In this episode, Sam and Katie catch up with Mel Jeferris. Mel, based in Narooma, has been in impressive form lately, recently running a marathon personal best of 3:08:06 at Ballarat. Mel began running in 2015, completing her first marathon that same year in Melbourne. After taking a break to have two kids, she returned to running with structured training from her brother, Greg Frost, in 2020. Since then, Mel's progress has been consistent, with key workouts like 8x1km repeats, long tempos, and Sunday long runs with kickdowns alongside the Narooma Run Club. As she prepares for the Melbourne Marathon later this year, Mel plans to add strength training to target a sub-3-hour finish.
Katie recovers from her longest run in a while, following it up with spontaneous track intervals (1200, 800, and 200 meters) and a strong threshold workout: 20 minutes at 3:43 pace, plus two 5-minute efforts at 3:32 and 3:22 pace. Meanwhile, Sam logs 95km for the week, still shaking off the remnants of last week’s sinus infection but successfully completing his 400s session and threshold workout.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
