You hit 30km feeling fine… then suddenly your legs disappear.

Most runners blame fueling, but the science suggests there’s far more going on.

In this episode, Lindsey and Shona break down what really causes the marathon wall, why your training can set you up to fail late in the race, and how to build the durability to keep going when everyone else starts slowing down.
