Episode Notes

The boys are back and counting down to the Gold Coast Marathon.

Courtney has been feeding 14 years of Strava data into AI to see what it thinks he's capable of running on the Gold Coast. The results? Surprisingly accurate on his injury history… and wildly wrong on his marathon prediction.

Meanwhile, Liam accidentally finds himself making national news after pitching a bizarre solution to the Logies hosting dilemma, proving once again that "Liam's Schemes" might be Australia's most dangerous think tank.

They also dive into:

  • ​Whether AI can actually coach runners
  • ​Courtney's marathon confidence heading into Gold Coast
  • ​The dangers of blindly trusting training algorithms
  • ​Kids and endurance sport — how much is too much?
  • ​The role of parents vs coaches in youth sport
  • ​Another edition of Liam's Schemes
  • ​Why some ideas are worth millions… if Liam would stop giving them away for free

Plus plenty of laughs, running chat and countdown nerves as marathon season gets real.
