#Ep 80 | Has Sydney Marathon Gone Too Far?

40,000 runners is the edge — Sydney Marathon is flirting with breaking its own event, and we need to talk about it.

Episode 80: the Sydney Marathon 2026 recap. 70+ at the shakeout run, 36 TPP athletes with 33 PBs (27 of them by 15+ minutes), and an honest coach's take on the bottlenecks, wave timings, and slower runners baking in the heat. Plus Georgia's first big event with Millie, business updates, and listener Q&A on gels, stress fractures, race-day underperformance, and knowing when a good workout means you should push your goal.

📢 Next week is a full Sydney Marathon Q&A — DM us your questions.
