The boys also review some of Lululemon’s technical gear with the runner in mind, with particular focus on their half tights and socks. Moose on the Loose is co-opted by Brad & Brady over the confusion over the start of the Men’s 1500m at the Rabat Diamond League, while Moose’s Purchase of the Week has him hoping his dog becomes a lot more trainable.

The boys wrap up with a preview the half marathon and 10k fields of the McGrath Launceston Running Festival, with a guessing competition for Brady & Crokes’ times in the 10k, with a stream to be available via the IRP social pages.
