The Running Guy Podcast

Rorey was born in Western Australia, grew up in Far North Queensland before moving to Brisbane where his running career started to blossom. At 6'1 he enjoyed playing AFL and basketball but with the encouragement of his high school running coach he ventured down the pathway that led him to the world class 1500mtr runner he is today. Rorey followed the footsteps of many great international runners and picked up a degree whilst running for Indiana University within the US college scholarship scheme over a 5yr period of 2012 to 2017. On his return he decided to move to the nations capital to carry out his masters in physiotherapy and to train with  Australia's most renowned running coach Professor Dick Telford. After being diagnosed with an accessory soleus muscle a few years back that had been causing grief over that time, Rorey decided upon surgery last November in the hope that it will enable him to put down some consistent months of training and racing that will enable him to pick up an Aussie singlet in the World Champs at Eugene, Oregon in July and/or the Commonwealth Games hosted in Birmingham, England in August. Rorey has all the tools needed to represent his country on the biggest stage so lets all cross our fingers and wish for the stars to align so another Aussie runner gets to perform where they deservedly belong due to years of hard work, discipline and belief, All the best mate!    Follow Rorey at; Facebook Instagram   Greatly appreciate your support for the podcast on Patreon -www.patreon.com/therunningguypodcast   The Running Guy Podcast Singlet -www.therunningguypodcastsinglet   The Running Guy Coaching Website - therunningguy.com.au   Instagram - Instagram.com/therunningguypodcast   Facebook - therunningguypodcast   Join The Running Guy Podcast Strava Club -  therunningguypodcast   YouTube Channel youtube.com/channel/UCAvM0q11KzHkLBoL0LX_9lw   Opening music - Artist: Soundroll Song: Lost in Love Closing music -  Artist: Dan Henig Song: Wood   DanHenig.com   Hey guy's if you are enjoying listening to the show and would like to make a small donation of support then follow this PayPal link https://paypal.me/astonduncan?locale.x=en_AU 

Ed Goddard did not let go of the dream of representing Australia at a Major Championship and running one of the fastest marathons by an Australian, when he suffered a fracture of his calcaneus at the beginning of the year. He set out and made it a priority of surrounding himself with a great support team of friends and health professionals that would enable him to maintain a high level of fitness through cross training and rehabilitation that enabled him to return to running at a high level as fast as possible. Ed spontaneously travelled back to race the Cross Country for IONA College (New York) after a marathon specific session showed very good signs of strength and fitness. That sense of fitness proved true when he qualified in Boston for the Nationals in Florida over the 10k distance. Ed flew back home after his brief 2 week race/taper period that prepared him for his debut marathon. Ed went on to run one of the fastest marathons on debut by an Australian on Australian soil 2:15:13 and has certainly proved his ability to not only absorb the high volume of marathon training but the rigors of racing road marathons on the mind and body. Ed is feeling confident that he has a few minutes up his sleeve with a couple of more months of training in his legs. Really looking forward to watching Ed chase his goal of picking up an Aussie singlet or two at the majors next year and chasing that 2:11:30 marathon qualifying standard in February 2022. All the best Ed!    Follow Ed Youtube.com/channel/UCRSneKwrZG6lV2F6ql_R9mg Strava.com/athletes/26943045 Instagram.com/edgoddard3k/   Greatly appreciate your support for the podcast on Patreon -www.patreon.com/therunningguypodcast   The Running Guy Podcast Singlet -www.therunningguypodcastsinglet   The Running Guy Coaching Website - therunningguy.com.au   Instagram - Instagram.com/therunningguypodcast   Facebook - therunningguypodcast   Join The Running Guy Podcast Strava Club -  therunningguypodcast   YouTube Channel youtube.com/channel/UCAvM0q11KzHkLBoL0LX_9lw   Opening music - Artist: Soundroll Song: Lost in Love Closing music -  Artist: Dan Henig Song: Wood   DanHenig.com   Hey guy's if you are enjoying listening to the show and would like to make a small donation of support then follow this PayPal link https://paypal.me/astonduncan?locale.x=en_AU 

Kieren Tall has been consistently racing at the pointy end on the track and road for a couple of years now but this year has stepped up onto the highest position of the podium with his win at the Sydney 10 in May and NSW state titles in the 5000mtrs in Feb and 3000mtrs just a couple of nights ago at SOPAC. Kieren was one of the Nations top junior triathletes but after competing at the World Junior Cross Country Championships in Uganda, he soon realised where his true passion and future lay. Kieren is highly focused on running faster on the track with the aim of competing for Australia at the majors in the coming years whilst picking up a contract that will allow him to reach the highest potential possible as an athlete and as an ambassador for the sport. Kieren is chasing his dreams on and off the track that's going to be an exciting story to watch unfold, all the best Tally.

Liam Adams passage to his first Olympics in Rio 2016 was certainly filled with lots of barriers that he just managed to hurdle on the very last day of the qualification period. To say the Tokyo 2020 qualification was a lot easier would be far from accurate, when Liam's first attempt of running the 2:11:30 required time on the Gold Coast in 2019 fell short by just 6 seconds. Having the disappointment of the 2016 Lake Biwa DNF result in his mind when his hamstring failed, Liam was determined to make sure he did what ever was needed to make this one count and secure his spot on the Australian Team. With the COVID pandemic just starting to shut down the globe and cause the cancellation of travelling and racing, Liam wasn't fully aware at the time of how huge it was when he crossed the line running a 2:10:48 and earning himself the number one spot on the Australian team and running the fastest marathon by an Aussie in 13 years. Liam is as gritty as they come and I'm extremely excited to see how his 2nd Olympic Marathon unfolds along with the other 5 members of the team. All the best Liam, Brett, Jack, Lisa, Sinead and Ellie.    Greatly appreciate your support for the podcast on Patreon -www.patreon.com/therunningguypodcast   The Running Guy Podcast Singlet -www.therunningguypodcastsinglet   The Running Guy Coaching Website - therunningguy.com.au   Instagram - Instagram.com/therunningguypodcast   Facebook - therunningguypodcast   Join The Running Guy Podcast Strava Club -  therunningguypodcast   YouTube Channel youtube.com/channel/UCAvM0q11KzHkLBoL0LX_9lw   Opening music - Artist: Dan Henig Song: Flames Closing music -  Artist: Dan Henig Song: Wood   DanHenig.com   Hey guy's if you are enjoying listening to the show and would like to make a small donation of support then follow this PayPal link https://paypal.me/astonduncan?locale.x=en_AU  

Ed Goddard will be spotted running the hilly streets of the North Shore suburb of Mosman, Sydney with phone in hand and his long blonde locks blowing in the wind to the beat of Bob Dylan. Ed has been competing at a very high level since the end of high school and has represented Australia at the junior and senior level on the track and road. With a fantastic end to 2020 with a 62:16 half marathon in Launceston to a brilliant kickstart into 2021 with a 28:23 in January at the Zatopek meet in Melbourne, everything was heading on the correct trajectory, then injury struck! A 3cm fracture to Ed's calcaneus put a hold on the goal of running an Olympic qualifying time for the marathon at the Athletics Australia race in Penrith. Ed maintained his fitness on the bike and in the gym and surrounded himself with great health professionals to enable the return to running as fast and as safely as possible. Ed has a positive, fun and relaxed philosophical approach to his life as much as his running and is finding his feet again for an assault on the world marathon scene in the coming years. A fantastic chat with Ed that I know you will Enjoy!  Check out Ed at: Youtube.com/channel/UCRSneKwrZG6lV2F6ql_R9mg Strava.com/athletes/26943045 Instagram.com/edgoddard3k/   Greatly appreciate your support for the podcast on Patreon -www.patreon.com/therunningguypodcast   The Running Guy Podcast Singlet -www.therunningguypodcastsinglet   The Running Guy Coaching Website - therunningguy.com.au   Instagram - Instagram.com/therunningguypodcast   Facebook - therunningguypodcast   Join The Running Guy Podcast Strava Club -  therunningguypodcast   YouTube Channel youtube.com/channel/UCAvM0q11KzHkLBoL0LX_9lw   Opening music - Artist: Dan Henig Song: Flames Closing music -  Artist: Dan Henig Song: Wood   DanHenig.com   Hey guy's if you are enjoying listening to the show and would like to make a small donation of support then follow this PayPal link https://paypal.me/astonduncan?locale.x=en_AU  

They say you're a product of your environment and Andy is certainly no exception to that rule. Andy grew up in Bendigo and as a child his family holidays were centred around packing up the car and heading off to the next marathon for his parents' to compete in, because that's what all families do right? Andy will be 30 years of age when he toes the line for his first marathon on the Gold Coast in July but he certainly hasn't been sitting around procrastinating about following in his parents' footsteps into the marathon. Andy has won numerous Victorian State Titles on the track and Cross Country as well as the 2017 and 2018 National Cross Country Titles. Just 15 day's after running his 10,000mtr personal best of 28:26 at Zatopek in Melbourne in December 2019, Andy won a half marathon in Japan setting a new personal best of 62:50 and qualifying for the World Half Marathon Championships in Poland 2020 that unfortunately Australia did not attend due to COVID. Andy certainly still has a lot to offer in the shorter distances than the marathon and cross country but it's going to be exciting to watch over the coming years how the transition into the marathon distance unfolds and with 2016 Olympic marathon runner Scott Westcott as his coach I'm betting there's more green and gold singlets being posted to Bendigo in the years to come, a great chat with Andy, Enjoy!    Follow Andy over at Instagram - Instagram.com/andy_buchanan/   Strava - Strava.com/athletes/3871363   Run2PB coaching - run2pb.co/coach-andy    Greatly appreciate your support for the podcast on Patreon -www.patreon.com/therunningguypodcast   The Running Guy Podcast Singlet -www.therunningguypodcastsinglet   The Running Guy Coaching Website - therunningguy.com.au   Instagram - Instagram.com/therunningguypodcast   Facebook - therunningguypodcast   Join The Running Guy Podcast Strava Club -  therunningguypodcast   YouTube Channel youtube.com/channel/UCAvM0q11KzHkLBoL0LX_9lw   Opening music - Artist: Dan Henig Song: Flames Closing music -  Artist: Dan Henig Song: Wood   DanHenig.com   Hey guy's if you are enjoying listening to the show and would like to make a small donation of support then follow this PayPal link https://paypal.me/astonduncan?locale.x=en_AU  

Ben decided early on after graduating university in physics that he'd rather be re-writing the record books than reading them. Ben found his niche in running up mountains and technical terrain going on to represent Australia as a junior at two consecutive World Mountain Championships in 2010/11 with podium finishes at the state and national level. It wasn't long before Ben jumped head first into his first 100k and although it wasn't successful, Ben didn't have to wait long before his first win over the distance in Victoria in 2013. Ben continued that form into 2014 where he competed at three world championships over varying distances in Europe and the US with an incredible third place in France at the 80k du Mont Blanc Sky Running World Championships. Since then Ben has been very consistent in his performances winning many races over varied distances and terrain including consecutive Australian Mountain Running Titles and most recently the iconic Six Foot Track Marathon in the incredibly scenic but extremely challenging Blue Mountains. Ben will be competing at the Buffalo Stampede 75k Ultra Marathon next week and then backing up for another assault on the UTA 100k in May where he would love to improve on his previous two second place finishes. A great chat with Ben that I know you will enjoy, thanks Ben!     Follow Ben:  Instagram Strava Coaching @ Mile27 Hoka One One Infinit Nutrition Australia   Greatly appreciate your support for the podcast on Patreon -www.patreon.com/therunningguypodcast   The Running Guy Podcast Singlet -www.therunningguypodcastsinglet   The Running Guy Coaching Website - therunningguy.com.au   Instagram - Instagram.com/therunningguypodcast   Facebook - therunningguypodcast   Join The Running Guy Podcast Strava Club -  therunningguypodcast   YouTube Channel youtube.com/channel/UCAvM0q11KzHkLBoL0LX_9lw   Opening music - Artist: Dan Henig Song: Flames Closing music -  Artist: Dan Henig Song: Wood   DanHenig.com   Hey guy's if you are enjoying listening to the show and would like to make a small donation of support then follow this PayPal link https://paypal.me/astonduncan?locale.x=en_AU  

Izzi could not turn down the incredible opportunity of a 4 year scholarship in the US that was offered on the back of numerous national level performances in the Steeplechase and Cross Country in the final years of High School. What started out as a very overwhelming and challenging experience as a freshmen within the college system culminated into the re-writing of record books, becoming an All-American athlete and Pac-12 champion. Izzi found a way to navigate through the woes of being an injured athlete more than once and always came back a stronger and faster runner determined to discover what she was capable of and never setting limitations on her capabilities. Izzi has now stamped her authority and gained much respect as a formidable opponent on the track and road displaying the talent and fight that will lead to the wearing of many Aussie singlets at majors in the years to come. A story of persistence, desire and belief that I know you will enjoy!

Josh has been consistently running fast around the oval office for over a decade now and still has the burning desire and belief of bettering his extremely fast 800 and 1500mtr times as well as significantly lowering his 5000 and 10000mtr personal bests. At the age of 28 where most middle distance runners transition into running longer on the roads, JJ is confident under the guidance of his coach Dick Telford that his legs have a lot more to offer on the track before making the jump. I spoke to JJ from Perisher where his doing a short stint of altitude training that has been on the January schedule annually for 15 years in preparation for the National Track and Field Championships in Sydney in April that will be the last chance for athletes to automatically qualify for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Sam Hopper is a kiwi that flew the coop, yes Kiwi's are flightless, but not this one when laced up! Hopper jumped - or hopped (sorry) - at the opportunity when the offer to live and train alongside one of Australia's greatest distance runners and Dual Olympian Ben St Lawrence was made mid 2018. Hopper struggled at first whilst regaining his former fitness but through consistent mileage and hard racing for the run crew, some very respectable times have been officially recorded with World Athletics from the 3000mtrs to the half marathon. Hopper now has his sights set on running his first marathon on the Gold Coast this year and is absorbing the extra volume well as he fits his training in around selling shoes at Pace Athletic. At the age of just 26, Hopper has the opportunity for a lengthy marathon career and will no doubt be asserting his presence among the front groups very soon. Hopper is a genuine down to earth guy and really enjoyed the chat as you will too!      Follow Hopper at: Instagram - www.instagram.com/_hopper   Strava - www.strava.com/athletes/31489759   Greatly appreciate your support for the podcast on Patreon -www.patreon.com/therunningguypodcast   The Running Guy Podcast Singlet -www.therunningguypodcastsinglet   The Running Guy Coaching Website - therunningguy.com.au   Instagram - Instagram.com/therunningguypodcast   Facebook - therunningguypodcast   Join The Running Guy Podcast Strava Club -  therunningguypodcast   YouTube Channel youtube.com/channel/UCAvM0q11KzHkLBoL0LX_9lw   Opening music - Artist: Dan Henig Song: Flames Closing music -  Artist: Dan Henig Song: Wood   DanHenig.com   Hey guy's if you are enjoying listening to the show and would like to make a small donation of support then follow this PayPal link https://paypal.me/astonduncan?locale.x=en_AU
