Alice dials in from downtown Brooklyn, fresh off a five-day hurricane-disrupted mission to New York. She throws herself into marathon week: it’s a slew of brand pop-ups, yoga, late-night track sessions and the electric New York Marathon itself! From Helen Obiri’s savage move in the closing stages, and a sprint-finish in the men’s race, to cheering for the very last finisher long after the roads reopened, Alice paints a picture of what it’s like to be on-the-ground in the city that doesn’t sleep.
Meanwhile, Elise checks in from her little home studio in Geelong, watching the marathon from afar while recovering from her concussion. She talks about the weird mix of FOMO and (reluctant) relief that comes with missing a marathon start line when your body’s not 100%. Alice quietly drops that she’s building (chaotically) towards Valencia Marathon and still dreaming of a sub-3, despite her hectic travel schedule.
Closing out the show, Michael “Osto” Osten, Nike EKIN, joins Elise to share insights into the evolution of running shoes and the thinking behind the new Vomero Premium. He explains how advances in foam and cushioning have allowed Nike to create shoes that offer runners more choice – including the latest in responsive, comfortable designs that make getting out the door even more enjoyable.
Osto speaks about how innovation is shifting from race-day shoes to the everyday pairs runners spend most of their time in. The goal is to help people train more consistently, recover better and find enjoyment in running for its own sake – not just chasing times, but making it easier to show up again and again. Osto also shares his recent race experience at the World Triathlon Age-Group Championships in Wollongong and his training leading into his next Ironman race.
