Cheeky Run Club

Good morning, cheeky listeners! On today's show, we explore the line between when running achievements and content go from being inspirational to demotiviating, particularly in the pre and postpartum space. Watching someone run a sub-3-hour marathon at 32 weeks pregnant is INCREDIBLE – so why do we feel the need to compare ourselves? We also celebrate Australian Cam Myers' 1500m Diamond League final win and play a fun game guessing the top 10 best running cities in the world!!! LINKS: - Send us an email!

Hello Hello! This week, we’re going through and sharing our list of top ten runs you must do in Australia before you die!!! We’ve either run them, watched them, or admired them from afar… but whether it’s the toughness or the beautiful destinations, we’d love to get them done at some stage. Here’s our respective lists… but definitely check out the episode for more details on why these are so special! LINKS: - Send us an email!

Happy Monday fam! Chances are that if you’re listening to this podcast, you’ve heard of Mary McCarthy, an OG running influencer known for her fast pace, injuries, and catchphrase, ‘beat the boys’… We unpack Mary’s new event encouraging women to beat men… but we have some questions about the event's messaging, and ask whether we need to beat men to enjoy running. We then wrap up this week's yap with a 34-week Weekly Waddle update with Phoebe, chatting all things pelvic floor, running and birth prep! LINKS: - Send us an email!

Happy Monday chums! We’re getting philosophical this week – does prioritising our health make us lonelier?
