Sam, Mitch, and Katie speak with Meg Dougherty following her impressive performance at the Husky Half last weekend. Meg, who grew up in Kiama, is currently spending time with her family there but usually resides in Yamba. She and her family have just returned from a caravan trip around Australia, where she managed the adventure with five kids in tow. This year, Meg has broken several of her previous PBs, running 18:17 at the Nightcliff parkrun in 31-degree heat, completing a 38:03 time trial along a 2k-long driveway in the NT, and recently clocking 1:22 at the Aldinga Half Marathon in South Australia, where a large portion of the race was on sand. To make these achievements even more remarkable, Meg has been running exclusively in an old pair of ASICS Nimbus, even in races.

Sam opens with an injury update, noting that his shin splints have returned, but he caught them early. After getting an MRI, he learned they are only classified as Grade 1. Mitch joined the WTC sessions, deviating from his Runcrew program and racking up 106km for the week. Katie continues to train consistently and had a solid session, though she got called out for wearing AlphaFlys on her long runs.
