151 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,800 Kichogo coming to town? Jump on YouTube, there's an 1152 00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:12,920 first episode about Elliot's journey to Sydney 'cause he's 1153 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,280 never been to Australia. Before I did see it was this one 1154 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,560 that had Kangaroos. Well, they show me using 1155 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:19,720 Kangaroos. I think so. 1156 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,920 But yeah, but there's a go and have a watch of it. 1157 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,760 It's just gonna start to build the excitement. 1158 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,440 The other great news as well is, and it shouldn't be, look, it's 1159 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,640 hard when the shadow of Elliot Kipchoga comes along around a 1160 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,120 marathon to get excited about anything else. 1161 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,600 Everything does kind of get put in the shade. 1162 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:40,360 But Sufan Hassan, who is the Netherlands gold medallist from 1163 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,200 last Olympic, Paris Olympics, she signed on, She's coming. 1164 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:50,440 So this is massive that another world class superstar of the 1165 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,960 sport and Kenya's Bridget Cosgay is also running. 1166 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,680 So suddenly this marathon, Yep, it's got major classification. 1167 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,240 But that I guess doesn't entitle you to, doesn't guarantee a 1168 00:57:03,240 --> 00:57:07,360 great race. Suddenly now on paper, Yep, it's 1169 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,080 got the world, the major classification. 1170 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:13,600 Now you've got a field that is worth like, you know, I'm my 1171 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,240 excitement is really building about Sydney. 1172 00:57:15,240 --> 00:57:17,160 Do you know what does guarantee you a great race? 1173 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,280 What's that money? Yeah, you're such a silly get. 1174 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,240 Get back in your dirty. Shoe that is awesome. 1175 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,680 They're all comedy shoe closet. It takes a bit to get you. 1176 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:29,240 You know, I think this is not just running like it is hard to, 1177 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,960 you know, get international superstars down to Australia 1178 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,760 just when they're in season. It is a long bloody way to 1179 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,320 travel. So it does take something to get 1180 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:39,760 them there and it's great to see they're all in town. 1181 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:44,720 Do you know Wayne Larden, the race director acquaintance? 1182 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,320 No, I'm just. I just saw his name mention I I 1183 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:49,720 don't know Wayne. I've never met Wayne. 1184 00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,040 I'm curious to know whether. Wayne was a very, very handy 1185 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,080 runner himself. Was he and and around triathlon 1186 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,040 when I was in my earlier days? Here's something just question 1187 00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:02,960 out of left field to finish the pod, do you need to be a good 1188 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:06,280 runner or have been a good runner to be a good race 1189 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:07,120 director? No. 1190 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,360 OK. Does it help? 1191 00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,280 Because I'm thinking of the analogy of footy coaching to 1192 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,720 footy players, right? I don't think so. 1193 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,480 I think you just got to be an amazingly efficient organiser. 1194 00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,640 OK, Yeah, no, I don't think you have to have run a race. 1195 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,320 I think anything you're doing, it's it it's very helpful to be 1196 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:26,640 passionate about it. There you go. 1197 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,040 That's probably more important. There you go. 1198 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,440 All right, well, we're. Passionate about Have a great 1199 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,520 call at Gold Coast on this weekend and good luck to 1200 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,600 everyone. It's been a long road coming and 1201 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,280 it's on. And make sure if you're not 1202 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,360 already, if you're one of the listeners of the podcast and 1203 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,280 you're not already following the Instagram account, jump on 1204 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,520 because I'm going to be taking over the Instagram account on 1205 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,560 Saturday and Sunday morning at the Gold Coast Marathon 1206 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:47,520 finishing line. Amazing. 1207 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:47,920 All right.
