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

Jack isn't sure about Santa narrating a video from a Kenyan athlete while Tess isn't sure about Uruguayan athlete's confusion after crossing the line in the Women's Marathon in Tokyo. Joel closes the episode out with a real-life story from one of his athletes in a recent trail race on the Surf Coast of Victoria.
