Episode Notes

Andy Buchanan is the fastest Australian marathoner ever, with his 2:06 in Valencia last year. At the age of 34, Andy is still chasing new goals and proves to all of us that age doesn't limit us. Not that being 34 and running marathons is unique, but the fact that his career started escalating recently shows that it's never too late.

In this episode Andy shares how he got to where he is today, how he combines running with his job as a high school teacher, and what his training looks like.
