In our final episode of the Bunbury 3 Waters Running Festival training block series, we check in with Ashlee Ritson, Hannah Paget, Jackson Lemin and David Perich as we debrief their performances at the Bunbury 3 Waters Running Festival over the weekend.
After coming third in the women's marathon but failing to run sub 3 hours, did Ashlee have to go work in the physio tent post-race?
Did Hannah do too many yoga lunges pre race and did she follow the race plan?
Will David sign up for another marathon and go again for Sub 3?
After smashing the 3 hour 30 minute marathon goal and smashing a steak sanga post run, does Jackson rate the steak sandwich at the Rose Hotel?

In Episode 03 of our Bunbury 3 Waters Running Festival training block series and with just a week to go, we catch up with Ashlee Ritson, Hannah Paget, Jackson Lemin and David Perich as we discuss our goals and race plans as head to the start line on Sunday. We go through the course profile, prize money and what's in stall at the Bunbury Runners Club event village over the weekend.
Will Ashlee Ritson and David Perich reach their Sub 3 hour marathon ambitions or will Ashlee be forced to massage sweaty bodies at the Koombana Physiotherapy tent post race? Will David have to sign up for another marathon?
Will Jackson Lemin go Sub 3 hour 30, or will he fail to stay in the correct lane on the Wilman Wadandi Highway (Bunbury Outer Ring Road)?
Will Hannah Paget look to be in the pointy end of the women's half marathon race, or will she be stuck wondering what she could have done with that prize money.

In ‘Simon Says’, we talk whispers of a potential collab between a well-known WA run club and the upcoming Sydney Marathon, the conditions in which Simon participates in the 2026 edition of Herdys, before praising Dean Menzies, Ryan Greenwood, Bryan Bourke and Abud Alnatour in our Weapons of WARP.

This week we cover results from the WAMC Darlington Half, the Runningworks Canning River Running Festival and Strive Program B where we had the 3,000m
We provide our thoughts on the Tarkine Autopilots after doing some serious mileage in them in the lead up to their exclusive colourway ‘Burst’ drop coming to you later in April, including how the Autopilots fit into our current shoe rotation.
We look at the upcoming Herdys Frontyard Ultra that begins this Friday, and despite having no experience (or authority for that matter) make our predictions for the event, which includes a Bix Gel Bet.
We talk whispers in the local running scene that could be factual or straight out lies with a new name to make sure we’re not straight out stealing from another running podcast, before we celebrate Rhys Shore’s bowels and Phil Gore in this week's Weapons of WARP.

Simon interviews show-favourite and who we think is the ultimate Weapon of WARP, Kate Baker. We cover the many amazing things Kate has achieved on the roads in WA and abroad, including a marathon PB at Chengdu last year and potentially going for the three-peat at Rottnest Marathon later this year. We talk her competitive mindset, her 'why' and the comeback from disappointment to winning everything in 2024.
The next WARP Community Run is scheduled for Wednesday 26 March, while we also deliver top secret news from WARP’s very own Master of Whisperers, Dan Bobridge, along with our many Weapons of WARP.
