Chriso and Zacca kick things off with a training update. Chriso's been focusing on strength training and elliptical work as he cautiously returns to running with 1-minute jog/1-minute walk intervals. Zacca, on the other hand, racked up a solid 80k week, including his beloved Threlfall fartlek session.

Next, the dynamic Nigel Preston from Single Track Events joins the guys for a chat about all things trail and ultra running. They discuss Nigel's successful Hong Kong trip promoting 2025 events, including the GPT100 Miler, which recently achieved prestigious Major status!

This week's #teamrun2pb athlete interview features the inspiring Wayne Oram. Since joining run2pb in March 2024 under Coach Brady's guidance, Wayne smashed his marathon PB, going from 3:34 down to an incredible 3:20! Hear how he powered through the second half of the race at Sydney. Wayne shares his running journey, from his lightning-fast sprinting days (including a 50-second 400m and an 11-second 100m!) to his transition to road and trail running. He talks about his passion for the sport and why it's so important for him to be a role model for his children. Finally, Chriso grills Wayne with some "medium-paced" questions about his shoe rotation, favorite gels, and what food he would happily live on!
