Road to WA Women's Track Episode 03 | WA Women's Track Night Training Series | Vic Burrows-Bilton & Angela Boys
Monday 12th October 2026
Welcome to Episode 03 of Road to WA Women’s Track Night. This series will bring you stories from four women who will be running in the inaugural WA Women’s Track Night.
In this episode we’re joined by two more participants taking part in just under two weeks’ time and also chat to Michelle from The Digestion Co about all things nutrition and fueling for runners.
Victoria Burrows-Bilton is a mum of four, triathlon teacher and head coach of Girls Like Us Performance. Originally from Yorkshire, Vic was a competitive cross-country and track runner back in the UK before moving into triathlon and longer-distance events. It's been around 20 years since Vic’s last track race, so WA Women's Track Night has inspired her to dust off the interval sessions and get back on the track.
Angela Boys grew up surrounded by marathon runners and spent plenty of Sundays at WAMC events as a kid. But rather than follow in the family footsteps, she rebelled against running! It wasn't until after the birth of her second son in 2023 that she properly caught the bug, finding running became her much needed 'me time'. This year she's chasing the WAMC Half Marathon Slam Dunk Medal and joining us for her first-ever track race.
--------
This training series is brought to you by the WA Women's Track Night, a celebration of women's running and the community around it. An inclusive event designed to empower women to get on the track. It all happens on Saturday the 24th October at the WA Athletics Stadium from 5pm featuring races under lights, a DJ, food trucks plus much more - creating a real festival atmosphere. Everyone is welcome to come down - so head on down to lift up women's running in WA. The WA Women's Track Night is possible thanks to the support of presenting partner RecLab, and our community partners Ogging, Pentanet, Tyack & Co, and supporting partners the Town of Cambridge and Athletics West.

Episode 131 | Denmark Half | Strive Program Starts | Perth Running Festival this week
Monday 5 October 2026
We’re back with our weekly record as the gang chats about their training of late. Chris has a coach for the first time having completed a couple of sessions with the Frontrunner group, Simon prepares for John Gilmour 10,000 stringing together a couple of consistent weeks, and it's only 39 days until Vici attempts a sub 20min 5K at the Pan Pacific Masters Games.
In local results we had the Denmark Half with some great social media coverage by the Denmark Running Club, track season officially starts with Strive Program A on Saturday and the Perth Kilt Run down in Armadale. We had a Perth contingent running Berlin Marathon with Riley Hulbert dropping us a voice memo on his race experience.
We talk about the upcoming Perth Running Festival and the lack of hype on what is meant to be our biggest event in the WA running calendar, and Jack Lister-Buttle and Jeremy Ng feature in this week’s weapons of WARP.
