120 | Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 5, On Cloudsurfer 3, Berlin Recap, Melbourne Recap and Tom's trip

Tom's back after more than seven weeks away — most of it spent training in Andorra with Hayden Wilde and Kyle ahead of the 70.3 Age Group World Championships in Nice, followed by a genuinely brutal travel saga getting home. He's joined this episode by Theo, who gets his own spotlight after a trip to Melbourne meeting the On Running crew and helping launch the Cloudsurfer 3 in New Zealand.

The centrepiece of this episode is Oska's full Berlin Marathon trip with adidas — sitting down with the AdiZero design team to understand every decision behind the new Adizero Adios Pro 5, visiting the House of Fast, getting a photo with Gebrselassie, and watching Tigist Assefa win the women's race while running the final two kilometres on a ruptured Achilles. We get a full technical breakdown of the Pro 5 itself, a listener question on finding a daily workhorse trainer, and the full rundown on **Race the Pro 5 After Dark**, the Sydenham Underpass event held on 8 October with a live DJ, smoke machine, laser lights and the works.
