One of the things that came out of this conversation with Jake and Zane Robertson is the dangers and frustrations of constantly being compared as identical twin brothers. So the risk of adding fuel to the fire Jake and Zane Robertson’s PB’s are red-hot. Between them they boast oceanic records as follows: Jake 10km oceanic record 27:28, 10,000m 27:32, half marathon 59:57. Zane oceanic marathon record 2:08:19 and half marathon 59:47 and 10km 27:28.
There’s a lot more to Jake and Zane Robertson than PB’S and that's some of what we delve into on this episode.
During this episode we cover the early days, training principles, running hills, training failures, training successes periodising training, approaching marathons, training blocks, fuelling for performance and the hard eating questions around pancakes, basketball and Tupac.

On February 29, 2020, Jake Riley stood on the start line of the USA Marathon Olympic trials in Atlanta. This was Jake's third Olympic Games trials and Jake's mantra for the marathon is “no more next time”. Jake stood on that start line, he was 32 years of age and to get to that start line he overcame every setback you could imagine. From prior surgery for a Haglund’s deformity in Achilles tendon through infection, illness, relationship break down, losing sponsors, all experiences that as Runner's World Magazine quoted, “Shouldn't have Jake questioning whether he should continue chasing the Olympic dream.”
He did and he broke through on that day for an historic second place behind Galen Rupp crossing the line in 2 hours, 10 minutes and 2 seconds and securing his ticket to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
During this episode, Jake shares around overcoming surgery, persisting, we play a game of top three’s as Jake shares his Top 3 marathon tips, Top 3 training tips, Top 3 resilience tips before laying down his physical challenge for the week.
