The T100 World Series is launching on the Gold Coast — and there’s a fast, flat 10K for the RUNNERS finishing in Surfers Paradise - ENTER HERE .

Bondi run-club takeover (community or chaos?), athlete vs influencer lines, Vaporfly DQs on the track, ON’s “squeaky shoe” lawsuit, trail tips for bigger runners, Perth marathon with no expo, and Liam teases a big running announcement next week.

Aussie endurance chat with a smile — runners assemble.

Strength in the gym, freedom on the run. We kick off with Courtney’s “stretch under weight” recovery hack, deload weeks, and a salty swim at The Spit.

Then: Strava crown drama—listener Paddy nicks one of Courtney’s segments—plus the running boom (Sydney Marathon’s mega ballot) and Liam’s spicy pitch for two-day marathons.

We celebrate the big-unit brigade with Ty Dowker’s new 100-kg “Over the Century Club” category at the Burleigh Swim Run — happening Australia Day weekend. Sign up here 👉 Burleigh Swim Run 2026.

There’s a full Noosa Tri debrief (Matt Hauser flying, a stolen front wheel… yikes) and somehow we end up in the Tinder universe.

Plus: Kipchoge’s plan to run a marathon on every continent, and Diplo’s 5K run-and-rave movement sweeping the globe.

Hit play, have a laugh, then go chase a crown (or a coffee).

Jelly Roll week was something else. Liam and Courtney debrief on the wild ride that saw them chatting running with a global music star just hours before his first Aussie gig.

From Jelly’s “I know nothing, so I know everything” quote to his newfound AFL fandom, the boys unpack the mayhem, the meaning — and his Brooks running shoe revelation.

Then it’s into the big stories in endurance this week:
🏃‍♂️ Treadmill World Champs announced (Run X, 2026)
💪 Fitness racing joins triathlon’s Olympic umbrella
🏎️ Supercars finals & fitness crossovers
🥇 Courtney’s Olympic blazer dilemma
🚴‍♀️ Noosa Triathlon preview – the legends, the first-timers & “Fitness Christmas” vibes

We sit down with American singer and songwriter Jelly Roll in Brisbane hours before his took the stage for his first Australian Show to a sold-out arena.

We talk running, weight loss (540lbs → 280), tour culture turning from bars to miles, Clydesdale pride, Jelly Roll's Losers Run Club, HYROX, shoes for big runners, and picking an AFL team.

Honest, funny, all heart - the man is a PREACHER

New World Triathlon champion Matt Hauser drops in to unpack his World's win less than a week ago.

The viral swim start, LeBron “gun” celly, and why T1 composure wins races—plus training sweet spots, Paris 7th, a Noosa preview, the mindset shift from imposter to leader, and the team that makes it possible.

Fresh off coaching Matt Hauser to a World Championship title, Aussie triathlon mastermind Dan Atkins jumps back on the pod — just two days after the win — to break it all down.

From the anthem moment on the podium to the perfect swim start, the mindset behind Hauser’s “Fu*k U energy".

We also dive into:
🏊‍♂️ Front-end swim secrets (“Friday is for speed”)
🥩 Carb loading and race-week nutrition tips for Noosa
🛌 The truth about sleep and taper week
🚴‍♀️ What to eat, drink & avoid on race day
😂 Plus, Liam’s “tri-suit toilet” PSA you’ll never unhear.

Big energy, big insight — and a few big laughs.

Courtney and Liam are back, and the big fellas are fired up! After last week’s chat with Justin Weight, the true 100+ kg Clydesdale crew have come swinging — Bo Jones leads the charge, demanding justice for those who “make the ground shake.”

Meanwhile, the Currumbin stairs have been demolished. Cue Courtney’s solution: 700m of vert, a backpack full of creek water, and maybe a snake encounter or two.

Plus:
🏋️‍♂️ Rucking vs running — is weight on your back the next endurance hack?
🚗 Bathurst brilliance & Chaz Mostert’s post-crash beer moment of the year
🏖 The Coolingatta Gold gets chopped in half — has the sport lost its soul?
📈 Garmin vs Strava’s logo war, bone stress injuries, and why running in wine country is never as good as it sounds.

🔥 From snakes to Clydesdales, this one’s pure Aussie endurance chaos.

A shoutout to our Athena & Clydesdale Noosa Triathlon athletes. Meet Justin Weight, 20-year Noosa Tri veteran, Clydesdale podium-getter, gear junkie, and Australian General Manger of SleepHealth company ResMed. From calf carnage, dodgy Temu purchases & Form tech-goggles.

Why the “big fellas” deserve their own post-race bar — this ep celebrates every athlete who turns up heavy but gives it heaps.

Courtney & Liam dig into the real Clydesdale life, the rise of sleep tech, and how you can race smart (and stay uninjured) on the Road to Noosa Tri.

🎙️ Featuring: Justin Weight, Courtney Atkinson & Liam Flanagan
