What have you pretended to like for a crush? This week Producer Lindsey was reminded of a time when she would get up early to watch the Socceroos because she knew the boys at school would be talking about it. We KNEW we couldn't be the only ones who did embarrassing things for crushes so we asked you: what’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve pretended to like for a crush? You have our permission to stop pretending you like giving head, beer, golf and camping and just be who you are! AND Laura heard Mel Robbins talk about the ‘Let Them Theory’ and she wants to share it. You can’t control how other people behave, you can only control how you respond, so let them! Watch Mel's video https://www.instagram.com/melrobbins/reel/CsLvs-voVTO/  Listen to the episode of Mel's podcast about it https://podcasts.apple.com/mz/podcast/the-let-them-theory-a-life-changing-mindset-hack/id1646101002?i=1000614815209  SPECIAL SHARES Steph: the movie ‘Mud’ https://www.stan.com.au/watch/mud-2012  Laura: having a wind down routine where you put your phone away before bed Kic UPDATE We have two special KICRUN Clubs coming up in Melbourne on Saturday 24th August and in Sydney on Saturday 31st August.

It doesn’t matter where in your running journey you are, we think you’ll love this chat! Phoebe and Anna are Cheeky Run Club: a social running podcast and community for your everyday amateur runner. Since launching their podcast in January, Phoebe and Anna have covered topics like sports bras, nutrition, running burnout, prepping for races, and so much more. We’ve loved watching them grow a community of like-minded runners so we asked them to come in and share some of their running wisdom. In this episode, Phoebe and Anna chat through their individual running journeys, what a typical week of training looks like, how they deal with injuries both physically and mentally, the importance of running slow, and finding your running 'why'.

It's time for another rant from Laura! On a recent Instagram video calling out internalised misogyny, someone accused Laura of “playing the gender card” and today she shares her feelings about it. TLDR: if you’ve never experienced discrimination, you can’t tell people who have been discriminated against that it doesn’t exist. PLUS the Olympics are over and we miss it already! We look back at some of our highlights outside of the gold medal moments. Check out the bibliography below for all the videos we mentioned.

A must listen ahead of the women's Olympic marathon marathon this weekend! In the heat of the women’s 3000m steeplechase at the Tokyo Games, Gen Gregson fell and ruptured her achilles tendon. As devastating as it was that Gen’s steeplechase career was over, and her return to elite sport was uncertain, Gen saw an opportunity to fulfil another dream: becoming a mum. Gen gave birth to her son Archer in June 2022. At 3 weeks postpartum Gen started jogging again and at 13 months postpartum she ran her debut marathon on the Gold Coast Marathon in a time of 2:28, making her the second-fastest debut marathon for an Australian woman. Gen took another two minutes off her marathon time to qualify for the Paris Games where she will compete this Sunday. In this episode, Gen sits down with Steph to share her story of returning to elite sport following major surgery and childbirth, how she balances family life with training for the Olympics, the village that supports her in this pursuit, including her husband Ryan Gregson who’s also a marathon runner, and why being a mum makes her a better marathon runner.

In 2023 we had the pleasure of speaking with Australian boxer Harry Garside. We talked about masculinity, success, proving himself, thinking he's not good enough, and why he deliberately puts himself in situations that make him uncomfortable. We've loved watching Harry at the Paris Olympics and it reminded us of how much we loved this chat with him. We hope you love it too <3  This is the video from Harry that we mentioned: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-Ah1opvtj2/  FOLLOW US Harry @harry_garside on InstagramKICPOD @kicpod on InstagramJoin our closed KICPOD Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/630561419185145/Steph @stephclairesmith on Instagram & @steph_claire_smith on TikTokLaura @laura.henshaw on Instagram & @laura.henshaw on TiktokKic @kic.app on Instagram & @kic on TikTok and kicapp.com or download the app from the App Store and Google Play StoreSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
