What we talk about
Don't go out too fast down the initial downhill—embrace the nerves, stick to your plan, and enjoy running with 39,000 others.
Sydney is starting to feel like a major—there's a lot of activations, a bigger expo, and so much excitement in the air.
We're the only podcast with four six-star world major marathon medalists as co-hosts, and soon to be, fingers crossed, seven-star.
