When a rockstar turns 50 and runs his first marathon, and his coach breaks a world record in a suit — this is what happens next.

What happens when two very different runners cross the same finish line — one in a three-piece suit, the other five days after his 50th birthday?

In this Execs Who Run bonus episode, Jason Hunt and Tim Minchin sit down to relive the Melbourne Marathon. Jason shares what it took to break the Guinness World Record for fastest marathon in a suit, while Tim unpacks how his first 42km run reshaped his idea of aging, endurance, and joy.

It’s an unfiltered, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about pain, pacing, pride, and why running can be both ridiculous and profoundly human.

In This Episode:

• How Tim’s first marathon turned into a lesson in midlife momentum

• Jason’s behind-the-scenes of running 2:38 in a full tailored Institchu suit

• The strange overlap between art, leadership, and endurance

• Why discomfort tolerance beats raw talent — in sport and in life

• What’s next: Tim’s London Marathon dream and Jason’s next record attempt
