107 | Nnormal Cadi Shoe Review, Results from in and around, Winter Clothing Conumdrums
<p data-path-to-node="3">The crew kicks off this week's episode from a freshly moved (and very unfinished) Frontrunner office to bring you a massive mix of raw training realities, major global athletics news, and technical gear deep dives.</p> <p data-path-to-node="4">The biggest news of the week hits close to home: Oska shares his recent scan results, revealing a linear tear at the top of the proximal hamstring alongside severe high hamstring tendinopathy. It's a tough blow that likely sidelines him from competitive racing until around December, shaking up the training block but shifting the focus to a solid rehab phase.</p> <p data-path-to-node="5">On the racing front, the team recaps a blistering week of athletics. They break down Sam Tanner's clinical 3:33 season opener in Nice, celebrate the seven new additions named to the New Zealand Commonwealth Games team, and track standout Kiwi performances across the NCAA circuit. Plus, they dive into the Oslo Diamond League action featuring Zoe Hobbs, Peter Bol, and Imogen Ayris, and discuss the wild crossover of triathletes Alex Yee and Cassandra Beaugrand stepping onto the track for a Monaco Diamond League 5K.</p> <p data-path-to-node="6">To wrap it all up, the team checks in on the Wintergrind leaderboard, debates local track infrastructure wishes, and delivers a comprehensive review of NNormal's newest release, the Cadí trail shoe—Kilian Jornet and Camper's first true maximum-cushion, user-friendly daily cruiser.</p> <h2 data-path-to-node="8">Timestamps</h2> <ul data-path-to-node="9"> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,0,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,0,0" data-index-in-node="0">00:00</strong> Welcome to The Rundown</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,1,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,1,0" data-index-in-node="0">01:17</strong> New Office Setup</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,2,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,2,0" data-index-in-node="0">02:20</strong> Travel Plans and Staffing</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,3,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,3,0" data-index-in-node="0">03:44</strong> Training Updates and Shoes</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,4,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,4,0" data-index-in-node="0">05:44</strong> Tom's Routine and Movie Talk</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,5,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,5,0" data-index-in-node="0">09:28</strong> Oska's Hamstring Diagnosis & Scan Results</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,6,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,6,0" data-index-in-node="0">14:37</strong> Comm Games Selection & NCAA Highlights</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,7,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,7,0" data-index-in-node="0">18:34</strong> Cross Country and Parkrun Hits 1 Million Events</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,8,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,8,0" data-index-in-node="0">21:01</strong> London Marathon Goes Two-Day for 2027</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,9,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,9,0" data-index-in-node="0">26:06</strong> Triathlon Dating Banter</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,10,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,10,0" data-index-in-node="0">26:51</strong> Monaco Diamond League 5K Predictions</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,11,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,11,0" data-index-in-node="0">28:52</strong> Steeplechase Pain and Heat Realities</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,12,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,12,0" data-index-in-node="0">29:46</strong> The Betting Ethics Debate in Athletics</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,13,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,13,0" data-index-in-node="0">30:51</strong> Cold Weather Running Gear Essentials</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,14,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,14,0" data-index-in-node="0">34:56</strong> Caps In The Dark: Running Fashion Crimes?</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,15,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,15,0" data-index-in-node="0">36:31</strong> Wintergrind Leaderboard Update</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,16,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,16,0" data-index-in-node="0">37:19</strong> Christchurch Track Wish List</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,17,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,17,0" data-index-in-node="0">41:18</strong> NNormal Cadí Shoe Deep Dive & Review</p> </li> <li> <p data-path-to-node="9,18,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,18,0" data-index-in-node="0">49:02</strong> New Arrivals (On Drops, Saucony Endorphin Elite 3) & Wrap Up</p> </li> </ul> <h2 data-path-to-node="11">Episode Highlights</h2> <h3 data-path-to-node="12">The Injury Report: Oska's Hamstring</h3> <p data-path-to-node="13">A tough reminder of the razor's edge of elite training.

<p>Run Spesh: The Rundown — Injuries, NCAA Chaos, World Road Champs Squad & Novablast 6 First Look Oska, Tom and Anna kick off Run Spesh from Frontrunner with a rebrand to "The Rundown," then share training updates: Anna is back running pain-free after gym strength work, while Oska is nearly two weeks off with a diagnosed tendon tear and plans a cautious return. Tom recaps a fast, tactical winter bike race series and his current swim/bike focus. They run through major results and storylines including Stockholm and Rome Diamond League highlights, NCAA Nationals hype and a collegiate hurdles world record, plus discuss questionable wind-aided sprint times. They confirm New Zealand's largest-ever World Road Champs team for Copenhagen, shout out Winter Grind Strava pattern challenges and leaderboard, and close with a first take on the ASICS Novablast 6 specs, pricing, and where it fits. 00:00 Podcast Intro 00:45 Meet The Hosts 01:00 New Name Rundown 03:46 Anna Returns Running 06:33 Oscar Injury Update 11:22 Tom Bike Racing 16:12 Future Race Plans 18:57 Diamond League Highlights 25:27 NCAA Champs Hype 28:27 NCAA Kiwi Results 29:16 Kiwi Athletes at Nationals 29:42 Collegiate Hurdles World Record 31:44 Windy Times and 200m Controversy 34:16 Blind Shoe Knowledge Challenge 35:49 NZ World Road Champs Team 41:11 Reddit Running Investment Advice 46:46 Winter Grind Strava Challenges 49:23 ASICS Novablast 6 Breakdown 55:37 Wrap Up and Podcast Outro</p>

105 | Launceston Recap, Melbourne Trip and Race Arousal
<p>Oska, Anna and Maia banter through a chaotic Run Spesh episode from Frontrunner, covering a week of shop life, travel, racing and brand meetings. Oska recaps flying to Melbourne, then heading to Launceston for a half marathon where he felt flat (low HRV, blocked nose, sore hamstring/ankle), fell off pace early, and turned the race into a 70-minute tempo, likely missing his last World Champs qualifying chance; he later sees a physio and gets a plan. They highlight standout performances including Izzy "Bet" Doyle's 68:30 (with her pacer) and Haftu Strintzos' 60:41 on Australian ground. The crew also share their Melbourne trip to meet Adidas, Puma, Nike (under NDA), Mizuno and On, plus a 70th-floor Airbnb disaster, great burgers and pizza, and a callout for a new Sydenham office/podcast space and tradie help. 00:00 Welcome to Runspash 00:46 Chaotic Team Intro 01:05 Socks and Laundry Talk 01:57 Mars and Moon Detour 03:02 Podcast Vibe Explained 03:51 Shop Floor Week Recap 05:28 Movies and Pop Culture 07:18 Travel Week Rewind 08:39 Melbourne to Launceston 13:32 Race Morning Mindset 15:56 Race Falls Apart 19:11 Records and Reflections 23:02 Injury and burnout 24:08 Rest and running mortality 26:16 Stress and training load 28:32 Friends check in 30:12 Early flight to Melbourne 33:48 Brand meetings kickoff 34:56 Airbnb chaos in rain 39:06 Nike NDA and showrooms 40:59 Mizuno factory detour 44:22 New podcast room hunt</p>
