This week’s listener questions also double as this week’s edition of Training Talk presented by Lululemon, who start off with the half-marathon specific workout of 3x3km at race pace with a 3 minute jog recovery from Moose, or 2x6km with a 2 minute float from Brad, then go into the importance of training at sub-threshold pace and long runs.

The boys also review some of Lululemon’s technical gear with the runner in mind, with particular focus on their half tights and socks.

Moose on the Loose is co-opted by Brad & Brady over the confusion over the start of the Men’s 1500m at the Rabat Diamond League, while Moose’s Purchase of the Week has him hoping his dog becomes a lot more trainable.

The boys wrap up with a preview the half marathon and 10k fields of the McGrath Launceston Running Festival, with a guessing competition for Brady & Crokes’ times in the 10k, with a stream to be available via the IRP social pages.
Tickets are still available for the IRP Gold Coast Marathon Live Show presented by Pillar Performance to be held at the Southport RSL on Sunday 3rd July after the event.
