For The Kudos

Big episode tonight with Brett and Tess hosting the episode. Joel took a well deserved break from hosting duties to enjoy his trip in Kenya. They take you through their training week recaps before diving into their very different Sydney Marathon experiences - Brett pacing the lead Aussie men, and Tess spectating from the course with her brother.

This episode is brought to you by Better Beer: Brett, Joel & Tess record over zoom this week with Joel calling in from "The Home Of Champions" - Iten, Kenya. The episode begins with the team recapping recent race highlights as well as the usual sharing of what they've been up to since they last recorded. As for "Training Weeks", Brett & Tess hold up the segment themselves while Joel substitutes running for travel-related-tales. Due to time zone differences and commitments Joel bails from the episode, leaving Brett & Tess to close out the episode without him.

Matilda shares her taper week leading into the Wonderfalls 25km win, where less running made room for more mindfulness, before recapping race day.

Hear what a taper means to them, what their thoughts on the course are and whether they’ve studied it and also what they will be focusing on in race week. If you see Caitlin, Tim or Fraser out on course be sure to cheer their names or give them the Joel treatment of just yelling ‘FTK’. Either works.

After her one week hiatus, Tess is back on the airwaves, joining Brett & Joel in the Hawthorn studio. In training week's Brett returns to intensity while Tess continues to build consistency with her new program. Then for the first time in as long as everyone can remember - Joel recaps a race win. He takes the listeners through the successful parts of the Wonderfalls 50, opens up about what went wrong, and everything else that happened during his 4h40min performance . This week's "Big Q" is all about "super sessions" towards the end of a marathon block and as always, the episode closes out with our usual "Give Some Kudos" and "TWHSOITWTWATSA" segments.

Things for your listening bingo card; track 5000m races, police interactions, aborting sessions, bread and lots more.

With a change in recording schedule this week Tess was unable to join Brett & Joel for the episode. Brett & Joel realise quickly that without Tess, anarchy unfolds in the Hawthorn studio. That said, Brett & Joel try their best to take the listeners through each of FTK's segments without diverting the topic of conversation too much. The crew will be back next week to recap Joel's trail run!

Sunshine Coast is this weekend but with no official entry lists, the preview was a bit of a struggle.

Brett, Joel & Tess record from seperate studios this week. The team debrief Harbour 10 and Lakeside 10 before reflecting on their old World Champs Special series from a few years back. The team soft launch Brett's next marathon (surely you could have guessed this by now...it's a few days away) while Tess banks a solid week, and Joel is forced to push his long run back a day.

There is a bit of shoe chat plus general training chit chat (Seb Coe and Derek Clayton get a mention) and two prominent South Australian sporting heroes make an appearance at training on Friday for Caitlin and Fraser. 5 weeks to go.

Brett, Joel & Tess are back in the Brunswick Studio (Tess' crib) to record episode #203. Hopefully the audio is little louder after some technical issues (we'll have the popping/clipping fixed for next week). In this episode there's plenty of running chat, a strange amount of weather talk and an unexpected lengthy chat about the TDF.

The episode kicks off with a typical off-topic discussion, this time about plant health and smuggling pocket knives through airport security. The team then unpack the two new Australian records everyone's talking about, before going over last week's training. The Brunswick studio (Tess' place) must have another gas leak as the team forget all about "The Big Q". There was no chance they could forget about "Give Some Kudos" this week with all three of them giving it to Cam Myers and Sarah Billings. The episode closes out with two stupid and one more serious "TWHSOITWTWATSA" submissions.

We hear exactly how the race panned out in Tassie, an event which saw some incredibly fast performances across all the races. Tess & Joel put in some good training and we answer "Friend Of The Show" Joe's question on how to approach a 10km race two weeks before a goal half marathon race.

The team were full of laughs this week (even more than usual) to bring you episode 195. We hear a miracle story from The Great Ocean Road Marathon as well as a less-miraculous tale from Tess that involves mixing up the taps in her San Francisco office.

With Tess back with us permanently she's implemented a new rule: no more detailed episode descriptions that give too much away! You'll just have to listen to hear everything that happens in the EP :) Brett is back at full mileage as Ballarat fatigue sets in later in the week for him. Tess shares the importance of rest days following goal races which allows the body to absorb the race effort. FTK "Friend Of The Show" Chris Barclay submits "THE BIG Q" this week around gym loading and whether or not you should be seeing improvements week after week. In "Give Some Kudos" Tess shouts out a sport close to her heart, Brett hypes up a worm-dance submission from a listener and Joel sends his kudos to a recent music project from a close friend.

To our FTK community, thank you for sticking with us this past week. It’s been the toughest period we’ve faced since starting in 2022, and we don’t take your support lightly. In our recent apology episode, we said we’d make real changes, not just talk about them. This week is the first step. We’re genuinely proud to welcome Tess Marks as a permanent host alongside Brett and Joel. Tess brings a perspective and energy that will make the show better, and that matters right now more than ever. At the start of this episode, we address everything that’s unfolded. We’re not brushing it past or softening it, we’re owning it. What was said on our network was hurtful, and it didn’t reflect the kind of platform we want FTK to be. Brett, Joel and Tess talk through it openly, and more importantly, we outline the changes we’re making to ensure we do better. That includes a clear commitment to better represent and support women in the sport we all love. We know FTK has a voice in the running community, and with that comes responsibility. This past week has been a hard lesson, but it’s one we’re taking seriously, and using to improve. The rest of the episode gets back to what we love: racing, community, and the sport itself. Brett and Tess recap their half marathon efforts from the weekend, and we roll into Give Some Kudos and TWHSOITWTWATSA. We’re still here, we’re learning, and we’re committed to being better.

Our mission with FTK is to create an entertaining, informative and supportive space for all runners. We are incredibly disappointed in ourselves to appear as the exact opposite of this recently. We've let down the women in our sport and we are truly sorry. This is an opportunity as men to check our privilege and do better. We didn’t live up to our standards. We have recorded a mini-episode to address this in more depth. We hope you can hear us out and whether you stick with us or not, we’ll right our wrongs.

TRAINING WEEKS After his short trip to Sydney Brett lays down a big week of training. Back to hitting higher mileage (with Ballarat Half Mara in his sights) he claims to cheat-code Thursday threshold which allows him to fly on Saturday hills. The segment ends with Joel sharing details of his "comeback" race, something very different indeed! THE BIG Q FTK "Friend Of The Show" Kim Way asks a question about managing mental burnout / low-mo in running. Brett & Joel share personal stories as well as coaching guidance to answer the question. GIVE SOME KUDOS Brett & Joel join forces to spread their kudos to the recent Sydney Backyard Ultra. They chat about a few highlight performances from the meet and discuss how they think they'd fair at something like that.

This episode is brought to you by the McGrath Launceston Running Festival After Joel asks Brett what he's been up to the past week and is met with a mundane answer he assumes the floor and bangs on with several mundane stories surrounding his recent camping trip. TRAINING WEEKS Brett updates the listeners on how his body recovered from the Sound Running 10,000m. While he appeared to dodge any soreness in the first part of the week, his calf stiffened up which lead to a modified training week.

This leads Brett and Joel to provide advice based on multiple different factors.

This episode is brought to you by the McGrath Launceston Running Festival TRAINING WEEKS Brett recaps his recent 10,000m performance and talks honestly about why he was disappointed with his race. Joel prompts him to reflect on races earlier on his career that he was disappointed with, which leads to a great conversation on exactly why he's temporarily focusing on the track. THE BIG Q Joel takes on the roll of a "Friend Of The Show" this week, asking Brett how long he thinks a runner is allowed to feel disappointed after a poor performance. Brett gives an insightful answer which also addresses how long a runner should feel elated for, after a fantastic performance. GIVE SOME KUDOS Brett sends his towards Cam Myers for what the guys say is one of the most incredible runs they've ever seen. Joel sends his to an exciting new furniture design studio.

Moving onto the segment Brett isn't sure about a certain comment found on social media regarding the Men's 3000m at Maurie Plant Meet.

This episode is brought to you by the McGrath Launceston Running Festival TRAINING WEEKS Kicking off the week Brett takes us through his Tuesday workout prior to his Box Hill Burn 5000m win. While the race recap was on last week's episode, Brett & Joel chatted through his mindset moving forward to this Saturday night's 3000m in Hobart. Joel went to the well in his first Tuesday workout with the PTC crew and fit in a Saturday night threshold as he rushes training before his Pulse 5000m gig (which you've all been waiting on the edge of your seats to hear about). THE BIG Q "Friend Of The Show" Scott T writes in with a question on pushing too hard in long runs. Brett & Joel discuss the problems associated with this which leads to a discussion on non-elite runners being influenced to overtrain by social media. GIVE SOME KUDOS Brett & Joel send their Kudos to all the people that ran, spectated and volunteered at last night's Pulse 5000m. TWHSOITWTWATSA After overcommitting with three submissions last week Brett arrives at the segment with the same submission as Joel. Who puts fireworks/firecrackers at the start line of a race?

What a week for The Fall Guys, as Brett emerges victorious under the bright lights of Box Hill - but will it be enough to win the Cam Myers Award? There’s plenty of running news to get through - Gout Gout, Keely, Osaka Marathon, and more. Plus, we find out who blocked Brett on Instagram this week, and we learn the population of Norway.

There’s Winter Olympics chat, Andy does some sponsor work and training while Fraser gets a second opinion and takes up residence in the sauna. Fraser also shamelessly copies another of his favourite radio segments to finish the show.

An absolute mammoth episode for you all here. Two fantastic races from our OG and 2025 FTK hosts. TRAINING WEEKS Brett kicks things off taking the listeners through his week of training from Monday to Sunday last week. Technically his race recap should be in next week's episode but they're always more interesting hot off the press and Brett selflessly doesn't want to take the spotlight away from Joel's pacing recap next week. As for Jack he extends his training week slightly to give some context behind coach Nic's plan to ensure he didn't miss too much training with his race-week flight to Barcelona. Jack gives us a play-by-play of his Australian record run. THE BIG Q Thanks to FTK "Friend Of The Show" Nick Watson for posing a question on what choices a runner should make when their performances have stagnated for a couple of years. Brett, Jack & Joel discuss when's the right time to make a coach change, swap race distance goals or even more training location. GIVE SOME KUDOS Brett & Jack give Kudos to each other this week (definitely well deserved) while Joel sends his to Maciek (Magic Moments) for his stellar filming skills at the Box Hill Burn 5000m. TWHSOITWTWATSA Brett has three submissions in his arsenal this week (this will likely result in him arriving empty handed next episode) while Jack isn't sure about the bloke that's been breaking Marathon "records" in Jeans. Joel closes out the episode with a shout out to the TikTok edits of Shrek competing on the track.

Welcome to the big leagues, boys. For those new to TFG, each episode begins with a "cold open"... meaning we hit record as soon as we jump on the call! So please stick with us through the first few minutes of awkwardness and planning until we get warmed up and the show officially starts. Think of it like the first k on your recovery jog. Jack Rayner give the boys plenty to talk about after his NR in the Half Marathon on Sunday, The Australian domestic season is underway with the Perth Track Classic and it's race week for Brett.

After Brett's been rabbiting on about the "cold opening's" for far too long, Joel decides he'll try his hand at one.   TRAINING WEEKS Brett lays down another big week of training which sees a shock return to Victoria's much loved racing course - Caulfield. Joel battles sickness but manages one weekend run as he confidently assumes he'll still manage the 9:00min 3000m at the Pulse 5000m on 25/2. THE BIG Q Joel's athlete Sam Friend asks his coach a question on when exactly to tackle a HM race in a M block. This leads to a lengthy conversation from Brett and Joel, speaking as both athletes and coaches on when and how to place a 21.1km distance race as you're peaking for a full distance competition. GIVE SOME KUDOS Brett kicks off this segment by shouting out his Japanese training partners who are back in Melbourne training with MTC. Jude sends his kudos to fellow Queenslander Liam Boudin on his recent Marugame HM result. Joel closes out the segment with someonerunning related, in Jimmy Gressier. TWHSOITWTWATSA Joel isn't sure about a typical Sydney-sider runfluencer run club. Brett takes down fellow FTK co-hosts Grego & Joel while Jude turns detective to shed light on Jimmy Whelan's recent signing with Salomon. This leads to an agreement between the hosts on the certain social media rules (restrictions) that Jimmy must follow if he is to feature on the FTK main show.

Brett & Joel record over zoom this week as Brett doesn't want to risk catching whatever Joel has. TRAINING WEEKS Joel kicks the segment off with his big Sunday run that featured 500m at 2:55/k pace (stress-fracture incoming?). Brett starts the serious running with another three solid weeks, culminating in his first laps + hills workout at Wattle in over 12 months. THE BIG Q "Friend Of The Show" Frankie poses a question primarily to elite runners, which leads to a lengthy conversation on the harsh self-evaluations runners make on their race performances. GIVE SOME KUDOS Brett swaps the running shoes for cycling cleats this week to talk all things carbo-loading. Joel swaps carbs for crustaceans as he promotes oyster-loading to the listeners. TWHSOITWTWATSA Brett has plenty of questions for a particularly talented FTK listener while Joel highlights an absolutely cooked reel of a woman channeling Kanye West (just you wait until you see this). Joel closes out the episode throwing in a bonus video for the listeners.

Who knows what listeners are going to get in those first few minutes. Cam Myers!!!! What can't he do! A super Impressive 7.27 3000m at the New Balance Indoor games in Boston while easily dominating a quality field. Linden Hall and Sarah Billings both open up their season well while Jess Hull with a very rare sub par performance. Boston and Tokyo Marathon fields are out and its marathon season again for the Australians! If Cam Myers wins AOTW the award will be renamed in his honour.

Brett and Joel decide to switch up the energy for their second week back on the airwaves - this time relaxing into "sleuth" mode on Brett's 100m long couch. TRAINING WEEKS Brett officially puts his niggle behind him as he pushes the envelope in his Tuesday workout, cruises through a threshold on gravel and backs it up with a solid hit out at Wattle Park. Joel has plenty of questions for Brett surrounding his current fitness level and the benefits of switching to three weekly workouts. Keeping with the trend of "three" - Joel banks 3x runs for the week while surviving a fall in his new favourite sport. Interview with Ashley Campbell - The Running Footwear Expert Product Line Manager at Nike. Last week Joel sat down with Ashley, calling in from Nike HQ to chat all things footwear - specifically the fresh Nike Vomero range which includes the Plus & Premium models, as well as a deep-dive on the Nike Structure Plus. This one is for all the shoe heads! GIVE SOME KUDOS Brett sends his segment towards the direction of an underground talent - Cam Myers (his first award on the FTK network?) while Joel congratulates an old friend of his and FTK's. TWHSOITWTWATSA After an early stumble Brett finds his feet and goes after the runners that cut the course in the recent Valencia 10k (or was it the HM?). Joel closes out the episode with a recap of a recreational road race overseas that saw a podium-promise "yeeted" into a nearby field.

Brett and Joel sincerely apologise (no we don't) for the dB-meter-breaking laughs that are audible throughout this episode (recorded earlier today). They're obviously very excited to be back in the studio after a 12 month hiatus. TRAINING WEEK Brett takes the listeners through his training week while shedding light on a recent glute-scare (previously only known to "FTK Friends of the Show) that (thankfully) is all but fully healed. Joel asks him why he chose not to head up the mountain to Falls Creek to join his training partners which leads to a long conversation on training smart and peaking at the right time of the year. To contradict training smart - Joel updates the listeners on where he's at and announces a high-pressure pacing gig for the end of Feb. BIG Q With the Pulse 5000m next month Brett & Joel answer a question that was asked at Tuesday evening's PTC workout regarding goal-time-strategy for the 12.5 laps of the track. GIVE SOME KUDOS Trying out a new personality in 2026, Joel decides to take the piss for the first GSK (don't sue us GlaxoSmithKline) of the year. Brett holds up the integrity of the segment by highlighting the upcoming Pulse 5000m. TWHSOITWTWATSA Joel kicks off the segment with a reel from a bloke completing a 5000m Strava run on the top of his fridge while Brett gets absolutely punk'd by his co-host in repeating a submission from last week.
