Episode Notes
The Gold Coast Marathon Series continues with Benita Willis from ‘Lace Up Running’ back in the coach’s chair.
With around 10 weeks to go, Benita breaks down where half marathon and marathon runners should be right now, how to structure the week, why hills matter, how to use parkrun properly, when to practise nutrition, what to do about niggles, and how to keep the whole build in perspective.
Liam also gets Benita’s take on London Marathon’s sub-2 breakthrough, super shoes, Courtney’s “experiment”, training around travel, and why the half marathon deserves way more respect.
A proper practical one for anyone building toward Gold Coast.
