Tales from the Valley - Episode 3 ft. Greg Frost

This week we get to chat to good mate and 2:32 man Greg Frost. Frosty ran his Marathon PB at Berlin Marathon in 2022 and took out the first Wollongong Running Festival 10k. Frosty hails from Narooma and spent is junior years playing a bunch of different sports. Frosty now stares down the barrel of Tokyo Marathon on March 3^rd and he’s in some ripper form off the back of some beefy Marathon Sessions, with friend of the show James Tunbridge at the helm coaching wise.

Russ is back running some reasonable mileage as he carefully plans to sprinkle in some intensity over the coming weeks. Sam speaks about his 3^rd place finish at Bay to Bridge Half Marathon in Batemans Bay, though he still feels he’s leaving a bit out on the table mentally as he struggles at the backend of another hot and humid race. This prompts a bit of discussion around running psychology as Sam engages a professional to improve the mental aspect of his running. We hear about Gregs last fortnight of marathon training, with his last big session before he starts to gradually descend into a taper before Tokyo in 3 weeks’ time.

Things end with a bit of general marathon chat and a few quick questions fired at Frosty. Stick around after we say by for ‘Caught in the Ocean’ by our South Coast friend Tim Winterflood.
