Dave McNeill - #02

Three-time Olympian Dave McNeill joins the roaming FTK Studio (this week's recording is brought to you by Joel's sister's boyfriend's family's dining table… wrap your head around that!) to bring a whole lot of running knowledge, passion and previously unforeseen levels of maturity to the show. Brett and Joel are left embarrassed after realising they have been mispronouncing the name of their own podcast, but things take a turn for the better as the hosts delve deep into the outcome of the two-mile Handicap Race at the Beachside Gift. Joel and Dave talk about altered training while they manage lasting niggles from Zatopek:10 and other demands on the body such as overtraining and nutrition. Dave, a registered physiotherapist, offers professional insight into the body and injury management while also opening up about personal mental health struggles. The hosts discuss the culture of running within Melbourne Track Club, and reveal some of the nuances that exist to produce such successful results across so many athletes. The usual trademarked segment (you know the one) makes an anticipated return to close out the show.
