This week, we're joined by Renee Ioppolo to hear about her journey to an endometriosis diagnosis and how it's impacted her running. We chat about:

  • Why she got a run coach to train for her first marathon
  • Listening to All Too Well on repeat for 3 hours
  • What is endometriosis and how does it impact the body
  • Delaying surgery so she could run Sydney Marathon
  • Passing out from pain in a car park
  • Why the treatment options all kind of suck

But first, we CRAP on about:

  • Brodie's got his dog back so it's a good week
  • Shannon completing another Grand Slam
  • Both of us doing Run Club at an actually enjoyable pace
  • Hiding heart rate and elapsed time on Strava 
  • Brodie signing up for an Iron Man like an IDIOT
