🎙️ Shoes n Brews — Episode 3
Guest: Mark Dunlop
Shoe: Hoka Arahi 8
Theme: From stroke → marathon PB → 2x Central Coast BEER MILE champ 🍻

This one is a beauty. Scotty and Ash sit down with Mark Dunlop, whose story is straight up wild — he went from suffering a stroke to coming back and running a marathon personal best, and then, because why not, winning the Central Coast Beer Mile two years in a row. That’s elite levels of stubbornness and good times.

In this episode we get into:

• 🥾 Hoka Arahi 8 — why this stability shoe actually feels fun, who it suits, and how it stacks up for longer efforts

• 💪 The comeback — Mark talks through rehab, mindset, and how running became part of getting his life back

• 🍺 Beer mile chaos — how it started, how it’s run, and why drinking and running is way harder than it looks

• 🤣 Plenty of banter, central coast stories, and mate-on-mate roasting (as it should be)

If you like real running stories — not just perfect highlight reels — this one will hit. It’s proof you can get knocked down hard and still come back faster, and still enjoy a cold one along the way.
