Better with Running

This week on Better With Running, Chris and Zacca share their training highs and lows. Chris continues to impress, with another session of grueling 400m intervals and a successful long run. Zacca, on the other hand, experiences a training week full of twists. He starts strong with a fantastic session on Saturday, leaving him feeling motivated and race-ready. However, his long run takes a turn for the worse, forcing him to DNF (Did Not Finish) due to quad issues. We hear about Zacca's emergency treatment with Run2PB legend & physio James Telford, and his journey back to running pain-free.

Next, Joshua Webster from Run4Rossy joins the show. They delve into the upcoming event at Caulfield Grammar this weekend. Joshua shares the inspiring story behind the event, which honors the legacy of Chris Ross and his "List for the Living"

The episode concludes with a spotlight on a phenomenal #teamrun2pb athlete, James Allen. James signed up for coaching by Matt Davy in April 2023 with a previous marathon PB of 4:04 and a simple goal of having a "good" marathon. Fast forward to the Melbourne Marathon this year, and James crossed the finish line with an incredible 3:06, smashing his PB. We get to hear James' running journey, the valuable lessons he learned under Matt's guidance, and his answers to Chris's signature quickfire questions.
