In this episode, Zacca and Chriso switch up the format by bringing on two guests at the start - Jess Willis and her coach Matt Davy. They recap Jess's amazing 2nd place finish at the Ballarat Marathon with a huge new PB of 2:48:40.

Jess and Matt share insights into:

The buildup and training block leading to Ballarat
Challenges faced during the final race week
A detailed race day recap from Jess's perspective

Chris then reviews his experience running the 6km leg at the Run2PB Round 1 event at Jells Park. Despite an eventful lead up, he talks through his strong finish after chatting with fellow athletes and fans.

Zacca discusses his role as a coach and supporter at Ballarat, marveling at the progression of his athletes.

The show also covers Run2PB coach Andy Buchanan's massive 2:08:58 PB at the Hamburg Marathon after overcoming injuries.

To wrap up, Zacca and Chriso ponder over a questionable impromptu half marathon by an influencer in New York and a media take on run clubs taking over paths.
