Welcome to Episode 2 of the Maximum Mileage Running Podcast, where we're hitting the ground running with all things marathon. In this episode (another recording of the Hoteast where my own athletes throw questions at me!), we take a deep dive into some of the finer details that can make or break your race day.

Ever heard of 'the blue line'? We discuss the significance of this line during your marathon and share tactical tips on cornering to avoid unnecessary extra mileage. Yes, every foot counts when you're pounding the pavement for 26.2 miles!

We also bring you expert advice on carb loading strategies. Find out how to fuel your body efficiently and effectively for the big day. But the fuel chat doesn't stop there. We explore race day nutrition, focusing on what to take, when, and how often.

And let's not forget hydration. How do you maintain the perfect balance to keep your engine humming smoothly from start to finish? We delve into strategic hydration to help you navigate the delicate line between hydration and over-hydration.

Next, we examine pacing strategies, because going all out from the starting gun might not be the best approach. Tune in for insights on finding and maintaining your perfect pace.

And, of course, we affirm just how bloody hard it is to train for a road marathon. We're not sugar-coating anything here; we're in this together, sharing the struggles, the victories, the sweat, and the swear words.
