At the somewhat of a halfway point in this series Caitlin and Tim ‘run’ through their training weeks before being asked to reflect on how well they’re travelling in the big picture of this marathon block. In terms of their training highlights, Caitlin rebounds well after a wet Tuesday to crush her long run workout, Tim banks another 209km week albeit with some blisters and Fraser has his own very lovely Sunday run.
Brett, Joel & Tess begin episode 206 with a lengthy recap of the highlight Australian performances at the Commonwealth Games. Joel and Tess take the listeners through their training week's before Brett closes out the segment with an in depth race recap of his Sunshine Coast Marathon win over the weekend. The crew spread their kudos widely and there's a mix of serious and silly TWHSOITWTWATSA submissions to close out the episode.

Commonwealth Games are underway and we already have 4 medals! Rose Davies and Ky Robinson take out both of the 10000m and if Brett and Fraser are correct it's only the start of Australia's medal run. Sunshine Coast is this weekend but with no official entry lists, the preview was a bit of a struggle.
Brett, Joel & Tess record from seperate studios this week. The team debrief Harbour 10 and Lakeside 10 before reflecting on their old World Champs Special series from a few years back. The team soft launch Brett's next marathon (surely you could have guessed this by now...it's a few days away) while Tess banks a solid week, and Joel is forced to push his long run back a day. The team answer a question on marathon fatigue in "The Big Q" and there's plenty of entertaining chat in our closing segments.

Their holidays are over and for the first time in this series, Tim and Caitlin mix in their training with their work and if you throw in Fraser’s mileage it might just be the most amount of training ever recorded in an FTK episode. There is a bit of shoe chat plus general training chit chat (Seb Coe and Derek Clayton get a mention) and two prominent South Australian sporting heroes make an appearance at training on Friday for Caitlin and Fraser. 5 weeks to go.

Caitlin, Tim and Fraser sit down to record their first episode eight (… or nine) weeks away from Sydney Marathon. The trio recap their races over the weekend with Caitlin’s new half PB a good start for her while Tim and the Socceroos had a different morning. Drop us your questions, comments and any suggestions for show names (and I’ll put it to the others!)
The team recap all the key results from the recent London Diamond League, spending a large majority of the chat on Josh Kerr's Mile World Record. Brett lays down a solid week of marathon training in the lead up to Sunny Coast while Tess (and her 400 training partners) bank a couple of solid workouts. "The Big Q" sees the team share their most overrated/underrated pieces of running advice and the episode closes out with the usual two segments.

Fresh off his win at the Victorian Cross Country Championships at Bundoora, Logy joins Matilda in the Richmond studio to record episode 5 of the series. We hear Logy's training week before his thorough recap of how his race went. Matilda takes the listeners through her week of running which leads to a lengthy discussion on periodisation and de-loading. As always there's plenty of non-running chat for you to enjoy :)
Brett, Joel & Tess are back in the Brunswick Studio (Tess' crib) to record episode #203. Hopefully the audio is little louder after some technical issues (we'll have the popping/clipping fixed for next week). In this episode there's plenty of running chat, a strange amount of weather talk and an unexpected lengthy chat about the TDF. You'll hear how long the team think they can run without stopping in this week's BIG Q segment, and Mike Wazowski gets a feature in TWHSOITWTWATSA.

Enjoy one of the longest standalone episodes of FTK ever! The episode begins with the team recapping the usual highlight results from our Australian pro's, before announcing our latest Patreon-only series. Brett recaps his 4th place half mara result in GC, while Tess lays down a solid week of training as Brett continues to build her mileage. Joel continues to get fitter too, as he announces another race (torture) planned for later in the year. The episode closes out with our usual Big Q, Give Some Kudos and TWHSOITWTWATSA segments.

The episode kicks off with a typical off-topic discussion, this time about plant health and smuggling pocket knives through airport security. The team then unpack the two new Australian records everyone's talking about, before going over last week's training. The Brunswick studio (Tess' place) must have another gas leak as the team forget all about
"The Big Q". There was no chance they could forget about "Give Some Kudos" this week with all three of them giving it to Cam Myers and Sarah Billings. The episode closes out with two stupid and one more serious "TWHSOITWTWATSA" submissions.

Brett, Joel & Tess ditch the regular segments (other than training weeks) to deliver this extended 200th birthday episode. The team answer the following questions (which leads to plenty of off-topic chats, even more laughs and everything else that is synonymous with the FTK brand):
- Their most memorable on-air moment.
- Greatest race memory while on the podcast.
- Their biggest on-air laugh.
- Their favourite guest interview.
- Their standout TWHSOITWTWATSA submission.
As always thanks for listening <3

Brett, Joel and Tess are back in the Hawthorn studio to record the last episode before the big double century. There's plenty of Socceroos chat before the team recap a few key highlights from our Aussie stars abroad. Brett completes his windiest threshold in a long long time while Tess sheds light on why she struggled in the beginning of her week. Brett supplies a gel-related "Big Q" this week from one of his athletes, and the episode closes out with mostly sport submissions in "Give Some Kudos" & "TWHSOITWTWATSA".

The team answer a question from FTK Friend of the Show "Givit" who asks "how much money would you need to be paid to complete a full ironman tomorrow?". Give Some Kudos has one running performance, one piece of music and one miscellaneous activity submitted by the hosts and the episode closes out with TWHSOITWTWATSA.

Brett takes the listeners through his recent Launceston Half Marathon race where he finished second behind Haftu Strintszos. We hear exactly how the race panned out in Tassie, an event which saw some incredibly fast performances across all the races. Tess & Joel put in some good training and we answer "Friend Of The Show" Joe's question on how to approach a 10km race two weeks before a goal half marathon race. The episode closes out with Give Some Kudos, TWHSOITWTWATSA and plenty of other irrelevant tales.

Jack & Matilda are back for another relaxing and enjoyable conversation that covers both running & mindfulness. The episode begins with host Joel reading out a couple of questions for the two stars of the show. Jack & Matilda both run through their training weeks, although the difference in how they share their training is just as different as the training itself. As always there are many side-quest conversations and the episode closes out with "Purchase or Discovery Of The Week"!

Brett, Joel and Tess brave a thunderstorm in the Brunswick studio to bring you episode #196. The team debriefs the stellar results from our Australian professionals racing across the globe before jumping into training weeks. The crew put together strong training weeks and discuss (not scientifically) how Sauna hats are supposed to work. FTK "Friend Of The Show" Sean Gambier-Ross writes in with a question regarding key marathon workouts than can be used to predict race-day performance. Give Some Kudos sees three non-running-related (at least not directly) submissions, while TWHSOITWTWATSA brings it back to the realm of running.

The team were full of laughs this week (even more than usual) to bring you episode 195. We hear a miracle story from The Great Ocean Road Marathon as well as a less-miraculous tale from Tess that involves mixing up the taps in her San Francisco office. A strong training week from Brett, Tess runs everyday while in USA and Joel heads out for his first long run in many moons. The BIG Q submission this week has Brett, Joel & Tess attempt to solve how best to plan your training week when away on holiday. Give Some Kudos has plenty of love being spread around and TWHSOITWTWATSA includes one of the greatest ever on-air FTK blunders.

Brett and Joel are left to their own devices this week with Tess in the USA for work. The pair chat through Brett's birthday weekend before recapping the highlights of the weekend's AthsVic 5k at Albert Park to kick off the XCR season. Brett has an easier Tuesday before joining Jack for a marathon workout on Friday, and sneakily uses the Big Q segment to fire off some questions towards Joel about where he's at with his running. They return to the trails for Give Some Kudos and Brett arrives at TWHSOITWTWATSA with an absolute smorgasboard.

With Tess back with us permanently she's implemented a new rule: no more detailed episode descriptions that give too much away! You'll just have to listen to hear everything that happens in the EP :)
Brett is back at full mileage as Ballarat fatigue sets in later in the week for him. Tess shares the importance of rest days following goal races which allows the body to absorb the race effort. FTK "Friend Of The Show" Chris Barclay submits "THE BIG Q" this week around gym loading and whether or not you should be seeing improvements week after week. In "Give Some Kudos" Tess shouts out a sport close to her heart, Brett hypes up a worm-dance submission from a listener and Joel sends his kudos to a recent music project from a close friend. The episode closes out with three solid "TWHSOITWTWATSA" submissions.

To our FTK community, thank you for sticking with us this past week. It’s been the toughest period we’ve faced since starting in 2022, and we don’t take your support lightly.
In our recent apology episode, we said we’d make real changes, not just talk about them. This week is the first step. We’re genuinely proud to welcome Tess Marks as a permanent host alongside Brett and Joel. Tess brings a perspective and energy that will make the show better, and that matters right now more than ever.
At the start of this episode, we address everything that’s unfolded. We’re not brushing it past or softening it, we’re owning it. What was said on our network was hurtful, and it didn’t reflect the kind of platform we want FTK to be. Brett, Joel and Tess talk through it openly, and more importantly, we outline the changes we’re making to ensure we do better. That includes a clear commitment to better represent and support women in the sport we all love.
We know FTK has a voice in the running community, and with that comes responsibility. This past week has been a hard lesson, but it’s one we’re taking seriously, and using to improve.
The rest of the episode gets back to what we love: racing, community, and the sport itself. Brett and Tess recap their half marathon efforts from the weekend, and we roll into Give Some Kudos and TWHSOITWTWATSA.
We’re still here, we’re learning, and we’re committed to being better.

Our mission with FTK is to create an entertaining, informative and supportive space for all runners. We are incredibly disappointed in ourselves to appear as the exact opposite of this recently. We've let down the women in our sport and we are truly sorry.
This is an opportunity as men to check our privilege and do better. We didn’t live up to our standards. We have recorded a mini-episode to address this in more depth. We hope you can hear us out and whether you stick with us or not, we’ll right our wrongs.
TRAINING WEEKS
After his short trip to Sydney Brett lays down a big week of training. Back to hitting higher mileage (with Ballarat Half Mara in his sights) he claims to cheat-code Thursday threshold which allows him to fly on Saturday hills. The segment ends with Joel sharing details of his "comeback" race, something very different indeed!
THE BIG Q
FTK "Friend Of The Show" Kim Way asks a question about managing mental burnout / low-mo in running. Brett & Joel share personal stories as well as coaching guidance to answer the question.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Brett & Joel join forces to spread their kudos to the recent Sydney Backyard Ultra. They chat about a few highlight performances from the meet and discuss how they think they'd fair at something like that.

Brett begins the segment with a story on accidental-hair-pulling from a recent race, which leads to an awkward and misdirected joke from his co-host. Joel closes out the segment and the episode with a submission from a soldier recording a Strava training run on a vessel.

TRAINING WEEKS
Brett recaps his recent 10,000m performance and talks honestly about why he was disappointed with his race. Joel prompts him to reflect on races earlier on his career that he was disappointed with, which leads to a great conversation on exactly why he's temporarily focusing on the track.
THE BIG Q
Joel takes on the roll of a "Friend Of The Show" this week, asking Brett how long he thinks a runner is allowed to feel disappointed after a poor performance. Brett gives an insightful answer which also addresses how long a runner should feel elated for, after a fantastic performance.

Moving onto the segment Brett isn't sure about a certain comment found on social media regarding the Men's 3000m at Maurie Plant Meet. Joel closes out the segment and the episode with a video of a very unusual cheer squad during a collegiate 4x 400m relay.

Before unpacking the evening through the FTK lens, they chat with Luke about his race-winning performance, look ahead to the Australian Championships, and discuss how it all shapes his upcoming European season. At just 22, Luke brings a grounded mix of maturity and humility to the conversation as he reflects on his journey in the sport.

The episode kicks off with Brett & Joel previewing the highlight meets of this weekend's Maurie Plant Meet.
TRAINING WEEKS
Joel begins by explaining to the listeners he'll be swapping out his (boring) training week's for an upcoming "coaches corner" segment. Brett takes the listeners through his training week which begins with some rapid Monday strides in spikes. Tuesday's workout sees Brian and Brett decide to run faster than the prescribed paces to prepare for the Sound Running 10,000m in America before closing out the week with a solid threshold and an easier long run.
THE BIG Q

What started out strong dwindled in the back half as he prioritised his favourite sport.

TRAINING WEEKS
Kicking off the week Brett takes us through his Tuesday workout prior to his Box Hill Burn 5000m win. While the race recap was on last week's episode, Brett & Joel chatted through his mindset moving forward to this Saturday night's 3000m in Hobart. Joel went to the well in his first Tuesday workout with the PTC crew and fit in a Saturday night threshold as he rushes training before his Pulse 5000m gig (which you've all been waiting on the edge of your seats to hear about).
THE BIG Q
"Friend Of The Show" Scott T writes in with a question on pushing too hard in long runs. Brett & Joel discuss the problems associated with this which leads to a discussion on non-elite runners being influenced to overtrain by social media.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Brett & Joel send their Kudos to all the people that ran, spectated and volunteered at last night's Pulse 5000m.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
After overcommitting with three submissions last week Brett arrives at the segment with the same submission as Joel. Who puts fireworks/firecrackers at the start line of a race?

It’s not quite Hamish and Andy but the next best thing of Fraser and Andy this week as Riley is away sick. There’s Winter Olympics chat, Andy does some sponsor work and training while Fraser gets a second opinion and takes up residence in the sauna. Fraser also shamelessly copies another of his favourite radio segments to finish the show.
An absolute mammoth episode for you all here. Two fantastic races from our OG and 2025 FTK hosts.
TRAINING WEEKS
Brett kicks things off taking the listeners through his week of training from Monday to Sunday last week. Technically his race recap should be in next week's episode but they're always more interesting hot off the press and Brett selflessly doesn't want to take the spotlight away from Joel's pacing recap next week. As for Jack he extends his training week slightly to give some context behind coach Nic's plan to ensure he didn't miss too much training with his race-week flight to Barcelona. Jack gives us a play-by-play of his Australian record run.
THE BIG Q
Thanks to FTK "Friend Of The Show" Nick Watson for posing a question on what choices a runner should make when their performances have stagnated for a couple of years. Brett, Jack & Joel discuss when's the right time to make a coach change, swap race distance goals or even more training location.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Brett & Jack give Kudos to each other this week (definitely well deserved) while Joel sends his to Maciek (Magic Moments) for his stellar filming skills at the Box Hill Burn 5000m.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Brett has three submissions in his arsenal this week (this will likely result in him arriving empty handed next episode) while Jack isn't sure about the bloke that's been breaking Marathon "records" in Jeans. Joel closes out the episode with a shout out to the TikTok edits of Shrek competing on the track.

Welcome to the big leagues, boys.
For those new to TFG, each episode begins with a "cold open"... meaning we hit record as soon as we jump on the call!
So please stick with us through the first few minutes of awkwardness and planning until we get warmed up and the show officially starts. Think of it like the first k on your recovery jog.
Jack Rayner give the boys plenty to talk about after his NR in the Half Marathon on Sunday, The Australian domestic season is underway with the Perth Track Classic and it's race week for Brett.
After Brett's been rabbiting on about the "cold opening's" for far too long, Joel decides he'll try his hand at one. TRAINING WEEKS
Brett lays down another big week of training which sees a shock return to Victoria's much loved racing course - Caulfield. Joel battles sickness but manages one weekend run as he confidently assumes he'll still manage the 9:00min 3000m at the Pulse 5000m on 25/2.
THE BIG Q
Joel's athlete Sam Friend asks his coach a question on when exactly to tackle a HM race in a M block. This leads to a lengthy conversation from Brett and Joel, speaking as both athletes and coaches on when and how to place a 21.1km distance race as you're peaking for a full distance competition.

TWHSOITWTWATSA
Joel isn't sure about a typical Sydney-sider runfluencer run club. Brett takes down fellow FTK co-hosts Grego & Joel while Jude turns detective to shed light on Jimmy Whelan's recent signing with Salomon. This leads to an agreement between the hosts on the certain social media rules (restrictions) that Jimmy must follow if he is to feature on the FTK main show.

"Friend Of The Show" Frankie poses a question primarily to elite runners, which leads to a lengthy conversation on the harsh self-evaluations runners make on their race performances.

TRAINING WEEKS
Brett officially puts his niggle behind him as he pushes the envelope in his Tuesday workout, cruises through a threshold on gravel and backs it up with a solid hit out at Wattle Park. Joel has plenty of questions for Brett surrounding his current fitness level and the benefits of switching to three weekly workouts. Keeping with the trend of "three" - Joel banks 3x runs for the week while surviving a fall in his new favourite sport.
Interview with Ashley Campbell - The Running Footwear Expert Product Line Manager at Nike.

Brett and Joel sincerely apologise (no we don't) for the dB-meter-breaking laughs that are audible throughout this episode (recorded earlier today). They're obviously very excited to be back in the studio after a 12 month hiatus.
TRAINING WEEK
Brett takes the listeners through his training week while shedding light on a recent glute-scare (previously only known to "FTK Friends of the Show) that (thankfully) is all but fully healed. Joel asks him why he chose not to head up the mountain to Falls Creek to join his training partners which leads to a long conversation on training smart and peaking at the right time of the year. To contradict training smart - Joel updates the listeners on where he's at and announces a high-pressure pacing gig for the end of Feb.

The Fall Guys return for their first episode of 2026 feeling refreshed and putting 2025 behind them. Brett is embracing being a track runner once again, Ryan has temporarily relocated south for some cooler conditions and Riley is still deciding what running path to take in 2026.
Lots of fast times over the weekend from Houston and Valencia but most importantly Australia are the World Champs at World XC!
Jack, Joel & Tess jump online together for one last episode before we see another change up (return?) in 2026 programming (any guesses?)
The episode begins with a long recap of what the crew got up to over their breaks before semi-regular programming begins.
Note: This episode was recorded late last week as a "Goodbye" episode so if you're looking for a World XC Results summary then you won't find it here (let's be real - the main FTK show is not where you find deep dives on World Athletics results).
Jack, Joel and Tess thank you all sincerely for the immense support throughout 2025 - our FTK Patreon community especially.

Joel brings up a message between himself and Chelsea chatting about "Hydro-blocks". Oh and there's a lengthy story about free-range eggs.

BIG Q
Friend Of The Show Delaney Pratt writes in to ask our thoughts on using fuel belts for marathon races over the analog version - grabbing cups as you run past.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
No surprises here - Jack gives his Kudos to Mt Fuji...while Joel surprised Jack sending his kudos to...Jack (that's a difficult sentence to read).

Episode #164 sees the FTK '25 crew all back together in the one recording for the first time in a month (Tess: "ONLY THREE WEEKS").
TRAINING WEEKS
Jack takes the listeners through his training week which deviates from its normal structure as he balances Japan's summer with just enough training to keep the body in prime shape for this week's World Athletics Championships 5000m heat. After sharing her training week with partner Nick last week, Tess gets the chance to update Jack & Joel on her fitness levels before Berlin Marathon. Joel wraps up the segment with an update on how his sacrum is healing.
BIG Q
Due to internet connection issues Brett & Joel fill in for the crew here. They (mostly Brett) answer a question submitted anonymously on the reason behind the "disappointing" result of our men's 1500m team in Tokyo.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
The tech-professional Tess highlights a running app, while Jack talks up a feature of his running watch. Joel sends his big-ups in the direction of Straight At It / Mitch Dyer for his impressive work on the ground in Tokyo.
TWHSOITWTWATSA

TRAINING WEEKS
Joel recaps his Sydney Marathon / fishing trip adventures before Jack takes the listeners through his recent 3000m race. No rest for the wicked as Jack jumps straight into a nighttime k reps session post-race.

GIVE SOME KUDOS

BIG Q
This week Jack and Joel take the listeners through how they program their athletes training weeks post goal marathon race. Is it better to take a full week off? Should you jog? When should you return to workouts? All this and (not much more) is answered.
TWHSOITWTWATSA

Spiked Up Episode 58 👯♀️
Rose & Sarah have been busy bees over the last two weeks. In this episode they both go through their Diamond League Final races and their final preparations for the 2025 World Championships.
The World Championships kick off this Saturday 13 September. Keep an eye out on FTK stories for details on their race times.
This episode is brought to you by Pillar Performance.
Episode #162 brings a shake-up! Tess takes the hosting seat with Jack and Jude by her side. The trio kick things off with a Sydney Marathon recap and a little Europe catch-up.
TRAINING WEEKS
Jude and Jack are back at it with near-identical sessions and a monster 160k week. Tess? Let’s just say her lead-up to the Berlin Marathon is more fast and loose than structured…
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Zero running kudos this week- yep, you heard that right. Instead: Jude’s shouting out a local burrito legend, Tess is all about Greek pharmacies, and Jack’s got a sneaky Lime bike/scooter hack you’ll want to steal.
BIG Q
The crew helps Tess settle a dinner-table debate she’s been having with Nick while abroad.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Jude can’t quite figure out a viral Bob Katter interview, Jack’s baffled by Sifan Hassan’s cap antics before Sydney Marathon, and Tess is side-eyeing a US Open blunder.
...and to top it all off, one of our co-hosts drops a special announcement you’ll definitely want to hear

This episode is brought to you by Better Beer. FTK will be at Tarpeian Lawn, Botanic Gardens post Sydney Marathon at approx 10:30am.
Could this be our longest episode ever? (Possibly but we've been too busy this week to check). Also FTK apologises for the delayed release of this episode. I know he hasn't been contacted in quite some time but Jordy Williamsz is still accepting any complaints.
TRAINING WEEKS
Jude steps in to replace Tess for this week's episode. Both Jack and Jude recap their race and pacing jobs respectively while leaving plenty of time for non-running-related discussions, as the trio constantly find themselves in fits of laughter.
JESS STENSON INTERVIEW
Brett & Riley hear what Jess Stenson has been up to recently in their chat. They talk about the huge international stars she'll be lining up against while also discussing about the "race within a race" among the Aussie elite contingent.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Jack shoots his kudos to Linden Hall after her amazing performance, Joel sends his towards Cronulla hosts Kevin, Jaimie and their dog Steve while Jude moves the attention away from human beings and highlights the effort put into the course for Australian Cross Country Championships in Ballarat.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
No athlete is safe this week as we close out the episode with Jack questionining a certain Australian athlete's testing of "the solo table theory". Jude is unsure of the winner of a Victorian Cross Country Championship race and Joel isn't sure why Brett had to highlight his calf muscles in a recent story upload.

Episode 57 of Spiked Up 🫂
Rose goes through an impressive fortnight of training leading up to Silesia Diamond League. She takes the listeners through her race which saw her finish 4th in what turned into a tactical affair.
Where as Sarah battled through the last fortnight in a series of unfortunate events. Luckily for you guys she lived to tell the tale 🧚
This episode is brought to you by Shokz
The episode kicks off with plenty of random life updates from the three hosts before Joel takes the listeners on a deeper dive into exactly what FTK has planned while they're up in Sydney.
TRAINING WEEKS
Tess training week is interrupted constantly by Jack and Joel, yet many of their questions are left unanswered. Despite all the travel Tess manages to get some decent training in as she prepares for Berlin Marathon. Jack takes us through his last week in Hoyos as altitude/cabin fever has well and truly set in. For the first time this year we decide to leave one of Jack's audio drop-outs in so the listeners can understand the chaos that happens behind the scenes. Joel closes out the segment updating the listeners on where he's at with his stress fracture and shares a very frustrating health-insurance related story.
HAFTU STRINTZOS INTERVIEW
As explained on the episode we decided to skip The Big Q this week as we didn't want our conversation with Haftu to be lost in a sea of typical FTK ridiculousness. Brett and Joel chat with Haftu about his disappointing last marathon attempt, returning from injury and he shares the changes he's made for this marathon block to give him the best chance of success on race-day. Oh and did we mention he does all his training solo? Not too many world class runners train that way.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Tess gives her kudos to one of the most absurd things she's ever chosen which leads to plenty of laughs from Jack and Joel. Jack boasts about his newfound love for porridge which leads to a lengthy and unnecessary yarn from Joel about how he hates breakfast food. To close out the segment Joel gives his kudos to the elusive FTK hoodie that will be dropping soon. The hoodie we released two years ago sold like hotcakes (if they're considered breakfast food Joel wouldn't like them), so we are convinced these will move just as fast.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Tess uncovers an upload from the Trail Kings Podcast while Jack throws shade towards a track produced in support of / in honour of / in protest of (we aren't sure) Fred Kerley. Joel closes out the segment and one of our longest episodes ever with a hilarious video of an AI martian that a man befriends in his apartment using virtual reality (you have to see it to believe it).

Friend Of The Show Cal Christopher sends in a question about racing season vs off season and how each period should be approached differently.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Joel sends his Kudos to Melbourne's best Osteo while Jack shouts out the freshly faced FTK youtube channel (he wasn't paid to say this). Tess sends hers to another running product (maybe she is getting paid to say this).
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Joel isn't sure about an Ibiza Final Boss with a Toad-like haircut. Jack sends hate towards a pregnancy reveal of a running couple and Tess closes out the segment with an indoor shopping centre marathon.

TRAINING WEEKS
Jack kicks things off with a solid week of training after his slightly disappointing 3000m race. He lays down a big Tuesday workout and follows it up with 16km of k on, k off with Sondre Moen. Tess does plenty of "interesting" running while away on TDF camp and Joel's marathon training is FINALLY underway (not like him to cram things).
THE BIG Q
Joel's athlete Miles Leyden sends him a text while the team are recording. He gets permission from Miles to ask Tess and Jack their thoughts on the issue.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
In perfect Jack Rayner style, Jack gives his Kudos to a body of water post-run, while Joel sends his towards an early 2000's cycling documentary. Tess closes out the segment by highlighting the Col du Tourmalet.

TRAINING WEEKS
The 2025 FTK podcast hosts are back together are giving up their spot for last week's FTK OG takeover. Jack cracks 160km in his 3x key workout week at Font Romeu where he spends plenty of time training with Sondre Moen (2:05:48 Marathon PB). Joel does another big mileage week that sees him running more often than he's used to and unfortunately for him a fair bit slower than he's used to (especially at this weekend's Ferny Creek run). Tess updates the listeners on the medical issue that surfaced in an MRI which explained why she needed to play it safe and skip some runs later in the week.
THE BIG Q
Tess asks Jack and Joel their opinion on how to coach an athlete that is struggling for motivation this deep into a marathon block. The team discuss a variety of answers that should help the athlete enjoy their upcoming race without the pressure of a pre-negotiated "goal time".
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Jack sends his Kudos to an incredibly fast runner while Tess uses self-reflection during this short period of injury to give kudos. Joel goes left of centre and sends his in the direction of Uranium glass.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Tess is not sure about a certain promotional video seen on the Verve socials. Jack submits his entry which is an interview from a Villanova athlete before his 5000m at the NCAA champs. Joel can't decide between two this week so he does the noble thing and submits both. One recipient has received this award numerous times throughout the season while the second submission is of an anonymous poster of the Facebook page Athletes Australia wanting advice on what super shoes to buy their 9 year old child.

Due to missing microphones and scheduling issues between the 2025 FTK hosts you're all lucky (or unlucky) to have both Brett and Joel recording their sesquicentennial episode together.
TRAINING WEEKS
For the first time this year Brett shares his training week with our non-patreon listeners. You'll hear about all the running he's doing, his current level of fitness and his ability to perform podcast live-shows from inside the sauna. Joel talks about his training week and has the man in charge of it (Brett) there to explain why he's doing what he's doing.
THE BIG Q
Changing things up this week Joel poses two questions to Brett. These two questions were sent Joel's way by his athletes Tess and Jordie (they do not sign a release waiver).

First he has questions around the gym program of the fast Kenyan marathoners before moving his attention towards the less talented (running-wise at least) Conor McGregor during his hill-sprint training. Joel closes out with a strava screenshot of a bloke running a 50km ultra-marathon inside a strip-club.

After a long hiatus from the Q&A Sessions, Joel sits down with physio Carel Wildenboer for his second appearance on FTK. After his previous episode received so much positive feedback we wanted to bring him on again. Joel and Carel chat about a number of topics, with the hopes our listeners will be able to improve not only the way they move but absorb tips on relaxation and mindfulness too.

Jack, Joel, and Tess record episode 132 at Tess’ Brunswick East studio for the first time ever. They kick off the episode by discussing all the latest running news from Marugame, Boston, and Beppu before diving into the listeners' favourite segments.
TRAINING WEEKS
Joel’s training week starts with a bang... or rather, a snooze button. After sleeping through his alarm, he’s forced to join the Pulse crew for a Tuesday night session. He then hits the boulevard for a Friday threshold run with Paul, the Balance Runner. Jack shares details of his track session at Sandringham as he prepares for his indoor season, followed by a typical Thursday and Saturday threshold and hill rep session. Tess, still recovering from her marathon, is slowly finding her rhythm but manages to piece together a solid week of training as well.
THE BIG Q
Tess shares a conversation from her Ferny Creek long run with the crew: Are 20-week marathon blocks superior to 8-week training blocks? Spoiler alert: The answer likely involves some form of suffering either way.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Joel gives kudos to the ‘blue doctor’ — AKA swimming in the ocean immediately post-long run. Jack gives a shoutout to the scenic Lilydale to Warburton trail, and Tess recommends one of her favorite shoes from last year.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Jack kicks off the segment with a questionable Flotrack series on Shelby Houlihan. Tess questions Andy Buchanan’s watch choice for Marugame, and Joel’s choice is something you’ll have to see with your own eyes on FTK’s Instagram story...

Spiked Up Episode 40 - what to expect when you’re expecting with Gen Gregson!
In part one of this special episode Rose gives the listeners the update we’ve all been waiting for and Sarah goes through her training week which included stealing Rose’s Mt McKay CR & some speed work at sea level.
Gen Gregson joins the conversation for part 2 as she discusses running while pregnant. We get to hear all about her experience pre and postpartum with her first born and the challenges she faced when navigating a return to running. Her training looks a bit different at the moment but she explains how much fun she’s having along the way.
The episode concludes with TWSOITWASA which highlights young Aussies setting records & the Keely Classic.

Jack, Joel, and Tess are back in the Richmond studio to record Episode 130. The episode kicks off, as usual, with plenty of side stories and laughs before they dive into their training weeks.
TRAINING WEEKS
Joel takes the lead in discussing their training weeks, starting with how he cranks out some solid k reps before finishing his week with his best threshold yet at Falls Creek—capping off at 139k for his biggest week ever! Jack, also up at Falls, shares his k rep session, completed at a pace Joel can only dream about, before the two recap their last long run on the mountain. Tess wraps up her final Pulse session before jetting off to Sydney for some corporate duties and tackling her first threshold at Centennial Park.
THE BIG Q
A listener writes in seeking advice on a dilemma regarding the Sydney Marathon ballot.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Tess kicks off this segment by giving a huge shoutout to the female runners hitting the road around Centennial Park for their Friday morning jog. Joel recommends a new techno/ambient artist he's been into recently, named Loidas, before Jack wraps up the segment by offering kudos to grass tracks.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Tess takes aim at some controversial choices made by the Under Armour team for their men’s elite kit—let’s just say grey half tights won’t be making the 2025 in-list. Jack shares his thoughts on carbon sandals, while Joel throws Tess under the bus after receiving a photo of her wearing a questionably sized visor…

Brett & Joel shed light on one of their favourite races on the Australian calendar before taking the listeners through Patreon housekeeping. This includes an announcement of our next special series (which will run weekly in addition to The Summer Show and all the extra bonus content. You'd be silly to miss this one. We have FTK hats and FTK perfume dropping next week (remember FTK Patreon's receive early access to merch and 20% off the entire store.
TRAINING WEEKS
This week it's Jude who's flying in km reps on the aqueduct at Falls Creek and is able to back it up with an even more impressive session on Friday morning. Seriously this man is flying. Jack lays down another solid week of training before the two hint at their upcoming American indoor campaign. Joel gets through km reps unscathed and has one of his best threshold workouts in recent memory.
THE BIG Q
This week Joel's athlete Danny writes in about cross training with a upper leg nerve injury. The three guys all talk from their personal perspectives about how best to tackle a situation like this. After answering the question Jack, Joel and Jude all have a laugh at one of Jude's recent cross-training related stories.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Joel hypes up Yoshi and his family for driving all the way from Melbourne to treat himself, Brett & Ryoji before cooking a Japanese banquet feast for the entire MTC training group. Jack highlights his love for coconut water - Joel backs this statement up however Jude likens it to "corn-flakes-water". Lastly you've probably seen lots of him across the MTC socials but Jude delivers a hefty amount of kudos to our Japanese training partner Ryoji - the happiest man on the mountain.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Joel brings up a Burger King marathon, Jack is certainly unsure about the Houston Half Mara finish and Jude brings up a social media comment from an Australian UFC star (or as Joel calls it - fighting sports).
The episode closes out with an absolutely wild story about one of Jack and Joel's old friends Callum "Buddha" Drake.

You'll hear some familiar voices at the beginning of this episode before Jack, Joel & Tess get stuck into their first recording of 2025. The three of them fill the listeners in on what they've been up to recently before the new podcast structure gets underway.
TRAINING WEEKS
Jack shares his ridiculously fast k reps from his first week at falls creek. Tess is forced to self-coach for another week after some miscommunication between her and her coach. Joel trains in Melbourne on Tuesday before heading up to Falls Creek. Jack and Joel run 1h45 together on Sunday, where a toilet stop sees them run rapid in the back half.
THE BIG Q
This week Tess' athlete Bridget writes in with a question about different running surfaces. The three hosts share their thoughts on how best to approach different surfaces and why a mix of everything is the smartest idea.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Thanks to our Patreon Tara we have our fresh new segment where each host must contribute a recommendation each week (usually running related but not always), it could be a person, a product, a store...the options are endless. For the first "Give Some Kudos" Jack and Joel both chose people that they believe go above and beyond to support the athletes training at Falls Creek, while Tess chooses a race that was forced to make a hard decision on the weekend.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Everyone's favourite segment. Tess goes hard on one of her friends for a suspicious Strava upload. Jack is unsure about a great photographers editing choices and Joel throws shade at one of his co-hosts for their horrible attempt at surfing.
We apologise for the poor audio quality of Jack and Joel this week - it will be fixed for next week <3

Epsiode 37 of Spiked Up kicks off with some holiday reflections. Sarah provides some ins and outs for 2025 and Rose’s frontal lobe develops (turns 25). Their training weeks include some highs and lows but they’re back at Falls Creek and motivated for another big year.
The episode concludes with TWSOITWASA (👨👩👧)(📸) ;)
Recorded right at the end of 2024 - Jack, Joel & Tess (the fresh faces of FTK's 2025 main show) sit down together to give the listeners a run down of what to expect this year. The three of them begin by breaking down the new segments and each of them get the chance to tell the listeners their 2025 goals. We then hear the key sessions from each of their training weeks, the very first "Big Q" segment, before ending the show with the classic TWHSOITWTWATSA. Remember listeners - we have room for one more segment so get those submissions in!

This week Brett & Joel are joined with middle distance star and Olympian Abbey Caldwell. After Abbey takes the listeners through her training week in the lead up her 3000m at this weekend's Zatopek race, she gives insight into exactly how her year panned out. One example is how Abbey felt that locking in the 800m Olympic qualifier early, meant she struggled to show up mentally for her European 1500m races. Brett lays down his final workouts in Falls Creek before taking a tumble in Canberra and Joel spends the later part of the week tackling the Melbourne heat.

Introducing "Race 2 The G", a weekly podcast following the journey of three very unique runners with three vastly different goals at Melbourne Marathon 2024. With Joel on hosting duties we have Alice Baquie (of FORRUNNERS app fame), Tess Marks (you've heard from her once before in Amateur Hour) and our elite runner representative Jack Rayner (of LLL&R fame).
Episode #01 is an introduction episode where you can expect to learn what the three have been up to recently, their current fitness level and what goals they have set themselves for Melbourne Marathon in October.

With Brett recording from Falls Creek and Joel from Box Hill the two kick the episode off announcing their partnership with Athletics Australia's Maurie Plant Meet which will be held in Melbourne on February 15th.

Riley chats with Brisbane based marathoner Tim Vincent. The interview starts off horribly when Riley incorrectly assumes Tim is from the Gold Coast. From there, the boys smooth things out and talk about Tim's 2023 season - firstly his 2:17 marathon debut on the Gold Coast, then his 2:12 follow up in Kobe, Japan. Tim shares his unconventional build up to Kobe, and his outlook on what 2024 might hold for him. Finally, Tim shares his love of the round ball game.

Phil gets straight into the oven with some big sessions in Kenya, as he only has around 5 weeks to Seville. Marc talks about the many adjustments in Kenya; not just the running, but dietary changes, weather, and altitude. Phil gives us some insight into how the training setup works in Kenya, and the luxury of the ‘matatu’ - the fuelling vans you often see driving alongside groups of runners. They’re a double edged sword - you can hop in at any point if you’re feeling tired, but if you get dropped, it’s not waiting for you. Marc also gives some insight into joining his NN teammates in camp under Patrick Sang and how he made the decision not to do the marathon block there.
The question for our listeners - does 15 miles constitute a long run?
Please note this is the last episode that will be aired across our free-to-listen network, with all future episodes accessible only via Patreon.

Off the success of our last two marathon training series', we wanted to go even bigger for 2024. Chasing Paris returns for a special UK based series hosted by Matt Seddon, and featuring two of the UK's biggest names - Phil Sesemann (2:08:49 in Valencia 2023) and Marc Scott (12:57 5000m runner). This special first-date episode introduces our host and athletes and gives an overview of what led up to their current marathon builds, with Phil and Marc coming to us live from Kenya. Phil is agonisingly close to the Olympic Standard, while Marc will be going through his first marathon build here on FTK. Strap in, sports fans - Matt, Phil, and Marc are going to be with us until late April. If you got any closer to the action you'd have their sweat on you.

Just as we did with "The Gold Coast Diaries" we are releasing the first episode of "Chasing Paris" across our main network. To hear all remaining episodes you'll need to be a Patreon supporter of FTK.
Welcome to the first episode of our new Patreon only series, Chasing Paris. Episode 1 is a great introduction to what Andy Buchanan and Gen Gregson have been up to over the last few months - Gen has bounced back from Gold Coast Marathon exceptionally well, while Andy has been focused on training and grinding our races in AV XCR. Gen tells us what she might do differently in this marathon build, and Andy shares some travel plans with our own Brett Robinson (cute). There are a few race announcements relating to other athletes that we maybe weren't meant to share, and the show closes with Andy explaining his love for the jelly slice (listeners encouraged to send their jelly slice in for judging - if they dare).

Huzzah!
Our 68th episode kicks into gear with the usual summary of what's dropped on Patreon in the past week. In preparations for a hotter than expected Sydney Marathon, Brett & Joel then share their tips and tricks to ensure those racing in Sydney can still run well, despite the weather. As far as training weeks are concerned, Brett takes us through his "windiest threshold ever" before sharing insight on his marathon race plan in Sydney. Joel returns to group MTC training after missing five consecutive weeks but is unfortunately met with another hiccup towards the end of his training week.
We hope you enjoyed EP 68 (despite Brett making his best efforts to sound like he's shaving for the entire duration of the episode). Good luck to everyone racing in Sydney and remember - if you see Brett on the course make sure you yell "Go Brett" and if you see Joel out there supporting you only need to yell "FTK".

Brett throws Joel off early by arriving at the FTK studio with not only a surprise-shaved head, but with an accompanying announcement that he'd been a guest on another podcast last week. In Joel's training week he lays down a respectable Tuesday, fights the wind at Albert Park on Thursday and does his first double run in a long while. Brett spends 99% of his waking hours in the heat chamber, but somehow finds time to get outside for a ride (his first run back also goes well).

Too many female runners experience sexual harassment while running in Australia.
FTK’s Elise Beacom is joined by Bianca Elencevski, Strategic Planner and Urban Designer, and Brittany De Groot, founder of Flow State Run Club to explore safety on the run from two angles:
- How the design of cities and our built environment influences whether a place feels safe to run (or not)
- How community run clubs are providing “safety in numbers” and encouraging greater female participation in running
If you don’t think this episode is for you, this episode is for you. Everyone has a role to play to make our roads, trails and parks safer for all runners.

The final episode of FTK's second season welcomes Australian marathon record holder, Robert de Castella. This very special interview sees Rob take us through many moments of his incredible career, from humble beginnings to his 2:07:51 1986 Boston Marathon win, the Australian Record to this day. We are lucky enough to hear Rob's typical training week as one of the greatest marathon runners of all time and he shares his thoughts on why his own record still stands over 35 years later. The interview closes out with Rob sharing his involvement in The Indigenous Marathon Foundation. In normal programming Brett makes a difficult but sensible decision to pull out of his 1 hour track race and Joel sees big improvements in his fitness while banking his biggest week since returning from injury.

We discuss the contrast between domestic and international competition, and compare tips and tricks to stay motivated and keep improving our running while the pressure is high.

Welcome to the fifth instalment of season one. Brett & Joel take us through their training weeks in the lead up to the 10km “Run The Bridge” road race in Hobart where Brett took the win and Joel finished 3rd. Brett reflects on a very embarrassing story from “Burnie 10k” a few years ago, the guys take a softer approach to TWHSOITWTWATSA™ after last week’s double homicide and the episode closes out with a plea to the listeners to do their bit in locking in a very special guest in a few weeks time!

Episode four peers into the iron-clad secret identity of the Instagram account @heapsgoodrunners and reveals never-before-heard information into who is behind it. Joel interviews the mastermind responsible for making a mockery of some of Australia’s best athletes, and listeners hear about how the page has risen the ranks with its satirical posts. Brett banks another big week and explains his reasoning for not doing any work at the front of Tuesdays session, while Joel takes us through his fastest threshold to date. Rumours of a separate Q&A segment are floated, and this week’s targets of the TWSOITWTWATSA™ cop a (particularly harsh) beating.

The FTK studio welcomes British Marathon star Charlotte Purdue to Episode Three. Charlotte holds the third fastest Women’s Marathon time in the UK, achieving this feat in the London Marathon following a controversial absence from the UK Olympic team. Charlotte conveniently “forgot” her submission to our infamous social media segment, but was quickly forgiven by providing a very in-depth insight into her career as an athlete so far, delving into the highs, the lows and everything in between. On the training front, Brett returns to complete five laps of the Caulfield Race Course for the first time in two years, and we hear about Joel’s 15-second PB for a third place in the Adelaide Invitational 5,000m. Brett and Joel discuss a training session from hell before sharing this week’s targets of “TWSOITWTWATSAᵀᴹ.”

Three-time Olympian Dave McNeill joins the roaming FTK Studio (this week's recording is brought to you by Joel's sister's boyfriend's family's dining table… wrap your head around that!) to bring a whole lot of running knowledge, passion and previously unforeseen levels of maturity to the show. Brett and Joel are left embarrassed after realising they have been mispronouncing the name of their own podcast, but things take a turn for the better as the hosts delve deep into the outcome of the two-mile Handicap Race at the Beachside Gift. Joel and Dave talk about altered training while they manage lasting niggles from Zatopek:10 and other demands on the body such as overtraining and nutrition. Dave, a registered physiotherapist, offers professional insight into the body and injury management while also opening up about personal mental health struggles. The hosts discuss the culture of running within Melbourne Track Club, and reveal some of the nuances that exist to produce such successful results across so many athletes. The usual trademarked segment (you know the one) makes an anticipated return to close out the show.

The FTK Studio (currently Brett’s girlfriend Saskia’s kitchen table) welcomes Tokyo 2020 Olympian and Australian 10000m Champion Rose Davies to this week’s episode. We delve into the Zatopek: 10, hearing first-hand how Rose captured the win and her inside perspective on the lead pack of the Women’s race. Joel provides a run-down on his race, with some fantastic insight into the men’s front-pack (based on his perspective from a few hundred metres back). Brett reveals his post-Covid recovery and how he is slowly getting back into the swing of things after a slower January. Favourite segments such as ‘Weekly Training Recap’ and ‘Things We Have Seen On Instagram This Week That We Aren't Too Sure About™’ make a highly anticipated return, with lots of laughter and running content scattered throughout.
For The Kudos is a running podcast by Australian elite distance runners Brett Robinson and Joel Tobin-White. Expect professional athlete training insights, race predictions and recaps, and a star studded guest list - all done with plenty of humility, banter, and piss taking that will keep you riveted and coming back each week for more.
