49 | Brooks Ghost 17, London Marathon Recap, Anna's Race Week and Other Stuff
Join Oska, Tom, Anna, and the returning (but temporarily unemployed) Kat as they dive into a week of life, training, and general brain chaos. Kat recaps her incredible London Marathon experience, from the chaotic start line and insane crowd support to the post-race medical tent drama (and projectile vomiting!). In this episode: Kat's Marathon Story: Hear all about the buildup, the four-wave start, fueling strategy, the overwhelming atmosphere (Tower Bridge goosebumps!), and the bizarre finish line experience that led to a wheelchair and a very public post-race purge. Marathon Brain: The crew discusses the temporary cognitive decline that comes with running 42.2km – is "Ridge" the new term for it? Fan Mail & Apologies: They read a hilarious email from a "long-timer" and issue a public (sort of) apology to Tom for their usual teasing. Neighbourhood Drama & 5 S Soldiers: Anna reveals her love for local Facebook group antics, sparking a discussion about community "Snap Send Solve" initiatives. Comparing Race Experiences: Kacompares the London Marathon's atmosphere and city-wide support to racing in New Zealand. Post-Race Feast: Find out what Kat devoured after crossing the finish line (wine, blue Lucozade, anyone?). Tune in for the usual Run Spesh blend of running talk, tangents, and questionable humour
