At the time of recording (3pm Sunday), Johan Botha and Michael Bellmon are still standing at Herdy's Frontyard Ultra. It's been just the two of them since lap 31, and we speak to Shaun Kaesler live from the Start line as they head off for lap 48 and 200 miles...
We were lucky to have Vlad Ixel join us for a chat about the recent Osaka Marathon, where he ran a PB of 2:28. We then talk about his career in running, how he got started in the sport, his love of trails, representing Australia at the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships, running in WA and the creation of his supplement brand, Bix. Stay tuned for some WARP x Bix Community runs, prizes and giveaways in the near future - https://bix-hydration.myshopify.com/en-au
