It's Thursday and you know what that means
For the final time ever - join us for a brand new episode of the What The Fartlek Podcast
There will be voices you're used to, some you haven't heard in a while and some that are brand new but we all wanted our chance to say goodbye and thank you and share our memories of 6 years of WTF and the incredible Fartlek Family Community
The podcast is done but the love lives on - and we can't wait to make new memories with you all in the coming months and years
Fartlek Family 4 life!

Series 19 Episode 17: Mr 3:14
Its Thursday and you know what that means - the penultimate episode of the series and in fact the podcast has a theme and that theme, whether you like it or not is Mathew Taylor
Yes that's right, Tiny Joe Wicks makes it all about him and his sub 3:15 achievement whilst not acknowledging a single other person who ran Manchester this weekend
Then, if that wasn't enough there's another Matt themed twist in the parkrun segment as we talk to Ben and Emma for the second to last time about their parkrun adventures and the conclusion of the parkrun cup 2026
Finally a big good luck to everyone running London this weekend - including our very own JP and Pol who are raising money for Make A Wish - if you can help get them to their target please do using the link below
