Hello and happy Monday :)

We had the absolute privilege of sitting down with the one and only Jess Stenson again – this time for all things Marathon related.

We picked her brain about her performance at the Sydney Marathon event, from preparation to crossing the finish line, mental toughness and the difference a crowd makes, and even what her go-to cereal is before a race!

And with the World Athletic Championships this week, we’ll keep you up to date on any big developments on our socials too – so be sure to give us a follow!

GOOOD MORNING sunshines!

Today, we’re talking about a skill that is truly under appreciated in the running world – patience.

We discuss how it contributes to a sustainable and injury-free running program, and share how we’re practicing patience (trying to) while navigating sickness and injury.

We also delve into a scandal that has rocked the running world aaand Phoebe has given us a fantastic running rec that’s made her shin splints go away entirely, so be sure to keep an ear out for that!

Happy Spring!

This week, we tackle a question every runner has asked themselves at some point in their journey… What do you do with yourself when you can’t run? Well, Anna is officially a pro and is coming through with some tips and tricks to get through a running hiatus.

While she’s giving out advice, Anna gives us some tips on how to prepare and fuel yourself while you’re travelling or life in general is a bit hectic.

We’ll also take a look at some of your most unhinged running habits – and boy, were there some weird ones! We’ve crowned our favourite as this week’s Cheeky Lululemon Champion, so keep an ear out for that.

Welcome to a new week, friends!

Ever run a PB, finished a marathon, or hit another big goal and kind of felt… eh? You may be experiencing what’s called the ‘arrival fallacy’.

This week on the pod, we’re reflecting on times we’ve ticked off big goals of ours, how satisfied we felt afterwards, and whether the journey was more important than the destination.

We also have a lot of exciting news sprinkled throughout the episode – a chance to bag yourself a nice sauna outing before work in Melbourne, some awesome Lululemon events at the Sydney Marathon in a few weeks, and of course, we’ll share this week’s Lululemon Cheeky Champion!
