In this episode, we talk about comparison culture, the thief of joy. We share our own experiences and a couple of hot takes on what we think you can do to help snap yourself out of it. Maybe its not always about running faster than someone else?

But first, we CRAP on about:

• How far would you go to steal a Strava segement?
• Shannon realises she is about to hit a run club milestone
• Hayden hasn't run on a Sunday since...when?

In this episode, we're joined by Abdul Mohamed-Isa. He is a postie by trade, is affectionately known as Mr Parkrun, and is pretty darn funny. Together we talk about:
- Where running sits on his priority list (hint: it’s nowhere near the top)
- parkrun Statesperson - what is it and how do you qualify
- If you’re not cheating than you’re not trying
- Starting a parkrun from scratch
- How he came last in parkrun… twice

But first, we CRAP on about:
- Hayden practicing his racing at parkrun
- Shannon's beef with the Women's Classic
- CRAP being challenged at the Fremantle Running Festival

In this episode, we're taste tasting gels so you don't have to. We're not going to give away the results, but we give the gels that a casual runner is most likely to find a go. The ones you find at Woolies or Coles, maybe a Supplemart, we're giving them a try and providing our honest recommendations.

But first, we CRAP on about:

• Setting a challenge for Hayden's wife to be a guest on the podcast
• Hayden's old man hamstring injury
• Shannon's lack of spatial awareness and the friendly ankle tippy taps she gives at Run Club
