Cheeky Run Club

Hello Cheeky Cheekers! Welcome back to another jam-packed episode, where we talk about your STRANGEST pre-race rituals… whether it’s asserting your dominance or doubling up on undergarments! We also chat about the new World Athletics Ultimate Championship with a grand prize of 150,000 USD up for grabs, and why some people are upset that certain events didn’t make the cut. We finish the episode on a more serious note, chatting about postpartum expectations and how Phoebe is feeling as she draws closer to her due date. LINKS: - We’d love to hear from you!

Good morning, cheeky listeners! On today's show, we explore the line between when running achievements and content go from being inspirational to demotiviating, particularly in the pre and postpartum space. Watching someone run a sub-3-hour marathon at 32 weeks pregnant is INCREDIBLE – so why do we feel the need to compare ourselves? We also celebrate Australian Cam Myers' 1500m Diamond League final win and play a fun game guessing the top 10 best running cities in the world!!! LINKS: - Send us an email!
