Ep #036 Monster results and Monster Recaps

This week on The Long Run we cover a huge week across ultras and track, with the BPN Backyard Ultra down to just 7 runners, The Speed Project solo record is obliterated in 67 hours, and big performances are seen at Desert Rats. On the track, the Australian Athletics Championships delivered chaos and history — from the women’s 1500m controversy to Cam Myers’ near-record run, plus national records falling in the 100m and 200m. We also look at the brutal conditions that ultimately ended Angus’s Arizona Monster 300 race. We unpack the rising cost of race broadcasting after UTMB Tenerife’s cancellation, and what Paris is doing to tackle event waste. To round it out, we break down what an elite 10,000m athletes training week looks like, and as always, our own week of training.
