25: Harry Lancaster

In this episode, we explore the journey of Harry Lancaster, a marathon runner who faced significant setbacks due to bone-stress related injuries and subsequent diagnosis of osteoporosis. Harry shares his experiences with training, nutrition, and the challenges of coming back from a significant layoff and a condition that usually affects people twice his age. He discusses his gradual return to running, the importance of strength training in aiding his recovery, and his upcoming races, including the Manchester Marathon. A great conversation on the importance of overall health for runners and how to stay positive when working through difficult periods in life.

24: Cole Gibbens

We speak to people who love running all the time. But Cole probably loves it the most. With his sights set on a sub 2:20 London Marathon debut in 1.5 weeks (pending recovery from an altercation with an e-scooter), we hear from Cole on his recent training, running history, shared family obsession, and scientific understanding of the sport and what contributes to performance. And for the lovers of rice pudding, we spend a good little while having Cole the connoisseur put us through our paces on what constitutes a good one. Josh and Michael have their own trips down rice pudding lane, and there's a bit of riffing on what you could experiment with to make the king of puds. Not one for the chefs.

23: Rayne Holland

Our next guest for S3 is Rayne Holland, who ran a perfectly paced 2:48:30 at Melbourne Marathon 2024 in her first ever race. To this day she's never run a 5k, 10k or half marathon and yet is gearing up for a big PB at the Ballarat Marathon by knocking off consistent 150k+ weeks. Rayne's deep understanding of the factors that influence running performance, and her commitment to doing everything in her control are rare for someone with so little time in the sport.

19: Time For a New PB

Race week. Josh is ready to go large in Barcelona. He's in and around PB shape. The chat is about the last few weeks of training including a 5k best (and second best) for Josh and a bit of detail about how to think about the taper. Conclusions: highly personalised and more art than science. Special episode will follow on Friday or Saturday to talk about the nuance of Josh's prediction and race planning.

18: Tune Up Races and Easy PBs

2 weeks of training plus 1 week of taper to go before the first edition of the sub 2:28 challenge at the Barcelona Marathon. Josh has hit a 200km training week for the first time this block and is 80% sure he'll be in PB shape come race day. Michael has pulled out on the back of some rookie mistakes. The bulk of the episode is about how to think about, plan and benefit from B races around your primary race goal (like a marathon), to take advantage of that fitness you've built. Lots of details around responsible scheduling and some of the risks when think about additional races. Episode wraps up with Josh musing about whether to represent Germany or the UK at the European Road Running Champs in Brussels.
