About the show

Australia's grassroots running and endurance podcast. Olympian Courtney Atkinson and Triple M's Liam Flanagan talk marathon training, trail and ultra running, triathlon, shoes and gear — with guests like Matt Hauser, Andy Buchanan and Benita Willis. Two blokes who actually train, talking honestly. No coaching-speak, no highlight reel, no punditry from people who don't do the sport. Recorded on the Gold Coast. New episodes weekly on Saturdays.
