Welcome to 'Road to Kwinana Freeway' Episode 01.
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.
In episode 01, we're joined by the poster girl of the WA Marathon Club Nita Traeger as she prepares to take on the half marathon where she hopes to hit a PB in the lead up to a big marathon later this year. We're also joined by Matt 'Smithie' Smith, who not only claims to be the best looking bloke on this podcast (3/10), but is not shabby in the marathon running a 2:22 with big dreams of going well below the coveted 2:20 mark.
We talk about their whys, their previous Perth Running Festival experiences and their plans for the 2025 edition.
Finally, we're joined by specialist Gaby Villa from Intenseatfit (@intenseatfit on insta) who provides some important nutritional advice as we head into our peak weeks of training.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
