    Episode 68 | Sota Maehara | Perth Track Classic & Lark Hill Party Ultra

    Monday 3rd March 2025 In this week's results we cover results from Perth Track Classic and the Lark Hill Party Ultra, along with WA performances at the Tokyo Marathon. A very special interview this week with YouTube sensation Sota Maehara, an ultrarunner, race photographer formerly of Tokyo and Sydney, but now spending his days in Perth studying a Masters in Physiotherapy and training toward some longer road events throughout the coming year. In ‘Whispers of WARP’ news as we congratulate the WARP monarchy Matt Maguire on his wedding over the weekend and some possible baby news means that we may be looking for a new team member for our Transcend team later this year.  Frozen marathons, financial advice, a Kilimanjaro marathon attempt, and a classic WARP toilet story dominates this week’s weapons of WARP.    Reach out and connect!
