Ep 2. Michael Roeger and Asics Sonicblast

Sep 29, 2025 · 56 min · Ep 2

In this episode of Shoes n Brews, Scotty and Ash are joined by an Australian running legend — Michael Roeger.

Roegs is a five-time Paralympian, a dual Paralympic medalist, the proud owner of seven World Championship medals, and multiple world records across middle and long-distance running. He’s not only one of the most decorated athletes in Australian track and marathon history, but also one of the most down-to-earth and funniest blokes you’ll ever hear on a podcast.

We sit down to chat about:
🥾 The brand-new ASICS Sonicblast — how it runs, where it fits in the rotation, and what makes it unique.
🏅 Michael’s journey through five Paralympic Games, world records, and the grind behind elite sport.
🍻 Cracking a beer together and swapping some classic stories — from training to travel to racing.
😂 A few unexpected laughs along the way (because what’s Shoes n Brews without a little bit of banter?).

Whether you’re a runner looking for your next pair of shoes, a beer lover keen for an honest review, or just here for a chat with one of Australia’s most inspiring athletes, this episode is packed with insights and entertainment.
