Listen "EP 53 Better with Running Podcast Ft Run2PB Coach Chris Armstrong"
Episode Synopsis
Zacca and Matt chat about one of the most brutal cross country courses on the Athsvic calendar, Lardner Park. Zacca goes through his week leading up to the big race, taking it as an opportunity to have a down week. He loses count of his reps in his 4 x 4km session, but still finishes excited with how it felt. On the back of losing count, Zacca nearly loses his show in the mud pits of Lardner Park, but comes away from it with a strong hit out.
Matt heads down to the gravel roads of Devilbend for a 30min fartlek, then rolls out a 20min tempo into some faster 30sec ON/OFF’s. He also chats about why he got thrown out of getting a CT scan.
Zacca and Matt also make an exciting exclusive announcement of a new Run2PB coach joining, winner of the Women’s Open 8km XC at Lardner Park, Dr Karinna Fyfe.
Zacca also sits down with Run2PB coach Chris Armstrong to chat about The Shepparton Runners Club, how his athletes are going, as well as some Gold Coast Marathon chat and in particular what particular details he discusses with his athletes about before their debut marathon.
