A special interview only episode this week as we chat to the wonderful Gaby Villa from Intenseatfit to recap a whirlwind week for her as she subbed in for Gemma to crew the backyard ultra GOAT Phil Gore at last week’s Dead Cow Gully BYU.

We chat to her about her official crewing debut, what it takes to fuel a body for 119 yards, and the state of Phil’s feet deep in a back yard ultra.

We also chat to her about sweat testing, Simon’s sweat test results and final tips as he gears up for Gold Coast Marathon.

Monday 23rd June 2025

This week we cover results from the Ultra Series Cape to Cape Ultra Marathon, and the Runningworks Heaven & Hell Trail Marathon.

We discuss our current state of maranoia, which includes Chris taking a rest day for the first time in 8 weeks, and Simon’s potential toilet issues on Saturday, before his body and mind crumbling at the thought of doing a trail run with Shane Johnstone at the Transcend x WARP Community Run.

We were meant to chat to Gaby Villa this week to discuss Simon’s sweat test results, but after a last minute call up to crew for Backyard Ultra GOAT Phil Gore, Gaby is currently busy giving foot rubs and foot baths at Dead Cow Gully over in Queensland. We hope to have her on for a special interview only episode next week.

Colin Dismuke, Andy Carrington, Margie Hadley, Hannah Paget and Belinda Neo are this week’s Weapons of WARP.
