Better with Running

This weeks episode is proudly sponsored by the 2XU Wellness Run - This December 5th 2021, let’s run 5, 10, or 21.1km and raise funds for Beyond Blue, you can enter online via https://wellnessrun.com.au/#event-details

Zacca and Matt catch up about how their Melbourne Marathon prep is going. Both switch to a Wednesday / Sunday workout setup to allow for enough recovery from the more marathon specific workouts. Matt increases his fartlek length by working through a 48min fartlek, whilst Zacca gets into a 5k/4k/3k/2k/1k and has to use some strong mental game as his stomach gets a little upset. They both head out for Sunday long run workouts, Matt going for a longer progression style workout, wanting to be really hurting at the 34k mark and teaching the body to not panic. Zacca gets out for a 25min marathon effort at the back end of his long run, charging over some rolling hills to simulate the back end of the Melbourne Marathon.

Zacca also catches up with Jordan Oneill from 02 Events and Zareen Sayed from Beyond Blue about an exciting event that is coming to Melbourne on Sunday 5th of December, the 2XU Wellness Run. They chat about the vision for the event, what the event can do for the wider community in regards to mental health and what ways people have been able to use the Beyond Blue organisation during the COVID pandemic.
