Manage episode 419638306 series 2664884
This episode kicks off with Chris and Zacca sharing their recent training updates. Chris crushed a massive 98km week, including a Friday session leading into a 2-hour Saturday long run. He dives into some key workouts like 3 x 3km and 3 x 2km intervals as he preps for the Albert Park 10k. Zacca, focusing on strength training, manages to string together some longer runs, including a lap around the Tan. He also ponders his bike choice for the upcoming GCM support crew duties.
#TeamRun2PB Guest: Benji Hoppit Returns!
We welcome back Benji Hoppit (#TeamRun2PB), coached by Brady Threlfall, for his second appearance on the show (originally on episode 156 in August 2023). Benji shares exciting stories from his travels abroad for his job in high-performance elite sport. Then, he dives into his recent racing success in New Zealand, including a huge personal best in the half marathon and another PB in the 10k, where he even achieved a negative split! Benji takes us through the details of both races and unveils his training plan as he gears up to tackle the Gold Coast Marathon once again.
Food, Shoes, and Sub-4 Minute Miles
Chris throws some medium-paced questions Benji's way, including his go-to food choices while traveling and his current shoe preference. The conversation then shifts to a recent Canadian Running Magazine article exploring the potential longevity benefits of running a sub-4-minute mile.
