Chasing Paris #01 with Gen Gregson, Andy Buchanan & Riley Wolff

Just as we did with "The Gold Coast Diaries" we are releasing the first episode of "Chasing Paris" across our main network. To hear all remaining episodes you'll need to be a Patreon supporter of FTK.Welcome to the first episode of our new Patreon only series, Chasing Paris. Episode 1 is a great introduction to what Andy Buchanan and Gen Gregson have been up to over the last few months - Gen has bounced back from Gold Coast Marathon exceptionally well, while Andy has been focused on training and grinding our races in AV XCR. Gen tells us what she might do differently in this marathon build, and Andy shares some travel plans with our own Brett Robinson (cute). There are a few race announcements relating to other athletes that we maybe weren't meant to share, and the show closes with Andy explaining his love for the jelly slice (listeners encouraged to send their jelly slice in for judging - if they dare).
