About

Episode 162. LIVE From Sydney: Personal Bests with Lydia O’Donnell, Riley Hemson, Isobel Hume and Elyse Sene-Lefao

Recorded in front of a live audience at Pace Athletic in Sydney ahead of race weekend, this special installment of the After Dark Tour series brings together coaches and athletes to break down what it really means to pursue a "personal best". From redefining race-day goals beyond the finish-line clock to navigating pre-race nerves, training sacrifices, and the power of community, the panel shares honest, grounding perspectives for every runner toeing the line.

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Coach Bennett
