Clean air quality advocates in Allegheny County held a virtual town hall meeting this week to push for increasing certain industrial operating fees. Cleanup work at a contaminated former dishware factory site in Falls Creek, Pennsylvania, is underway.

Jack, Joel, and Tess are back in the Richmond studio to record Episode 130. The episode kicks off, as usual, with plenty of side stories and laughs before they dive into their training weeks. TRAINING WEEKS Joel takes the lead in discussing their training weeks, starting with how he cranks out some solid k reps before finishing his week with his best threshold yet at Falls Creek—capping off at 139k for his biggest week ever! Jack, also up at Falls, shares his k rep session, completed at a pace Joel can only dream about, before the two recap their last long run on the mountain. Tess wraps up her final Pulse session before jetting off to Sydney for some corporate duties and tackling her first threshold at Centennial Park. THE BIG Q A listener writes in seeking advice on a dilemma regarding the Sydney Marathon ballot. GIVE SOME KUDOS Tess kicks off this segment by giving a huge shoutout to the female runners hitting the road around Centennial Park for their Friday morning jog. Joel recommends a new techno/ambient artist he's been into recently, named Loidas, before Jack wraps up the segment by offering kudos to grass tracks. TWHSOITWTWATSA Tess takes aim at some controversial choices made by the Under Armour team for their men's elite kit—let's just say grey half tights won't be making the 2025 in-list. Jack shares his thoughts on carbon sandals, while Joel throws Tess under the bus after receiving a photo of her wearing a questionably sized visor… SIGN UP TO OUR PATREON TODAY: www.patreon.com/forthekudos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forthekudos Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forthekudos TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@forthekudos Jack: https://www.instagram.com/jackrayner7 Joel: https://www.instagram.com/joeltobinblack Tess: https://www.instagram.com/tesssicaa_
This episode is brought to you by DoDay Hobart Run The Bridge. Brett & Joel shed light on one of their favourite races on the Australian calendar before taking the listeners through Patreon housekeeping. This includes an announcement of our next special series (which will run weekly in addition to The Summer Show and all the extra bonus content. You'd be silly to miss this one. We have FTK hats and FTK perfume dropping next week (remember FTK Patreon's receive early access to merch and 20% off the entire store. TRAINING WEEKS This week it's Jude who's flying in km reps on the aqueduct at Falls Creek and is able to back it up with an even more impressive session on Friday morning. Seriously this man is flying. Jack lays down another solid week of training before the two hint at their upcoming American indoor campaign. Joel gets through km reps unscathed and has one of his best threshold workouts in recent memory. THE BIG Q This week Joel's athlete Danny writes in about cross training with a upper leg nerve injury. The three guys all talk from their personal perspectives about how best to tackle a situation like this. After answering the question Jack, Joel and Jude all have a laugh at one of Jude's recent cross-training related stories. GIVE SOME KUDOS Joel hypes up Yoshi and his family for driving all the way from Melbourne to treat himself, Brett & Ryoji before cooking a Japanese banquet feast for the entire MTC training group. Jack highlights his love for coconut water - Joel backs this statement up however Jude likens it to "corn-flakes-water". Lastly you've probably seen lots of him across the MTC socials but Jude delivers a hefty amount of kudos to our Japanese training partner Ryoji - the happiest man on the mountain. TWHSOITWTWATSA Joel brings up a Burger King marathon, Jack is certainly unsure about the Houston Half Mara finish and Jude brings up a social media comment from an Australian UFC star (or as Joel calls it - fighting sports). The episode closes out with an absolutely wild story about one of Jack and Joel's old friends Callum "Buddha" Drake.

You'll hear some familiar voices at the beginning of this episode before Jack, Joel & Tess get stuck into their first recording of 2025. The three of them fill the listeners in on what they've been up to recently before the new podcast structure gets underway. TRAINING WEEKS Jack shares his ridiculously fast k reps from his first week at falls creek. Tess is forced to self-coach for another week after some miscommunication between her and her coach. Joel trains in Melbourne on Tuesday before heading up to Falls Creek. Jack and Joel run 1h45 together on Sunday, where a toilet stop sees them run rapid in the back half. THE BIG Q This week Tess' athlete Bridget writes in with a question about different running surfaces. The three hosts share their thoughts on how best to approach different surfaces and why a mix of everything is the smartest idea. GIVE SOME KUDOS Thanks to our Patreon Tara we have our fresh new segment where each host must contribute a recommendation each week (usually running related but not always), it could be a person, a product, a store...the options are endless. For the first "Give Some Kudos" Jack and Joel both chose people that they believe go above and beyond to support the athletes training at Falls Creek, while Tess chooses a race that was forced to make a hard decision on the weekend. TWHSOITWTWATSA Everyone's favourite segment. Tess goes hard on one of her friends for a suspicious Strava upload. Jack is unsure about a great photographers editing choices and Joel throws shade at one of his co-hosts for their horrible attempt at surfing. We apologise for the poor audio quality of Jack and Joel this week - it will be fixed for next week

Their training weeks include some highs and lows but they're back at Falls Creek and motivated for another big year. The episode concludes with TWSOITWASA (

This episode is brought to you by ON TRACK NIGHTS: ZATOPEK:10 This week Brett & Joel are joined with middle distance star and Olympian Abbey Caldwell. After Abbey takes the listeners through her training week in the lead up her 3000m at this weekend's Zatopek race, she gives insight into exactly how her year panned out. One example is how Abbey felt that locking in the 800m Olympic qualifier early, meant she struggled to show up mentally for her European 1500m races. Brett lays down his final workouts in Falls Creek before taking a tumble in Canberra and Joel spends the later part of the week tackling the Melbourne heat.
