About this listen
Courtney and Liam kick off Episode 76 with a story from the Gold Coast Sports Awards and an unforgettable speech from Mat Rogers that sparks a debate: when should you stand for a standing ovation?
From there the conversation dives into the evolution of athlete media training — from the old “handle the media” mindset to the new world where athletes like Matt Hauser are embracing openness, podcasts and storytelling.
The boys also unpack the claim that a four-hour marathon is harder than a two-hour marathon, break down the booming world of hybrid fitness racing, and discuss whether new formats like XENOM could challenge the dominance of HYROX.
There’s also a huge shoutout to Bondi lifeguard Quinn Darragh as he attempts an extraordinary 24-hour ocean swim challenge, plus updates on Liam’s 100-mile build and Courtney’s running scare that nearly made him quit competitive running altogether.
It’s an episode packed with running philosophy, media insights, endurance sport trends and a few classic bar-stool debates along the way.
