Can I Run 2:15 at Melbourne Marathon?

Less than 72 hours until the Melbourne Marathon! In this video, I finish my final workout—5 × 1km at marathon effort—and share how I’m feeling ahead of my first all-out marathon in around 21 months.

After seven months out with a sacral stress fracture, this comeback has meant a lot to me. I talk through the training block, the key sessions that have given me confidence, my race shoes, and my A goal of running sub-2:16 in Melbourne.

I also share updates on Valencia Marathon, moving to Portugal with Reem, our upcoming Globe Runners experiences, nutrition coaching, and the launch of Dynafish shoes through Eastbound Running.
