In this episode, Sam and Katie chat with Flynn Addicott, a recent arrival to the Bega Valley who moved from Melbourne to take on a paramedic role at Bega Hospital. Flynn boasts impressive personal bests, including a 16:05 for 5K on the track and a 2:56 marathon. His running journey began in high school, where he tested his limits in cross country before developing a structured training routine. Notably, Flynn is known for his ability to run while holding his phone, even managing to switch songs during hard efforts.
Katie shares her strong lead-up to the Noosa Half Marathon, highlighted by a 36:10 at the Sydney 10. Meanwhile, Sam battles through illness during a down week but still completes two solid sessions. Flynn, despite a hectic schedule as a paramedic, unintentionally clocks a half marathon personal best during a Tuesday tempo run on the rolling Merimbula Bike Path, maintaining his 110km weekly mileage.
