In the Beginning Podcast

This week, we’re chatting about where our running motivation is at as we head into the Christmas madness.  We also put an AI training program to the test—how smart is it, really? And we’re diving into power equations in running, exploring whether they can help level the playing field and settle the debate of who’s the "better" runner, regardless of weight. Courtney’s WTF segment is a wild ride, from Simon Says games to the mystery of the "Strava Mule." Trust us, you’ll want to know what that is. Oh, and we’re debating whether competition is actually good for kids, and wondering if there’s a shift happening in nightclubs—could running be the answer to it all?

This week, Liam is finally ready to share the big news about his new Radio gig! Hint: he's coming to the Gold Coast. We dive into the growing trend of running and ask: Is it becoming too popular for its own good? Courtney returns from his trip to Victoria, bringing more of the quirky WTF event content we've come to love. Gout Gout! The hype is real, but where is this phenomenon headed next? Plus, Liam calls out for listener questions—turns out more of you are tuning in than we thought!  Thanks for listening and being part of the conversation.

Do we really need it? It’s a mix of running and fishing, and we’re not sure if it’s genius or just plain weird.Notes:The Greg Bennett Show - EP256

Silly season is here! Between sportsman lunches, Pro-Am golf, Christmas parties, weddings, and influencer runs, there's never a dull moment. This leads Liam to bring up the challenge of the infamous ‘Beer Mile’. Courtney shares insights into the three most unique races he’s ever competed in. We also take on the role of acting CEO at World Athletics, and once again discuss the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. And of course, we tackle the challenge of taming the infamous ‘brown snake’!
