Couples who run together…
For nearly a decade, Cody and Viv have shared miles and memories, with Viv leading the way. While running brought them together, their styles couldn’t be more different—she’s dedicated, while he runs mostly for the post-run feast!
Their friendly rivalry sparks playful frustration, especially when Cody wins races with minimal training. But their support for each other runs deep, from Viv’s half marathon dedication to Cody’s strong race finishes. Whether side by side or pushing each other from afar, running remains a special part of their journey together.

Fast 5 with Merle Want
Merle raised the bat to the crowd recently by completing her 50th marathon! Melbourne was her 51st, and we presented her with a medal after the MM to acknowledge this stellar achievement. Merle is a font of running wisdom, and iI value our occasional chats about our running philosophies. I asked her if she was allowed to pass on only one piece of advice to any runner, what would it be. "To find someone whose advice you trust (too many cooks spoil the broth) and even more importantly always have fun". Can't think of a better time or person to tackle this edition of Fast 5!
