Road to Kwinana Freeway Episode 02 | 2025 PRF Training Series | Kat Watt & Denzel Gould | Strength & Conditioning with Shane Johnstone

In episode 02 of our Perth Running Festival Training Series, we're joined by the self-confessed Queen of Kwinana and previous winner of the Perth Marathon Kat Watt as she prepares to return to Perth to take on the half marathon, a steppingstone to a big marathon major later this year. We're also joined by young gun Denzel Gould who has seen a huge progression in the marathon running a 2:58 at Bibra Lake Marathon earlier this year with hopes of continuing that progression at the Perth Marathon.

Finally, we're joined by specialist Shane Johnstone from Valetudo Fitness & Physio on the importance of strength and conditioning to complement your running.

This WA Running Podcast Training Series follows 4 athletes as they work toward their goals at the 2025 Perth Running Festival. The training series title pays homage to the infamous out and back along Kwinana Freeway is in our opinion the toughest segment of any road race in WA.

We wouldn't have this training series if it weren't for these guys:
