Phil gets straight into the oven with some big sessions in Kenya, as he only has around 5 weeks to Seville.  Marc talks about the many adjustments in Kenya; not just the running, but dietary changes, weather, and altitude. Phil gives us some insight into how the training setup works in Kenya, and the luxury of the ‘matatu’ - the fuelling vans you often see driving alongside groups of runners. They’re a double edged sword - you can hop in at any point if you’re feeling tired, but if you get dropped, it’s not waiting for you.  Marc also gives some insight into joining his NN teammates in camp under Patrick Sang and how he made the decision not to do the marathon block there.    The question for our listeners - does 15 miles constitute a long run?

Brett throws Joel off early by arriving at the FTK studio with not only a surprise-shaved head, but with an accompanying announcement that he'd been a guest on another podcast last week. In Joel's training week he lays down a respectable Tuesday, fights the wind at Albert Park on Thursday and does his first double run in a long while. Brett spends 99% of his waking hours in the heat chamber, but somehow finds time to get outside for a ride (his first run back also goes well).

Episode 27 is brought to you by ATLAS EVENTS: The final episode of FTK's second season welcomes Australian marathon record holder, Robert de Castella. This very special interview sees Rob take us through many moments of his incredible career, from humble beginnings to his 2:07:51 1986 Boston Marathon win, the Australian Record to this day. We are lucky enough to hear Rob's typical training week as one of the greatest marathon runners of all time and he shares his thoughts on why his own record still stands over 35 years later. The interview closes out with Rob sharing his involvement in The Indigenous Marathon Foundation. In normal programming Brett makes a difficult but sensible decision to pull out of his 1 hour track race and Joel sees big improvements in his fitness while banking his biggest week since returning from injury. Thank you to everyone for their support of Season Two. We will be back bigger and better (like Brett's upper-body hotel isolation gym routine) for Season Three in October.

For The Kudos hits double digits, with our tenth instalment welcoming Jude Thomas. The '2021 Athletics Australia Junior Athlete Of The Year' tells of his journey from school sport to high performance running. Jude talks us through his training, strongly defending his unusually slow easy runs, and reveals how he has had to comprehend rubbing shoulders with the fastest guys in Australia, instead of his recent junior contemporaries. We chat through his future and hear his thoughts on a possible pet event down the track. Brett visits a team of specialists at Nike HQ in Beaverton, Oregon to tackle his persistent stitch issue and Joel shifts his sights to upcoming road races.

Episode #09: Brett discovers he hasn't packed appropriately for the freezing Philadelphia weather, and Joel finds focus in the pool as he ramps up the cross-training leading into this weekend's Australian 5000m championships. Ky Robinson, 20 y/o 13:20 5000m runner, jumps in an interview with Brett to chat about college life at Stanford University, finding consistency in training, avoiding the steeple-chase and his plans to become the fastest Robinson (sorry Brett).

Q&A Session Four uncovers the worst unsolicited advice the boys have ever received, who the most dramatic race finisher is, who has the biggest difference in social media to real-life personality, and weird things people take to competitions.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forthekudos Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forthekudos Brett: https://www.instagram.com/brett_robinson23 Joel: https://www.instagram.com/joeltobinblack

Pat Tiernan joins the now-international FTK studios, recording from New York to bring Episode #08 to life. Kicking off the series of unfortunate events, Joel tells of his big brave battle with tonsillitis and a lingering knee niggle, before Brett and Pat share disappointment over their New York Half-Marathon results. Pat delves into his equally upsetting Olympic 10000m final, but reflects with positivity on his change in training groups and what it could mean for his future (will we see his marathon debut before the year is out?)

After a seriously rocky introduction, Q&A Session Three finds its groove tackling topics such as fuelling for long runs, notorious half-steppers, strength & conditioning, choccy milk and road ultra's.

FTK's second Q&A session delves deep into race tactics, cross training, nutrition and much more. As always there is plenty of valuable advice as well as a few laughs - especially when the boys are asked what they would change about each others physical appearance.   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forthekudos Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forthekudos Brett: https://www.instagram.com/brett_robinson23 Joel: https://www.instagram.com/joeltobinblack

Welcome to the fifth instalment of season one. Brett & Joel take us through their training weeks in the lead up to the 10km “Run The Bridge” road race in Hobart where Brett took the win and Joel finished 3rd. Brett reflects on a very embarrassing story from “Burnie 10k” a few years ago, the guys take a softer approach to TWHSOITWTWATSA™ after last week’s double homicide and the episode closes out with a plea to the listeners to do their bit in locking in a very special guest in a few weeks time!

Episode four peers into the iron-clad secret identity of the Instagram account @heapsgoodrunners and reveals never-before-heard information into who is behind it. Joel interviews the mastermind responsible for making a mockery of some of Australia’s best athletes, and listeners hear about how the page has risen the ranks with its satirical posts. Brett banks another big week and explains his reasoning for not doing any work at the front of Tuesdays session, while Joel takes us through his fastest threshold to date. Rumours of a separate Q&A segment are floated, and this week’s targets of the TWSOITWTWATSA™ cop a (particularly harsh) beating.

The FTK studio welcomes British Marathon star Charlotte Purdue to Episode Three. Charlotte holds the third fastest Women’s Marathon time in the UK, achieving this feat in the London Marathon following a controversial absence from the UK Olympic team. Charlotte conveniently “forgot” her submission to our infamous social media segment, but was quickly forgiven by providing a very in-depth insight into her career as an athlete so far, delving into the highs, the lows and everything in between. On the training front, Brett returns to complete five laps of the Caulfield Race Course for the first time in two years, and we hear about Joel’s 15-second PB for a third place in the Adelaide Invitational 5,000m. Brett and Joel discuss a training session from hell before sharing this week’s targets of “TWSOITWTWATSAᵀᴹ.” Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forthekudos Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forthekudos Brett: https://www.instagram.com/brett_robinson23 Joel: https://www.instagram.com/joeltobinblack Charlotte: https://www.instagram.com/charlottepurdue

Three-time Olympian Dave McNeill joins the roaming FTK Studio (this week's recording is brought to you by Joel's sister's boyfriend's family's dining table… wrap your head around that!) to bring a whole lot of running knowledge, passion and previously unforeseen levels of maturity to the show. Brett and Joel are left embarrassed after realising they have been mispronouncing the name of their own podcast, but things take a turn for the better as the hosts delve deep into the outcome of the two-mile Handicap Race at the Beachside Gift. Joel and Dave talk about altered training while they manage lasting niggles from Zatopek:10 and other demands on the body such as overtraining and nutrition. Dave, a registered physiotherapist, offers professional insight into the body and injury management while also opening up about personal mental health struggles. The hosts discuss the culture of running within Melbourne Track Club, and reveal some of the nuances that exist to produce such successful results across so many athletes. The usual trademarked segment (you know the one) makes an anticipated return to close out the show.

The FTK Studio (currently Brett’s girlfriend Saskia’s kitchen table) welcomes Tokyo 2020 Olympian and Australian 10000m Champion Rose Davies to this week’s episode. We delve into the Zatopek: 10, hearing first-hand how Rose captured the win and her inside perspective on the lead pack of the Women’s race. Joel provides a run-down on his race, with some fantastic insight into the men’s front-pack (based on his perspective from a few hundred metres back). Brett reveals his post-Covid recovery and how he is slowly getting back into the swing of things after a slower January. Favourite segments such as ‘Weekly Training Recap’ and ‘Things We Have Seen On Instagram This Week That We Aren't Too Sure About™’ make a highly anticipated return, with lots of laughter and running content scattered throughout.

For The Kudos is a running podcast by Australian elite distance runners Brett Robinson and Joel Tobin-White. Expect professional athlete training insights, race predictions and recaps, and a star studded guest list - all done with plenty of humility, banter, and piss taking that will keep you riveted and coming back each week for more.
