This week we cover results from the Ultra Series Cape to Cape Ultra Marathon, and the Runningworks Heaven & Hell Trail Marathon.

We discuss our current state of maranoia, which includes Chris taking a rest day for the first time in 8 weeks, and Simon’s potential toilet issues on Saturday, before his body and mind crumbling at the thought of doing a trail run with Shane Johnstone at the Transcend x WARP Community Run.

We were meant to chat to Gaby Villa this week to discuss Simon’s sweat test results, but after a last minute call up to crew for Backyard Ultra GOAT Phil Gore, Gaby is currently busy giving foot rubs and foot baths at Dead Cow Gully over in Queensland. We hope to have her on for a special interview only episode next week.

Colin Dismuke, Andy Carrington, Margie Hadley, Hannah Paget and Belinda Neo are this week’s Weapons of WARP.

This episode is dedicated to the great Todd ‘the tractor’ Ingraham. Todd was a trailblazer and a weapon in the WA running world, holding state titles from the 1500m all the way to the full marathon, and even a sneaky 2000m steeplechase. Todd loved to race and loved to win, Todd’s superpower was his grit, determination and out hurting his competitors.

Todd sadly lost his battle to Motor Neuron Disease last week. His stories, mantras and his legacy will live on in the WA running community. Rest in Peace Papa T.

This week we cover the 2025 Wadjemup Rottnest Running Festival with Kate Baker and Max Davidson taking out the inaugural Todd Ingraham Trophy, and results from the PTS winter series Eagle and Child.

In this week’s interview, we talk to Dr Shaphan Cox and Peter Hallahan from Curtin University, who look to explore our running habits and our sense of ‘place’ using the power of Strava.

Jorge Madeira, Tom Zawalnyski’s coconuts at the 2025 Samoa Marathon, see through half tights at Rotto and Chemie Banger feature in this week’s weapons of WARP.

In this week’s interview, we chat to someone who makes our marathon training weeks look like absolute piss, the formidable weapon in Aaron Young as we chat about his stellar 2025 so far with a FKT and back-to-back 300 and 250 miler races in the US.

The Wolves Run Club Long Run #2 was a blast on Sunday with the next one planned for the 20th July 2025.

We have our own Transcend Community Run with the guys from Transcend on the 22nd June 2025 with 14km and 20km options down in Jorgenson Park Kalamunda.
