We are joined by 2 time Olympian and Oceania record holder in the marathon, Brett Robinson. Brett started running seriously as a junior and has been making world teams since his teens when he was a track athlete. He then worked his way up to the marathon distance and in 2022 broke the Australian record at the Fukuoka International Marathon of 2:07:31. This wasn't without setbacks, as Brett talks about overcoming struggles he faced with getting stitches in prior races. He also shares what has kept him enjoying the sport for so long. Rose had this chat with Brett in Font Romeu, where he is preparing for his third Olympics in Paris this summer. He talks about how he qualified for the Australian team and why he is out in Font Romeu to train.
