GOLD COAST MARATHON SERIES - COURTNEY'S RACE DIARY MONOLOGUE

Two weeks to go.

With Courtney heading away on holidays, this week's Gold Coast Marathon Series is a little different. Instead of the usual chat with Liam, Courtney jumps behind the microphone solo while driving back from his final marathon session to take you inside his final major marathon workout before race day.

From a 30km marathon session with the crew to pacing battles with Tim Rigby, nutrition experiments, caffeine strategy, heart rate lessons and the biggest learnings from "The Experiment", this is an honest look inside the final stages of marathon preparation.

If you're racing the Gold Coast Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km or 5km, there's plenty here to help you navigate the taper.

In this episode:

• The final 30km marathon session
• Why training with mates makes running easier
• Courtney's race-day nutrition plan
• Heart rate vs pace vs feel
• The biggest lessons from "The Experiment"
• Why there's no magic pill two weeks before race day

Good luck to everyone lining up on the Gold Coast—we'll see you on the start line.
