In our training series finale, Chris catches up with Matt, Kat, Denzel and Nita a couple of weeks following the Perth Running Festival with a State Marathon Title, a podium in the Half Marathon, a performance of the day PB and a confidence boosting half marathon PB.

We share stories of poo on the side of the freeway, celebratory beers, race reflections and future plans.

This WA Running Podcast Training Series followed 4 athletes as they worked toward their goals at the 2025 Perth Running Festival. Thank you to Matt Smith, Kat Watt, Denzel Gould and Nita Traeger for putting it on the line and sharing their journey with us.
