In our second-last episode for the year, we’re wrapping up 2025 with a big ol’ reflection. Did we hit our goals? What surprised us? What are we working towards in 2026?

Georgia opens up about what finally cracking sub-4 meant — and how it reshaped her relationship with racing. Matt shares why missing his performance goals stings more than expected, and how he's reframing next year to chase unfinished business. We talk burnout, boundary-setting, prioritising community over personal milestones, and what happens when you find yourself back at square one (but with the wisdom of experience).

Also inside:
– Georgia’s big year: sub-4 marathon, London, co-ownership, brand deals
– Matt’s brutally honest take on falling short of sub-10 Ironman
– 2026 goals: from Lonely Mountain to Project 100
– Why supporting others might just be your next big goal
– Morning run or night run? We kick things off with a rapid-fire “This or That”

– How many B-races can I fit into a marathon block?
– How do I come back after injury or time off?
– What should I focus on with 10 months until my marathon?
– Do I need rest days, or just better structure?
– Why do I feel flat after racing, even with a PB?

It’s the final Q&A of the year and you guys did not hold back. From building up to your first marathon to whether you can jump straight into an Ironman, Georgia and Matt answer your most asked questions.

Georgia opens up about triathlon nerves, building back energy after a tough few weeks, and why 2026 is her year to start owning her role as co-owner of TPP. Matt breaks down long run strategy, injury confidence, and his approach to helping athletes stay consistent (even when everyone around you is chasing PBs).

– Should I do a separate block for half + full marathon or combine them?
– How long should my long runs be in marathon prep?
– Can I do an Ironman without doing a 70.3 first?
– Do I have to train for performance, or can I just run for fun?
– Heart rate says one thing, body says another — which do I trust?
– Time-based vs distance-based training — which is better?
– Triathlon 101: What actually happens in transitions?
– How do I rebuild after a stress fracture or injury?
– Am I actually getting fitter or just better at suffering?

This week is all about getting quicker over 10km — whether you’re chasing your first PB or want to sharpen up for 2026 goals. Matt breaks down the exact intervals, training blocks, and weekly structure he uses with beginner and advanced athletes, and Georgia helps translate the nerdy bits into plain English.

We also chat shoes, fuelling before short runs, and how many runs a week is actually enough to get better.
