This week on The Long Run, we go deep on the little things that spark big opinions. In Hot or Not, we debate toe socks, racing with music, naming your Strava runs, and how runners really decompress post-run. Elton drops a fresh shoe review, and in this weeks Runner’s Science, we break down the real deal with electrolytes—what you need, when, and why it matters. We wrap things up with a training recap from both Angus and Elton as the build to Sydney Mara continues.

In this episode, we break down race highlights from the Gold Coast Marathon and record breaking Dead Cow Gully Backyard Ultra. The listeners have spoken and we've listened, tackling the question of grip socks (Hot or Not) and unpacking the big running debate of do you actually need a shoe rotation? We wrap up by diving into our own week of training and how we are tracking as we build toward our next races.

In our first episode, Angus and Elton introduce The Long Run—a podcast for everyday runners who love all things running. We share what we’re training for, how our weeks look, and have a quick look at the Gold Coast Marathon and other races around the world.

We kick off our first Hot or Not segment testing nose strips (and checking the science), plus a sneak peek at the segments you can expect in future episodes.

Lace up and join us on The Long Run.
