Today in Season 3, Episode 6, I sit down to talk with my father, Mark Jones. Dad, now in his 60s, has been an avid runner from a very young age. He excelled at the school level in the 400m to 1500m events and then transition to the half marathon and marathon events post having children. Additionally, he thoroughly enjoyed being involved in his sons' running, frequently attending their races and starting a tradition where he'd take them individually to Sydney for the City 2 Surf, at the age of 14. It was a pleasure sitting down listening to stories again, or for the very first time about dad's experiences from years ago, to this very day.

Previously race walkers, twins Brandon and Nick are now highly successful runners in their 30s. Brandon currently in London and Nick Brisbane, they are both products of the Brisbane Culture running group. It was great to gain insight into their upbringing, short-lived race walking career, training/travel and then Brandon's running experience over in the UK. Now in their 30s, these boys have raced most Australian fun runs and number of overseas events, so I hope you enjoy listening to the Dewars.
