It took 63 episodes before the boys were brave enough to sit next to each other and record an episode...here it is in all it's glory. With recovery in full swing and a bit of a running content hangover, it's a shorter episode this week but still packs plenty of good stuff (and some nonsense).

Tim And Jerrym sit down with Mackenzie Burgoyne AKA Coach Macka to discuss all the things that lead to Macka running a successful gym and coaching business. From his early days as a country kid with a soccer dream to getting the sack right when he needed the security of a job the most. Macka is transparent and engaging when giving us the insights into him as a runner, a coach, a businessman and a soon to be Father. We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did!

What a week it was in running! The fellas give their race recaps from Melbourne Marathon and the Perth Running Festival half, celebrate a massive week of results for the listeners and the elites and are joined by Vici and Sav from the WA Women's Track Night to get the low down on what is shaping up to be a cracking event! It's a long one, enjoy it!

The boys talk through their prep for the coming weekend's races and give some anecdotal advice that may come in handy. They cover carbs, gear choices, in race nutrition, nothing new on race day (might be some exceptions...), haircuts and plenty more. There's a new sponsor on board in the Scarborough Chiro Clinic/Restore to Perform so have a listen to find out how to secure yourself a discount on your next treatment. Good luck to all who are racing this week and enjoy the episode!

This week Tim graciously does not rub in the heartbreak that was the AFL Grand Final. Jerrym discusses the balancing act between 1000 beers and still getting some k's in. Tim covers for Jerrym's lack of prep due to said beers and k's by stepping up for an episode of Clinic Corner. Plenty seen on the Internet, a few Run It Or Bin It bits and the usual dribble to fill the gaps! Enjoy!

This week, Jerrym breaks down one of Australian running's most famous workouts, the Mona Fartlek. Tim reveals he has dropped Coach Claude and we discuss what this means for his predicted race times. Fremantle and subsequently Jerrym are on their way to the MCG and Pat Voss may get himself a statue at LCA HQ. Thanks again to our friends at OAT running for supporting Run it or Bin It this week.

Life got in the way this week and the boys had to put in an early shift to get this out this week. Dockers, cross training, sore losers, Tim's return to training volume, sunburn, socks, world ultimate and so much more for your listening pleasure.

Tim sits down for a special guest episode with Perth runner, content creator and self proclaimed "Runaholic", Karl Julius (IG: @julius.runs). We chat about fitting 100km weeks around FIFO work and family life, his build towards his first marathon in Melbourne and why he initially skipped the marathon to run ultras first. We also get into the content creation side of running, including Karl's recent challenge of posting 30 videos in 30 days, what he's learnt from putting himself out there and why documenting the process has become part of the fun.

This week the boys discuss the merits of listening to your body and the importance of communicating those niggles, aches and illnesses with your coach. Tim, naturally, chooses to completely ignore this advice while chalking up his biggest training week in quite some time. What could possibly go wrong? There were plenty of hot topics doing the rounds in the running world this week, and the boys do their best to make sure you don't miss any of the good stuff. LCA would also like to welcome OAT Running on board as the segment sponsor for Run It Or Bin It this month. Happy Running!

With a stacked run sheet and limited time to record, the boys built nicely only for Tim to have to leave for an appointment just as they reached the Race results, Meaning Jerrym had to sail the ship home solo. Please excuse the audio at the end. You'll get your usual quota of Coach's corner, Training Weeks, Run it or bin it, things we saw on the internet and Gear yarn. Shout out to WARP for the shout out too, rising tides lift all ships.

This week you get all the usual goodies but the main theme is Rest In Peace to the boys legs after failing to respect what they were getting themselves into at Transcend Trail 65km relay! Lines are drawn on biscuit choices, a unanimous call on the do it all trail shoe and a stack of race results. Enjoy your running!

G'day Low Ceiling Friends, This week the boys cover off an introduction to Threshold work, a couple of light weeks on the track to freshen up for the Transcend Trail Relay (taken with permission, of course) and a few topics to get Tim off the fence in Run It Or Bin It including do speed trainers still have a place? Enjoy and tune in next week to see how badly the Transcend Hills break the boys.

This week the boys get on their high horses, Jerrym with regard to respecting the marathon and Tim with regard to respecting your appointment times! Some fashion tips and a listener submission in "Run It Or Bin It", the soft launch of the new LCA website and some big results from the Strava group in a couple of regional events! Thanks for listening!!

The Comm games are over but the boys are still riding the wave! What a time to be an Aussie! Jerrym debuts a new segment, "Coach's Corner", Tim threatens to reinstate his Strava and the boys get into it on Peptide use in amateur sport (all opinions, no advice), thanks to a listener topic submission. Training weeks, Run It or Bin It, Race results and all the filler you could ever want...it's all there for you in Episode 53 of the LCA Pod!

This week the guys hold round two of the draft, this time in a slightly altered format to capture all the best bits from the Commonwealth Games. Tim caps off the "From the ground up" segment, finds himself in a footwear dilemma and embraces his spirit animal. Jerrym listens to the body and pivots slightly in training, gets reactive with some gym work and does his best to keep the Big Boomer Energy. Enjoy Episode 52!
