Run To Paradise

The Movie Squad X RTP

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a bazillion times - this is a very special episode of Run To Paradise. Not only is it a gajillion times more hi-fi than any of the other episodes, but it contains two ACTUAL experienced broadcasters. They may not be runners, but goddam the Movie Squad can field a conversation. I can’t describe the relief, the feeling of containment and safety, knowing that Simon or Tristan would deftly guide the conversation back on track, with a laugh, without any awkward silences, and without me having a minor panic attack while I scramble for a relevant question while realising I haven’t been listening to anything my guest has said for the last 5 minutes.
This is The Movie Squad X Run To Paradise! We review and discuss running in cinema. Not running in cinemas, but feel free to discuss that among yourselves :)
We cover Chariots of Fire, The Jericho Mile, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Tracktown, Run Fat Boy Run, Brittany Runs A Marathon. We also discuss the running techniques of Tom Cruise and…well mainly Tom Cruise, and whether hitting the wall a shitting yourself should be represented more in cinema. The answer? Absolutely! As my ol’ Dad used to say “there’s always Tom Cruise”
Thanks for listening! Run To Paradise is a Tarkine sponsored production, and was recorded in Boorloo on the traditional, unneeded lands of the Nyoongar people. And enormous thanks to RTRFM and the movie squad. I love you so much.

Emotional Bag - Noah Dillion

Another running episode! Come with me and Noah Dillon - Perth musician and notorious mad dog - on an early autumn morning run around a lake. More of these half hour conversational pace jog episodes coming up :)
Noah is a fabulous musician, mean cricketer, runner and most excellent bloke.
We talk about writing songs, Peter Jackson’s Beatles doco, testosterone, Noahs EP Soft, his best mid-tour runs, and compare playing footy and participating in a local trail race, and playing small bedroom music and gigantic rock band music. 
All Run To Paradise is supported by Tarkine Athletics. Thanks to them and Noah and mostly you lot who listen! Luvya.

Walk In Beauty - Timberlin Henderson

Timberlin Henderson is an elite ultra runner for Tarkine Athletics, a coach, teacher and a proud Navajo man. Despite being an incredible and competitive athlete, he regards running as medicine and a spiritual endeavour, a way to honour the four mountains and connect with his land and his ancestors. 
He has moved away from using modern, high carb nutrition in favour of the staples of his peoples traditional diet, corn, beans and squash. 
He has also moved away from representing marijuana companies and identifying as a "cannabis athlete" to be a role model for the youth of the reservation which has been blighted by addiction problems, and to better connect with his spirituality and cultural practices. 
This was a huge privilege and deeply inspiring for someone who is sick of feeling sick of gels, and tired of feeling frustrated by training setbacks. 
 
 

Fear and Loathing at the Australian Athletics Championships

Peter Bibby and Nick Allbrook watch Gout Gout, Lachlan Kennedy, Jess Hull and Seth O'Donnell run really, really fast. 

S4 Entrée - THE SPEED PROJECT SOLO with Jonty Brown

Shit a brick it’s been a while! Most grovelling apologies sweet handsome princes and princesses, I’ve been so busy being a "musician" that I simply have not had time to make podcasts about running. Lets call this a little appetiser - a tiny bowl of audio pretzels, a small platter of sonic antipasti - to wet your ear before the steaming hot main course is poured right into your auditory canal (yum!)
Here’s a tastefully lo-fi catchup with Jonty Brown, just weeks before he embarks on the notoriously chaotic, painful and sort of punk-looking-guerrilla-ultra-race, ‘The Speed Project’… SOLO. Gross. Thats 550 kilometres through the desert from LA to Vegas. Bugger that for a joke. You’ve gotta be an absolute mentalist to do that, or Erchana, who probably did it while playing hoop stick because apparently she's made of some very kind, caring, enthusiastic alloy. 
In the very competitive race to be the most elite athlete from Yorkshire who is also a barber, surfing instructor and motorcycle mechanic, Jonty is probably the winner. It’s not a hard competition, but he is the winner none the less. Congratulations Jonty!
Oh he’s also the first type 1 diabetic to run a 100k ultra marathon, which (unlike being the fittest surf instructing, motorcycle repairing barber from Yorkshire that I know) is a very very hard thing to do.
If yr in London or have the internet, check out his shop/community hub Runlimited. Unless you’re not interested in running in which case I’m so sorry you’ve read this whole piece of silly writing. Now get out there and seize the day! Or  just search for something you’re actually interested in on the internet. I positively don’t care.
This is a podcast for Tarkine, the West Australian running company :)

E6 - Cole Baxter "In The Realm Of A Whinge"

Cole is a Boorloo based photographer, artist, dedicated runner and a deeply curious and hilarious bloke.
I visited his studio for a long and convoluted chat, which I didn’t edit much coz the silliness and distractions are kinda the best part, but it takes a long time for us to get onto running stuff.
Cole does the cheeky old switcheroo here and starts interviewing me, we watch a Fantano review of Pond, talk about Lenny Kravitz’s rig, Coles daily ritual and artistic and athletic ambitions, developing a toxic fixation on dumb metrics, Cole learns that standing still for half an hour is good for an ultra, and we wonder where the distinction is between a photographer as documentarian and photographer as artist.
Here's a playlist from the man himself to juice you up for the next send!

E4 - Don Corleone's Marathon Obsessed Nephew

Calm down everyone, the glimmer twins have returned. Nick and Erchana - the running worlds answer to Bonnie and Clyde, Lennon and McCartney, Big Boi and Andre 3000, Bevis and Butthead - have returned to subject you to one whole hour of "uhuhhuhuh... running" and other such searing insights. 
This week we tackle the big issues ; Nicks sicilian holiday and the associated dangers of following random strava maps, Erchana's film premier https://biff.com.au/films-event-schedule/one-five-zero/#:~:text=150%20is%20an%20inspiring%2C%20hilarious,150%20marathons%20in%20150%20days. Nick's mounting terror leading up to Feral Pig, LCD Soundsystems workout mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoVO2HKwfbg , the melbourne marathon, and finally we dive into our perilously shallow mailbox! Cmon u lazy buggers send us more shit! We are DESPERATELY LONELY. https://www.patreon.com/c/RunToParadise3000 is where you can do it, and also give us a little or a lot of money if you like what we're doing. 
In this episode, and all others, you'll also get very very good advice about training and nutrition, mainly (only) from Erchana. Seriously i was listening to her talk thinking "goddam this is good advice" and i'm only partially braindead! Make of that what you will. Free advice from a world class coach and record holder. 
Anyway, cheers!
