Episode Notes

One week. That's all that's left to Gold Coast Marathon.

Courtney is officially into taper mode ahead of his first marathon, and Liam finally puts a prediction on the table. But should marathon runners even be obsessed with finishing times?

The boys dive into what has changed most in running over the last decade, why modern shoes have completely changed the sport, why "finding your race" matters more than chasing a number, plus listener questions, Nike's new gear, shark sightings, the future of HYDROX, and plenty more.

With the Gold Coast Marathon just days away, this is the final honest check-in before race day.
