50 episodes of Spiked Up 💅

For this milestone episode the girls give their Xiamen Diamond League race recaps!

Rose came in clutch, running a new PB of 14:40.83 and in turn bettering her own Australian Record. It’s a great start to her international season & it will be exciting to see what she does this year.

Sarah had her first diamond league podium finish in the 1000m, placing 3rd in 2:33.45 moving her to #2 Aus all-time.

It’s no secret the Spiked Up girls love China🇨🇳

Welcome listeners to episode 144- the last hurrah from the Richmond recording studio.

TRAINING WEEKS


Jack and Joel go through another injury riddled week. Meanwhile, Tess carries the FTK squad on her back with a strong showing at the Ballarat Half Mara.

THE BIG Q


Should non-bibbed legends be allowed to support runners mid-race? The team debates rogue pacing, sideline coaching, and whether your mate handing you a gel should be a criminal offence. Big thanks to listener Andy Shand the question.

GIVE SOME KUDOS 


Jack pays tribute to an underrated fruit. Then, Joel and Tess shoutout the entire Marks family for being outrageously lovely humans for their recent acts of kindness.

TWHSOITWTWATSA


Tess isn’t sure about the boys’ latest Showerhead record promo. Jack isn’t sure about a video of Joel that surfaced on nocontextaustrack. While Joel brings attention to a marathoner that competed the 42.2km in ski boots. Yes you read that right, SKI BOOTS!!!
