51 | Adidas Adizero Boston 13 & Altra Wild Experience 2 | Selwyn Half Marathon Recap and the Nelson Take over
Join Oska, Tom, and Anna from Front Runner Worldwide for another episode of Run Spesh, their weekly running specialty podcast! This week, the team is buzzing with excitement (and a little exhaustion) as they officially open their second store in Nelson! Hear all about the chaotic but ultimately rewarding week of setting up the new shop. From the surprising challenges of demolishing and building walls (and the unexpected council consent issues that came with it!) to the legendary efforts of friends and family, it's been a true test of their "can-do" attitude. Oska shares his learnings as a boss and the realities of hyper-fixation during a stressful build, while Anna recounts a hilarious (and slightly gross) first-ever half marathon experience complete with mid-race vomiting! Tom also gives an update on his injury recovery, revealing a rotator cuff tear that's put a temporary halt to his swimming. Plus, the team speculates about the future of AI in the running shoe industry and how it might (or might not) stack up against human connection. This episode is packed with behind-the-scenes stories, running insights, and plenty of laughs, all while navigating the exhilarating journey of expanding a small business. Tune in to hear how they powered through the week, fueled by Bunnings sausages and McFlurries, and what their plans are for the ever-growing Front Runner empire!
