In this episode of the Better with Running podcast, hosts Chris Armstrong and Zacca Newman open the show by breaking down their recent performances at the Albert Park 5km. Zacca celebrates a successful return to the racing scene with a sharp 16:25, while Chris reflects on a consistent string of improvements. Despite a 5:00 AM start and a chaotic, aggressive opening 400 meters, Chris clocked a 17:45—a significant jump from his recent outings in Albury and Bendigo. The spotlight then shifts to the newest addition to the Run2PB coaching ranks, Nikki Curry. With a background as a Physiotherapist and a mother of two, Nikki brings a unique blend of clinical expertise and lived experience to the team. She shares her journey of growing up in a running-centric household and later rediscovering her passion for the sport after starting a family. Her recent results speak for themselves, highlighted by a massive performance leap that saw her move from a 2:54 marathoner to an elite 2:41 personal best, culminating in a 6th-place finish at the 2025 Melbourne Marathon.As a coach, Nikki details how her elite-level experience and medical background allow her to communicate effectively with athletes facing setbacks or injuries. Nikki's philosophy is rooted in helping runners of all levels unlock their potential through structured coaching, a journey she knows firsthand is made easier with the right support system and a bit of fun along the way.The episode wraps up with a signature quick-fire round, offering a lighter look at Nikki's life outside of the sport. From her current shoe rotation and"soundtrack of her life" plus her preferred way to eat a potato, listeners get a full picture of the person behind the 2:41 marathon time. Whether you are a parent balancing training with a career or a runner looking to shave minutes off your PB, this episode provides a blueprint for finding balance and high performance in equal measure.For more Coaching details: https://www.run2pb.co/coach-nikki

A bonus Feedback pod today, specifically focused on the news from last week that Golf Australia head honcho James Sutherland revealed on the Talk Birdie To Me podcast, about the Australian Open moving to North Adelaide in a multi-year deal.We've had mountains of feedback from wolfpackers, and it is mixed. Some love the idea, some hate the idea, it would be fair to say that there appears little middle ground, the feelings are strong either way. We start by replaying some of James comments about his excitement about the news, and his confidence that if they get the course right it will be the biggest Open ever.Nick and Mark have been thinking about it since the heard the news, and have some concerns. In a country where we have some incredible golf courses that are world standard in multiple states, courses that players love, it seems a risk to have our biggest event on a course that is not built yet, at least not to Open standard as it's currently a public course. Mark understands that the backdrop of the city, so close to the CBD, will give it something special, however he'd like to know what sort of course it will be, what style of course? Nick has never seen the course, however has a friend who has, and likens it to (for Melbourne listeners) like an Albert Park level course at the moment.The speculated $45 million price tag will be likely to include infrastructure, of which there will need to be plenty, Mark wants to know if that includes fees for some internationals to come here, saying that the $3-4 million Rory was paid to come to Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath will not be anywhere near enough to get him to North Adelaide.Lots of feedback (good and bad) including the legendary Bradley Hughes with his views on the multi-year arrangement.This will evolve, and we're always keen to hear what you think so let us know on socials or comments on the pod itself.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partnerBMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And Southern Golf Club.

The most recent episode of the Better With Running podcast features Chris Armstrong and Zacca Newman discussing their latest training updates and a special interview with Canadian athlete Tony Conforti. Zacca is preparing for his return to racing at Albert Park this weekend, Meanwhile, Chris is in a recovery phase, logging a recovery week of 32km for the week with a focus on strength work and after his recent efforts at the Ballarat Marathon. This weeks guest isTony Conforti, he shares his remarkable journey of improvement since joining Run2PB with Coach Brady Threlfall at the helm. Starting with a marathon personal best of 3:50, Tony has since shaved nearly 50 minutes off that time, most recently clocking a 3:01:02 at the Georgina Spring Fling Marathon. He discussed the challenges of training through one of the harshest Canadian winters in decades, often running in temperatures between -15°C and -25°C. Tony attributes much of his success to being a "student of the sport," maintaining high discipline, and working closely with his coach. During the interview, Tony detailed his race execution and fueling strategy, noting that he consumed approximately 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour using Precision Fuel & Hydration gels. He reflected on the valuable lessons learned from a previous race in Toronto, where aggressive pacing in hot and humid conditions led to a difficult finish. This experience helped him remain in control during his latest marathon, where he felt he was "actually racing" rather than just surviving the final kilometers. The conversation also touched on Tony's background in rugby and Muay Thai, and how his interest in running grew from a fitness requirement into a passion for progression. As a father with a second child on the way, he balances his training and has a prue joy for it. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026, Tony aims to continue his trend of spring and fall marathons while potentially incorporating shorter distances to work on his speed.

At 8 years old, Thibault Manekin watched a man in a white hood kick a kneeling Black boy in the head — and he's spent every year since trying to answer the same two questions: why are we so divided, and how do we bridge it?In this conversation, Thibault — co-founder of PeacePlayers, the program that has used basketball to bring 75,000+ kids together across 20+ countries, and Seawall, the Baltimore real estate company reimagining how buildings can unite cities — sits down with Trey for one of the most unguarded conversations he's ever had on the show.They go deep on the night Thibault's mother brought a homeless man named Charlie home from a freezing Baltimore parking lot — and why he stayed for 25 years. The bus ride into a South African township where 500 kids sang an outlawed anthem at the top of their lungs. The 10-year-old in Albert Park who waved off armed men with a single finger. And the moment in West Baltimore — at the intersection that would later become the epicenter of the Freddie Gray uprising — when Thibault realized America was more divided than the war-torn countries he'd just left.This isn't a story about social impact. It's a story about thinking in 100-year increments while everyone else is fighting over today.► Subscribe and turn on notifications — new episodes drop weekly.

In episode 293 of the Better With Running podcast, hosts Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman check in for a final look at the training logs before the highly anticipated Ballarat Marathon. Chris shares insights into a 63km week focused on recovery and body maintenance, featuring a 4 x 2km session designed to touch on half-marathon and 10km efforts while prioritizing longevity. Meanwhile, Zac continues his momentum, "cracking the ton" with a 102km week that included sharp interval work around the Yarra and Albert Park, capped off by a steady 90-minute long run at 4:22/km.The heart of this episode features the return of Charles Jacobson, a three-time guest who first joined the show back on episode 146. Since returning to the sport in 2019, Charles has undergone a remarkable transformation under the guidance of coach Andy Buchanan. Having once targeted the sub-3-hour barrier, Charles now enters race week with a 2:52 PB and a string of impressive lead-up performances, including a 17:42 at the Bendigo 5km Frenzy and consistent 120-130km training weeks. We hear about his race prep, the taper jitters and how he plans on celebrating the day!Good luck to everyone heading to Ballarat this weekend!With thanks to Oat Running Socks for their support of this episode.

When 80,000 people descend on an event, somebody has made it look effortless. Wayne Taylor has spent three decades being that somebody, from the Sydney 2000 Olympics to Wimbledon, Formula One on three continents, and right here in Adelaide at the Clipsal 500. His company, First Facilities Group, now brings that same discipline to commercial and residential properties (and events) across Adelaide. There is no SA Drink of the Week this episode, but Wayne does weigh in on the relative merits of beer events versus wine events versus spirit events, and the answer is exactly what you would expect from a man who has cleaned up after all three. The Musical Pilgrimage features Steve Davis and the Virtualosos performing “Cellar Door Shuffle,” a celebration of the great South Australian wine country ritual, which also gets a preview mention for the upcoming History Hit Parade show at the Mercury Cinema.

Running Sheet: Gather Round To Learn About Major Events 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week There is no SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:02:17 Wayne Taylor, First Facilities Group Right now, as Gather Round unfolds across South Australia, tens of thousands of people are doing what they always do at a footy match: finding a seat, grabbing a pie, visiting the loo, and not once thinking about any of it. That invisibility is because someone’s doing their job brilliantly. Wayne Taylor has spent the better part of three decades making sure that when 80,000 people descend on an event, the wheels don’t fall off. He’s done it at the Sydney Olympics. At Wimbledon. At Formula One races on three continents. At Clipsal 500 when 200 staff, 15 supervisors and a $300,000 budget had to deliver a spotless result across four days. And he’s done it right here in Adelaide, quietly, at events you almost certainly attended. He now runs First Facilities Group, bringing that same discipline to commercial and residential properties across Adelaide. Wayne Taylor has a habit most of us would find exhausting. Every time he walks into a building, he is quietly checking the mirrors, the bins, the general state of things. It is not fussiness. It is decades of conditioning that started when his parents cleaned Memorial Drive as a boy from Broken Hill, and he mostly just got in the way by raiding the office stationery drawers. That origin story matters because the values Wayne brings to First Facilities Group now, respect, honesty, and an obsessive eye for what others walk past, were baked in early. As he puts it, “If you can’t get your housekeeping correct, how can you then operate your business?” It is a lens that applies equally to a gleaming corporate lobby and to the pit lane at Albert Park. The stories from his career read like an event passport. At the Sydney Olympics he managed 1,100 staff, set an 80% minimum recycling target, and navigated vehicle bomb checks just to get to work each morning. At Wimbledon, he learned that a single cigarette butt on the ground was enough to earn a conversation with the CEO, and that some corporate boxes were quietly serving spirits in coffee cups because you cannot legally drink alcohol watching football in England. At Formula One, a certain unnamed driver, “Mansell,” parked his car next to the waste compactor despite clear signage, and paid for it when a bin tipped onto the vehicle. Wayne watched from the level above and, eventually, laughed. The Clipsal 500 holds a particular place in his story. He worked it for twelve years and is clear-eyed about what it meant to Adelaide after the Grand Prix left in 1995: “The place went dead.” The Clipsal helped rebuild that. His team delivered the best margin in the company that year not through corner-cutting but through relentless post-event debriefs, 4am starts, and crews walking the entire circuit in a line with headlamps, because the lighting was never quite good enough. One of the sharper insights in this conversation is about the people who do this work. Wayne keeps what he calls a little Bible, a list of standout workers from each event. The good ones get taken to lunch, thanked properly, and connected to the next opportunity, whether that is the Grand Prix in Melbourne or something interstate. It is empathetic at a human level, and it also happens to be smart: one well-led supervisor with 20 people will outperform a rabble of 50. His principles for First Facilities Group are unchanged: respect, honesty, punctuality, and a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. He once disciplined his own teenage son for repeated lateness in front of the whole crew, because anything less would have been unfair to everyone else. That is the standard he holds himself to and expects from others. 01:08:34 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Steve Davis & The Virtualosos‘ new song, Cellar Door Shuffle. This song is a love letter to the ritual of winery visits across South Australia, from the Hills to Barossa, McLaren Vale to the Clare. Wayne is still in the room for this one, and Steve uses it to draw a neat contrast from the week’s main themes: beer events are loud, spirit events are rough, wine events are, as Wayne says, “a little more sophisticated.” The song will also feature in the History Hit Parade show with Keith Conlon at the Mercury Cinema. It’s on Monday, May 11, 11am, and Sunday, May 17, at 4pm and it will simply be an enjoyable show of historical anecdotes, fun, and music.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We break down all the action from Melbourne: the pace, the strategy swings, the surprises, and the storylines that will shape the early part of the season. Albert Park delivered again. We look at the World Series of Pro Mod — the performances, the heavy hitters, and the standout runs that kept the fans on their feet. Gainsville always sets the tone, and this year was no different. We talk results, form guides, and who looks dangerous heading into the next stretch of the season. We also dive the Austin Prock interview — his non-qualifier at the Gators and the expectation at the Bob Tasca team.

The 2026 F1 season is OFFICIALLY underway, and the AusGP delivered a FANTASTIC start. In this episode of Paddock 43, we break down an action-packed race at Albert Park that saw George Russell take victory and lead Mercedes to a stunning 1-2 finish ahead of rookie teammate Kimi Antonelli. From an intense opening battle with Charles Leclerc, to Virtual Safety Cars shaking up the strategy, Mercedes managed to pull off a bold one-stop strategy to secure the win. We dive into Ferrari's gamble, Max Verstappen's recovery drive from P20, and the heartbreak for Oscar Piastri, who never even made it to the start of his home race. We also share our experience from the AusGP weekend itself, including what it was like being at the track, our favourite moments, and the stories you don't see on TV. To wrap up the episode, we hand out our Green Flag and Red Flag of the weekend, celebrating the biggest winners and calling out the moments that didn't quite go to plan. If Melbourne was anything to go by, the 2026 season is shaping up to be a BIG ONE!

Tom Clarkson is joined in the Albert Park paddock by former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer and Channel 10's Richard Craill to reflect on an entertaining season opener in Melbourne. Mercedes took the first victory of this new era of Formula 1, with George Russell leading Kimi Antonelli to a 1-2 finish. George might be the favourite to become World Champion, but could Kimi challenge him for the duration of the season? Ferrari's Charles Leclerc finished third, ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton in fourth. Can they take the fight to Mercedes this year? And could we see Hamilton back on the top step? Plus, the guys discuss how far behind Red Bull and McLaren are, a sensational F1 debut from Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad, points for Audi in their first race, and why there may be signs of encouragement for Aston Martin after a very challenging start to the season.

El Gran Premio de Australia de 2026 acaba de inaugurar la temporada de Fórmula 1, pero lejos de despejar incógnitas ha dejado un regusto amargo entre buena parte de los aficionados. Y en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 toca hablar de ello: sensaciones, esperanzas y realidades tras la primera prueba del año. ¿Se confirman las sensaciones de la pretemporada? Lo que debía ser la primera gran prueba del nuevo ciclo técnico ha terminado mostrando muchas de las preocupaciones que ya se habían insinuado en la pretemporada: carreras difíciles de seguir, coches gestionando energía de forma agresiva y una sensación general de espectáculo descafeinado. Las críticas en las redes sociales no pueden ser más feroces. La clasificación ya había dado pistas de por dónde irían los tiros: George Russell se llevó la pole con autoridad para Mercedes, seguido por su compañero Kimi Antonelli, en un resultado que evidenció el buen trabajo del equipo alemán a una vuelta. Ferrari parecía cerca, pero a cierta distancia, mientras Red Bull y McLaren quedaban algo más atrás de lo esperado. La sesión dejó también momentos llamativos, como el enorme esfuerzo de los mecánicos de Mercedes para tener el coche listo antes de la Q3. En carrera, el inicio fue prometedor. Las salidas de los Ferrari fueron agresivas y los primeros compases ofrecieron algunos adelantamientos interesantes, incluidos varios intercambios de posición entre Russell y Leclerc que levantaron cierta polémica por la forma en que se producían, muchas veces más por diferencia de potencia que por maniobras puramente de piloto. Sin embargo, el desarrollo del Gran Premio pronto cayó en una dinámica marcada por las neutralizaciones y las estrategias. El abandono de Isack Hadjar en la vuelta 12 provocó el primer Virtual Safety Car, momento que aprovecharon varios equipos para detenerse. Mercedes incluso realizó una doble parada, mientras Ferrari optaba por mantenerse en pista y tratar de construir su propia estrategia. La carrera siguió ese patrón durante casi toda su evolución: un segundo VSC en la vuelta 19 por el abandono de uno de los Cadillac volvió a agitar las decisiones desde el muro, con pilotos como Lindblad, Verstappen o Bearman aprovechando para cambiar neumáticos. Ferrari, en cambio, retrasó sus paradas hasta las vueltas 26 y 29, apostando por un enfoque alternativo que finalmente no les permitió discutir seriamente la victoria. Se confirma el dominio de Mercedes. El resultado final confirmó el dominio de Mercedes en este inicio de temporada: Russell ganó el Gran Premio, seguido por Antonelli y Leclerc, mientras Hamilton terminó cuarto. Norris y Verstappen (¡que había salido desde la 20ª posición!) completaron las posiciones inmediatamente posteriores. Más atrás destacaron actuaciones como las de Bearman, Lindblad o Bortoleto dentro de la zona de puntos. Lo que oculta la carrera en Albert Park. Pero más allá de la clasificación final, el debate se centra en el tipo de carreras que está ofreciendo esta nueva Fórmula 1. La categoría presumió de haber alcanzado más de 120 adelantamientos, una cifra muy superior a la del año anterior, aunque muchos analistas consideran que ese dato oculta una realidad más compleja: adelantamientos generados por diferencias de energía o potencia más que por lucha directa en pista. A esto se suma la crisis de Aston Martin-Honda, ya plenamente visible en Melbourne. Los problemas de vibraciones del motor, la falta de repuestos y las críticas internas dentro del equipo han puesto el proyecto bajo el foco desde la primera carrera. Y tampoco Williams parece haber encontrado todavía el camino correcto. La temporada apenas ha empezado, pero el Gran Premio de Australia deja una sensación clara: te tiene que gustar mucho el Motor para seguir estas carreras. Le daremos otra oportunidad a ver si en China nos sorprenden. Mientras la Fórmula 1 genera debate sobre su nuevo rumbo técnico, la IndyCar volvió a demostrar en Phoenix por qué sigue siendo una de las categorías más espectaculares del automovilismo. Así que en el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 toca comparar la falta de espectáculo de Australia con el grandísimo espectáculo de Phoenix. Newgarden: calma y autoridad. En el óvalo de Arizona, Josef Newgarden firmó una victoria de gran autoridad tras una carrera intensa de 250 vueltas que mantuvo la emoción prácticamente hasta el final. El piloto del Team Penske supo gestionar perfectamente las distintas fases de la carrera, combinando ritmo, estrategia y experiencia para imponerse finalmente a Kyle Kirkwood y David Malukas, que completaron el podio. La prueba estuvo marcada por numerosas luchas en pista y cambios de liderazgo, con varios pilotos alternándose al frente durante diferentes momentos de la carrera. Rasmussen da un recital de pilotaje. Entre los protagonistas también destacó Christian Rasmussen, que lideró buena parte de la prueba antes de caer en la clasificación final, y Pato O’Ward, siempre competitivo dentro del grupo delantero. La carrera confirmó además el gran momento de Penske en este inicio de temporada. El fin de semana, sin embargo, dejó una nota amarga con el abandono de Alex Palou tras un incidente en pista que lo dejó fuera de carrera muy pronto. El español, que llegaba como líder del campeonato, se vio involucrado en un contacto que terminó con su monoplaza fuera de combate, un golpe duro en términos de puntos aunque todavía con margen para reaccionar en el campeonato. Con estos resultados, Newgarden se coloca en lo más alto de la clasificación general tras dos pruebas disputadas, seguido de Kirkwood y Scott McLaughlin, mientras Palou cae a la quinta posición. Tercera carrera en 3 semanas. La IndyCar ya mira ahora hacia su próxima cita, que será especialmente singular: la nueva carrera urbana de Arlington (Texas). El trazado recorrerá el distrito deportivo de la ciudad y pasará junto a dos de sus escenarios más emblemáticos, el AT&T Stadium, sede de los Dallas Cowboys, y el Globe Life Field, estadio de los Texas Rangers. El circuito tendrá una longitud de 2,73 millas y contará con características poco habituales, como un pit lane dividido y una sección técnica en forma de herradura junto al estadio. La prueba promete ser uno de los eventos más llamativos del calendario, fruto de la colaboración entre Penske Entertainment y las organizaciones deportivas locales. Con carreras intensas, variedad estratégica y luchas constantes en pista, la IndyCar sigue ofreciendo un contraste interesante con la Fórmula 1 (que no nos da nada de eso).

With Supercars gearing up for its second round alongside F1 at Albert Park we thought it was a good chance for you to get to know the sport’s new play-by-play commentators a little better. Chad Neylon, Matt Naulty and Richard Craill have each walked different roads to get to this point and have become good friends along the way. They’ll share the lead calling role throughout the season.Why they are proper car (and bike) fans, the hard yards they’ve done across multiple forms of Motorsport, the grassroots and PA commentary that helped shape them and some of the impressive jobs they’ve done internationally too. From a shared love of ‘The Simpsons’ to the classic bike in the Neylon family plus the scars on Craillsy’s hands from working on his first car (he still owns it and won’t part with it) as well as the King of Story telling - why Naulty also has a forklift driver’s license. Much has been written and said about the sport’s big broadcast changes this year. This chat isn’t about reigniting that…..quite the opposite. The boys are all acutely aware of the magnitude of this job opportunity and very respectful of the legends who came before them. Why Rusty thought a shortcast would be long enough for this one we’ll never know. This is a ripper pub style convo between four Motorsport mates.

The wait is over. Formula 1 is back, the regulations are new, and we have absolutely no idea what's going to happen — which is exactly how we like it.This week we're kicking off the 2026 season with everything that's been swirling around the paddock heading into Melbourne. Charles Leclerc got married, and we have thoughts. Drive to Survive dropped its eighth season, and the internet is split on whether the show still matters or whether it's run its course — we're breaking that debate down with our most reliable chat regulars. Then we get into the racing: Aston Martin swears they've turned a corner, Mercedes has been suspiciously quiet in a way that either means they're cooking or they've burned the kitchen down, and Max Verstappen's already told us the Red Bull will show up with the same colors and not much else.What can we actually expect when these brand new cars hit Albert Park for real? We'll speculate, we'll overreact, and we'll probably lose focus at least twice. Welcome to 2026.

The 2026 Formula 1 Season is finally here!. It's Round 1, and we're kicking off at Albert Park with the Australian Grand Prix. Time for sandbagging over, it's about time we got a real read of who's best, and who's worst. Let's get into all of the details, plus our very first Bangers & Clangers predictions for the year. My name's Tommo, let's talk about it.

La espera terminó: la Fórmula 1 arranca en Albert Park con el nivel de incertidumbre más alto de los últimos años. Tras una pretemporada en la que nadie ha querido (o podido) mostrar todas sus cartas, el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos preparar para el Gran Premio de Australia, que se presenta como el primer examen real para monoplazas completamente renovados en aerodinámica y unidad de potencia. Sin orden ni… idea. No sólo desconocemos el orden real de la parrilla; tampoco está claro cómo serán las carreras en términos estratégicos, qué impacto tendrá la gestión energética ni cómo se comportarán las salidas en este nuevo contexto técnico. A esa incertidumbre deportiva se suman factores externos, con tensiones geopolíticas que amenazan el calendario y generan dudas logísticas en las primeras citas del año. Pero, al menos, el escenario es el adecuado: Melbourne, una pista icónica que celebra su 40.º aniversario como Gran Premio de Australia y que ofrece un entorno espectacular para abrir la temporada. Lo único que podemos saber. Desde el punto de vista técnico, Albert Park (5,278 kilómetros) combina rectas rápidas y curvas de velocidad media y baja sobre un asfalto liso y poco abrasivo. Pirelli ha elegido los compuestos más blandos (C3, C4 y C5), lo que abre la puerta a estrategias variables. Tradicionalmente, el desgaste no es extremo y el número de paradas dependerá en gran medida del comportamiento térmico y de la facilidad para adelantar, un aspecto históricamente limitado en este trazado urbano. Por otra parte, el clima puede volver a ser protagonista. En 2025 la carrera quedó dividida en fases por la lluvia, con salida en intermedios y múltiples cambios de estrategia. Si las condiciones son secas, la referencia reciente apunta a dos paradas como opción dominante, aunque el compuesto blando podría tener cabida si los coches gestionan bien la degradación. Los grandes interrogantes en Australia. Entre los grandes interrogantes técnicos destacan las vibraciones y el software de simulación en Aston Martin-Honda, el seguimiento sobre el motor Mercedes (y la futura medición de compresión en frío y en caliente desde junio) y la incógnita sobre si Ferrari, Red Bull o McLaren han mostrado realmente su potencial. La primera sesión de libres dará pistas clave: número de tandas largas, ritmo de clasificación y equilibrio térmico entre ejes serán indicadores decisivos. ¿Lo bueno? Australia no solo inaugura el calendario: inaugura las respuestas. Y lo hace en un circuito donde históricamente ha habido variedad de ganadores (Michael Schumacher lidera con cuatro triunfos) y donde McLaren es el constructor más exitoso. El Mundial arranca con dudas, pero también con la promesa de que, por fin, veremos la verdad en pista. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

This week, Run2PB coaches Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman are joined by returning guest and "pod veteran" Chris Hillhouse. Fresh off a massive track debut in Hobart, Chris shares his journey from setting PBs on a school footy oval to becoming a 2:38 marathoner. TThe training talk starts with Chris Armstrong navigating a 66km week and a particularly "uncomfortable" set of Deeks Quarters. On the other side of the mic, Zacca is finding serious momentum with a 94km average over the last month. Zac details his BT Fartlek session at Albert Park and continues to build with a spicy long run.Returning Guest Chris Hillhouse joins the conversation to unpack his recent 16:10 debut in a 5000m track race down in Hobart. This performance marks a significant milestone in a rapid progression that began in May 2024. Coached by Josh Harris. He reflects on his Melbourne Marathon debut, where he crossed the halfway mark feeling strong in 79 minutes before facing the inevitable "wall" and emotional struggle that hits at the 27km mark, he rallied and managed to run 2:38.Beyond the running stats, the episode explores Chris's life as a landscaper and the face of "Over the Hill Gardening". Follow Here: https://www.instagram.com/overthehillgardening/?hl=enThe banter continues as the boys dive into the world of icy pole reviews. Chris shares his thoughts on the infamous Juicee icy poles, giving them a lowly 1/10 for taste.The episode wraps up with a discussion on a bizarre story from the Hong Kong Marathon, where a runner was disqualified at the 15km mark. Race officials pulled the participant off the course after realizing he was carrying an infant in a front carrier—complete with its own official race bib. The crew discusses the absurdity of the "baby-bouncing" logistics and compares it to more traditional (and legal) pram running.With thanks to Oat Running our partner,Listeners of the show can get a a 15% discount using "run2pb15" at the check out.

While the show is away we’re taking a look back at some of our favourite bits.. In this episode of The Christian O’Connell Show, a simple café order in Albert Park turns into a quietly infuriating moment when Christian is charged for bacon he never receives. The team unpack why so many of us hesitate to speak up in everyday situations, and are ofren guilty of letting small things slide rather than risking awkwardness.

To kick off the new year, episode 278 of the Better With Running podcast begins with a catch-up between coaches Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman, followed by a detailed interview with athlete Matt Watts and his coach, Forest Robinson.The episode opens with Chris and Zac discussing the challenges of the current Australian heatwave, which has forced many local runners to adjust their training significantly. Chris shares that he recently completed a session of 8 x 1km reps, averaging 3:29 per rep, with a particularly strong final effort of 3:19. He felt much smoother than in previous months, noting that he spent two hours recovering as a "vegetable" after a sweltering 25km long run. Meanwhile, Zac is making steady progress in his "rebuild" phase, hitting back-to-back 80km weeks and finding his rhythm again at Albert Park. He averaged 3:30s during a recent 6-minute interval and is starting to contemplate a return to road racing,This weeks run2pb guest interview is with Matt Watts who describes his relatively recent and rapid progression from a team sports background in footy and cricket to marathon running. After a long hiatus from fitness, he returned to activity via a "Couch to 5K" program, initially motivated by a desire to be a healthy role model for his young daughter. His progression was swift; he went from completing a 27-minute 5K to training for his first marathon in his hometown of Ballarat. Matt reflects on his early experiences as a "cookie-cutter" plan user, explaining that while those generic programs got him started, he eventually reached a plateau where he needed more structure and personal accountability.A major theme of the interview is the transformative effect of working with coach Forest Robinson. Matt explains that the biggest shift from "Old Matt" to "New Matt" is the move away from chasing arbitrary numbers to trusting a long-term developmental process. Forest chats about, focusing on building Matt's volume safely and keep easy runs easy. Matt has embraced this new structure, finding that having a coach in his corner has changed his perspective on training blocks, turning them into sustainable journeys rather than just countdowns to a single race day.With thanks to Oat Running our partner,Listeners of the show can get a a 15% discount using "run2pb15" at the check out.

Después de una semana de vacaciones, por Navidad, el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 regresa en el momento en el que hay noticias más que jugosas para analizar, sobre todo en la Fórmula 1. Motores en el centro de la polémica. En 2026 encaramos el inicio de una nueva era. Pero, antes incluso de que los monoplazas rueden en pista, la gran historia del próximo campeonato gira en torno a los motores y una polémica que ya domina las conversaciones en el paddock. La nueva normativa técnica, diseñada para equilibrar costes y atraer a nuevos fabricantes, incluyó un cambio clave: la reducción de la relación de compresión máxima de los motores de combustión interna de 18:1 a 16:1. Esta cifra define cuántas veces se comprime la mezcla de aire y combustible en el cilindro, y es un parámetro fundamental para la eficiencia y potencia del motor. Sin embargo, equipos punteros como Mercedes y Red Bull Powertrains (con apoyo de Ford) parecen haber encontrado una “brecha” o interpretación del reglamento técnico (artículo C5.4.3) que les permitiría, en condiciones reales de funcionamiento, superar ese límite. La clave está en cómo se mide legalmente la compresión: la relación solo se verifica cuando el motor está estático y a temperatura ambiente. Eso deja una ventana para que, una vez el motor está caliente y en pleno uso, los materiales se expandan controladamente, lo que aumenta el volumen efectivo en la cámara de combustión, y el motor opere con una relación similar a la antigua de 18:1. La importancia de medir bien. Este supuesto “truco” no es menor. Simulaciones independientes estiman que podría ofrecer hasta unos 10 kW adicionales (≈ 13 CV) y traducirse en 0,3–0,4 segundos por vuelta en circuitos sensibles al motor, como el Albert Park de Melbourne. Los demás fabricantes (Ferrari, Audi y Honda/Aston Martin), como no podía ser de otra forma, han alzado la voz y enviado cartas de protesta a la FIA, alegando que esta interpretación va en contra del espíritu de la normativa y rompe la pretendida igualdad de condiciones antes de que la temporada siquiera comience. El lío ya está sobre la mesa: la FIA actúa con tibieza (al menos en ese sentido son coherentes: nunca se mojan). Han defendido que los motores son legales según el reglamento vigente, porque cumplen con la medición establecida. También ha dejado entrever que en el futuro podrían ajustarse procedimientos o textos para cerrar la laguna, pero por ahora la situación se mantiene sin una resolución clara. ¿Qué podría pasar a menos de un mes de que arranquen los primeros motores? Más allá de quién tenga razón, el lío es real: si esta interpretación sigue siendo válida, Mercedes y Red Bull podrían entrar en 2026 con una clara ventaja de rendimiento (una vez más). Y eso beneficiaría, también, a todos los equipos que utilicen sus unidades de potencia (4 motorizados por Mercedes, entre ellos, McLaren; y 2 motorizados por Red Bull Powertrains – Ford). Está claro que se crearía un desequilibrio técnico y competitivo que, desde ya, amenaza con marcar la primera parte de la era 2026.

In this episode of the Better With Running podcast, hosts Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman welcome back Run2PB athlete and Bendigo Bat, Kate Clarke to share her remarkable transformation. Since beginning her journey with Run2PB, Kate has achieved staggering progress under the guidance of Coach Chris, shaving 25 minutes off her half-marathon PB, 10 minutes off her 10km, and recently breaking the 25-minute barrier for the 5km at Albert Park. Her journey has seen her hit recently 50km-per-week athlete which highlights the power of structured training and a dedicated mindset.Beyond the garmin, Kate discusses the vital role running plays in balancing her high-pressure career as an event producer. Often working 12-to-16-hour days on her feet, she relies on her morning miles for mental clarity and essential "me-time." Kate has also become a fixture in the Athletics Victoria (AV) community and also created a tradition of themed baking. From "yo-yo" shortbreads for Ballarat to her famous brownies for Burnley.A major key to Kate's recent performance jump was her work with nutritionist Jessica Rothwell. She shares the "game-changing" realisation that she needed to view fueling as "adding another meal" to support both her training and her demanding job. We also get an insight into her "chaotic" but lovable training partner—Alfie the Labradoodle. . She also reflects on the electric atmosphere of the Sydney Marathon weekend, where she joined the 10km event while supporting her friend Looking ahead to 2026, Kate and Chris emphasize the importance of keeping the "fun" in the process. After a season of massive breakthroughs, she is currently embracing a period of "running, not racing" as she prepares for the next XCR calendar. Her story is a testament to how structured coaching, proper fueling, and connecting with the running community can lead to improvements both on the road and in daily life.
