    Where's Your Head At

    This week on the Better By Next Week podcast, Tim and Ollie lean into big goals, redemption, and the courage to say your ambitions out loud 🔥 From chasing course records at Wild Boar, You Yangs and Surf Coast Century to unpacking the difference between a 17-year-old and a 43-year-old body, this episode is about structure vs intuition, fatigue resistance, and why most runners overcook their easy days. They talk base building, strength work, and the real edge: consistency over hype. But it goes deeper than splits and sessions. Medals aren’t the moment, they’re symbols of it. The real win is the growth, the hug after 20 hours, the quiet proof you’re moving forward. They explore confidence vs validation, how belief is built through repeated action, and why getting comfortable with discomfort changes everything. If you’re chasing something that scares you, this one’s for you. Because getting better isn’t about ego. It’s about who you become in the pursuit.

    MVP - Pop Up Podcast

    On this week’s Better By Next Week podcast, Tim and Ollie take things completely off script with a world-first Backyard Ultra experience 🎙️🔥 For the first time ever, the podcast was set up live at the start/finish line of the MVP Backyard Ultra. Between laps, they captured raw, unfiltered conversations with crews, race director Brett Saxon, and even a runner who DNF’d and stepped straight off the course to share his journey in real time. No polish. No hindsight. Just the truth of endurance as it’s happening. They also break down the race itself , what they saw unfold hour by hour, how fatigue changed decision-making, the moments that mattered most, and the lessons you only learn by being right there in the chaos 🕒🏃‍♂️ It’s an epic, out-of-the-box episode that puts you inside a Backyard Ultra like never before. If you want the heartbeat of ultra running, not just the highlight reel , this one’s a must-listen. 🎧🔥

    P.R.I.M.E.D

    On this week’s Better By Next Week podcast, Tim and Ollie unpack what it really means to be PRIMED — a simple framework that shows up again and again in running, work, and life 🧠🏃‍♂️ P – Plan (Planning for success) Why winging it only works until it doesn’t. We talk about setting clear plans, adjusting on the fly, and giving yourself direction without boxing yourself in 📋 R – Risk (Taking calculated risks) Progress never comes from playing it safe. From races to life decisions, we break down how to take smart risks without blowing yourself up 🎲 I – Intention Training with purpose instead of autopilot. Every session, decision, and habit has a “why” — and when you’re clear on it, everything sharpens 🎯 M – Motivation Why motivation is unreliable and what actually keeps you moving when the excitement fades. Spoiler: it’s not hype 🔁 E – Emotions Learning to sit with discomfort, nerves, doubt, and pressure — and using them as information instead of letting them derail you 😬 D – Discipline The quiet superpower. Showing up on the average days, sticking to the process, and trusting that consistency always wins 💪 If you’re trying to become a better runner, a better human, or just more consistent with the things you say matter — this episode will hit home 🎧🔥

    Brady Nankervis - Better By Next Week

    On this week’s Better By Next Week podcast 🎙️ Tim and Ollie sit down with Brady Nankervis to unpack what happens when running becomes more than training, and starts shaping how you live, work, and help others 🌱 Brady shares the quiet shifts that slowly changed his direction, from life as a tradie to building purpose through running, nutrition, and mental-health support. We dive into career pivots, confidence, and what it really takes to step into work that aligns with who you’re becoming, not who you used to be. The conversation goes deep into social media, pressure, and authenticity, including the moments that redefine what “hard” actually means when running meets real life. Brady opens up about DNFs, emotional finishes, long-distance suffering, and why asking for help can be a strength, not a weakness. There’s plenty of practical gold for runners too. Simple nutrition habits, easy runs done right, mindset versus fuel, early-morning discipline, and lessons learned from everything from a first DNF to finishing UTA and tackling 30 marathons in 30 days 🏃‍♂️🔥 Honest, grounded, and full of perspective, this episode is for anyone chasing growth, purpose, and progress both on the run and beyond it.

    On this week’s Better By Next Week podcast 🎙️ Tim and Ollie welcome two absolute weapons of Australian ultra running, Joel Sexton and Dave “Gatty” Gatt, into the greenhouse 🌱Joel burst onto the scene fast, going from 24-hour events to representing Australia in Backyard Ultras, while Gatty has become known for draining the well at brutal mountain races and delivering legendary King of the Hill performances ⛰️🔥 We rewind to where it all started, unpacking what first drew them to the suffering of ultras and how running reshaped their lives, identities, and perspectives. From KOTH heroics and BYU chaos to near-DNFs, fear, doubt, stubbornness, and those mid-race “what am I doing” moments 😅This episode digs deep into the mental game. How to race when quitting feels close, how to stay present through long nights, rebuild confidence after bad races, and define success beyond podiums. They also share practical gold for listeners, from underrated training elements to managing boredom, anxiety, and life balance.

    The Human Guinea Pig - Part 1

    On this week’s Better By Next Week podcast, Tim and Ollie kick off a brand-new chapter with The Human Guinea Pig 🧪. This episode sets the foundation for a year built on curiosity over ego, asking “what’s possible?” instead of what if. Tim lays out why this year of challenges feels different — less directionless, more intentional — using his own body as the experiment so listeners don’t have to. Ollie takes on the role of observer and handbrake 🧠, helping keep the process honest, structured, and grounded in real learning. We unpack the thinking behind the LOS Challenge, the Sydney Backyard Ultra, and why consistency beats hero sessions when fatigue, stress, and life start stacking up. Along the way, we answer listener questions, jump into Don’t Quote Me On That, and set a new BBNW Challenge — before leaving the story right on the edge of what comes next… 🚀

    Alex Cleary - Better By Next Week

    On this week’s Better By Next Week podcast 🎙️ Tim and Ollie sit down with Alex Cleary for a conversation that goes deep, fast. From chaotic younger years to building a life with intention, Alex shares how he flipped the script without losing himself along the way. We unpack identity shifts, accountability, and the uncomfortable middle ground where you’re no longer who you were… but not yet who you’re becoming 🤯 Alex takes us inside some of his wildest chapters, including attempting to run from Sydney to Melbourne, stopping due to serious health risks, and the lessons that still shape him today. We then head to Antarctica ❄️ where Alex trained for a marathon while working underground in African mines, breaking down how extreme environments sharpen his mindset, fuel his competitive edge, and feed his well known love for “taking souls” when racing. We also dive into Ultraman, addiction, grief, content creation, and building King of the Hill into one of the most electric events in the country 🔥 This episode is raw, reflective, funny, and deeply human. If you’re navigating change, chasing growth, or questioning what’s next, this one will stick with you.

    Better By Next Year

    On this week’s Better By Next Week podcast, Tim and Ollie close out the year with our final episode, Better By Next Year 🎉. This one is part celebration, part reflection, and part looking forward. We spin the wheel 🎡 to give away all our All New Review prizes, revisit some of the biggest moments from the year, and talk honestly about what we learned along the way and what we’d change if we were doing it all again. We dive back into the gear that genuinely worked for us throughout the year 👟⌚, the reviews that surprised us most, and the lessons learned from testing products in real-world conditions, not perfect ones. Instead of talking New Year’s resolutions, we focus on changing habits and building routines that actually lead to long-term lifestyle change. Small, repeatable actions that stack up over time and help you keep showing up when motivation fades. We also break down our favourite events of the year, share insights from the BBNW Challenge, and reflect on what we learned not just as runners, but as people. A big, meaningful way to finish the year and set the tone for what’s next 🚀
