Half marathoners — this one is for you.
Andy Buchanan is back on In The Beginning — and this time we’re going straight to the top.
The fastest Australian marathoner ever joins Courtney ahead of the Gold Coast Marathon weekend to talk all things half marathon, marathon training, race-day pacing, super shoes, his YouTube journey, and why the half marathon is a completely different beast to the full.
Andy explains why marathon training can feel “chill” compared to the brutal intensity of half marathon sessions, shares his key marathon workouts, gives practical advice for everyday runners, and reveals why he’s heading back to the Gold Coast hoping to run even faster than last year’s course record.
