Listener Question from Will asks what constitutes as “low mileage” for different runners and Moose’s purchase of the week hopes to heal what ails him.

Jye Edwards, the 2021 1500m National Championship winner and Tokyo Olympic Qualifier with a personal best of 3:33.99 which ranks him the 9th fastest Australian of all time sits down with Brad to open with his recap of that fateful day. From the morning of the race and going over strategy with Dick Telford, Jye expected a fast race and unpacks his thoughts midrace to crossing the finish line and then the chaotic post-race series of events including drug testing, interviews and Tokyo Olympic ticket ceremony. After touching on his celebration and admiration for the middle distance fraternity, Jye shares his plans moving ahead for him and Team Telford then reviews the season thus far including his Albie Thomas Mile performance and other qualifying races.

Jye and Brad then go back to his start in running, growing up as a sporty kid, watching the work ethic of his idols and dealing with growing pains as well as constant injuries throughout. This chat rounds out with meeting Dick Telford and the general training and mileage structure under him, the emphasis of skill and technique over mileage and current work and study aspirations.
