This weeks Run2PB Guest is Andrew "Leggo" Leggo, a man who has mastered the art of "dad strength" and the high-stakes juggle of family and fast times. A former footy boundary umpire turned running nuffy! Leggo shares the story of his legendary 2:52 at the Melbourne Marathon—a feat he achieved just one week after the birth of his daughter, Miley, and only 24 hours after signing up. With PBs of 15:51 for 5km and 2:35 for the marathon, he’s now working with coach Matt Davy to prove that while his "selfish" training days might be over, his fastest days certainly aren't, evidenced by his recent 17:47 parkrun PB while pushing his son, Alfie, in the pram.

The conversation covers Leggo’s recent races including an 8th-place finish at the Stawell 2-mile as well as his unique approach to training consistency around a busy lawn-care business. We dig into his "Quick Fire" answers—ranging from his current shoe rotation to his favorite way to cook a potato.
