Kyle Weise joins the podcast again with the Gold Coast Marathon now just 16 days away.

They also cover Kyle's final long run, taper plans, fueling strategy, bottles as priority A, carb pouches, caffeine gels, electrolytes, and targeting around 100 grams of carbs per hour. The conversation also gets into low-mileage success examples, group progress, Marty's sub-2:40 attempt, strides and hill sprints, reducing anxiety around training, London Marathon moving to a two-day format, Matt's planned 5K benchmark, and Kyle's decision to race in the Puma Fast-R.

Marty checks in 26 days out from the Gold Coast Marathon to discuss his peak marathon training, achilles niggle, biggest long run yet, fueling plan including sodium loading, race weight, sauna, strength work, and shoe choice.

Marty explains that the run felt hard partly due to early Achilles tightness, which flared after stopping, and he reflects on whether he could have extended the marathon-effort segment closer to 30 km. The conversation covers Marty's confidence around breaking 2:40, his doubts about holding 3:45/km on race day, and his estimate of around a 30% chance if everything comes together. Matt and Marty also discuss his weekly mileage rising toward roughly 160 km, a strong 2 km "on" / 1 km float session, and the mental benefits and drawbacks of group training, Strava comparison, and chasing other runners' sessions. They also talk through Marty's current race weight of around 66.5 kg, his plan to take 100 g of carbohydrates per hour, heavy sodium loading to reduce cramping risk, minimal fluids, and possible beetroot and bicarb trials. Marty shares that he has neglected sauna and strength work since moving but may add heat sessions back in, while Matt and Marty debate sauna protocols, strength training tradeoffs, and whether the Puma FastR is the right race-day shoe despite Achilles concerns.

Marty explains how he has been using Apple Watch sleep heart-rate trends and easy-run heart rate averages to monitor fatigue, illness risk, and readiness to push training. The conversation covers Marty's current weight goals, aiming for 64-66 kg while managing fluctuations, reducing protein slightly to lower muscle mass, and keeping strength through heavy, low-rep gym work. Matt and Marty also discuss performance versus longevity, marathon-running lifespan, the global running boom, online criticism, shoe wars, and Nike's position in the market. They also dive into sauna protocols inspired by Bryan Johnson, the idea of reaching core-temperature thresholds, and Marty's supplement routine including vitamin D, methylated B vitamins, TMG, stopping creatine 12 weeks out, and experimenting with beetroot.

He describes finishing controlled despite feeling slightly limited from lower recent volume, and recovering strongly enough to run again just two days later. The conversation then shifts into balancing marathon training with full-time work and parenting, including averaging around 5.5–6 hours of sleep, and how athletes can manage expectations when life stress is high. Kyle discusses his current goals, aiming to PB from 2:31:40 while seeing sub-2:30 as a longer-term progression rather than forcing it too early. Matt and Kyle also explore how weather impacts marathon outcomes, Matt's return from a sacral stress fracture alongside asthma management, and the plan to gradually rebuild volume and threshold work. They touch on shoe preferences, including the Puma Fast-R 3, interest in testing Chinese super shoes, and broader thoughts on adaptation to footwear, supplements, fueling, and strength training, with Kyle likely targeting peak long runs of 35–37K.

Matt and Kyle recap the Boston Marathon, discussing standout performances, strong Australian results, and how favorable tailwinds can make Boston far faster than many expect despite the course profile. They break down race execution, fast early splits, and why Boston can sometimes race more like a flat fast marathon than people assume.

They discuss recent 10K racing as a turning point for confidence and fitness, current weekly mileage, a key 4 x 2K workout, and how shorter races can be used as valuable marathon build checkpoints without needing to be in PB shape. They also cover influencer culture versus elite running performance, tall poppy syndrome, and why attention and actual results often do not align. Kyle explains how to manage niggles, when to seek professional help, and applies that thinking to Matt's calf issue during his return from a sacral stress fracture. The episode finishes with thoughts on doubles versus singles, training cycles beyond the traditional seven-day week, group training benefits, and why learning how to race matters just as much as fitness itself.

Matt Fox and Marty Bordignon talk through Marty's first marathon-specific block for the Gold Coast Marathon, his rough post-Osaka patch, and how things have started to turn around as training settles back near 100 km per week. They also discuss Marty's MTHFR-related folate/B-vitamin issue, tapering philosophy, group training in the heat, preferred YouTube running content, fueling economics, and Boston Marathon predictions.

Marty reflects on a difficult three-week stretch after Osaka where fatigue, low motivation, and even easy runs felt unusually hard, before things started to shift again as he returned to roughly 100 km per week and gained confidence from a session of 3K, 5 x 60 seconds, and 3K. The conversation also explores Marty's discovery that an MTHFR gene variant was affecting his ability to absorb folate and certain B vitamins properly, and how getting back on the right supplement made a major difference. Matt and Marty discuss early-morning group runs to manage the heat, training rhythm, pacing options, and realistic goal setting heading toward race day, with 2:40 framed as a stretch and 2:38 sitting more in the realm of possibility if training continues well. They also break down Steve Magness's recent tapering video and share their preference for shorter tapers that maintain intensity, before moving into a broader discussion on running YouTube, filming ideas, watch time, monetization, sponsor dynamics, Ben Felton's content, Jake Barraclough injury speculation, Cole Givens, Nick Bare's move away from data obsession, and the ever-growing cost of fueling - including DIY carb mix ideas versus gels. The episode closes with some Boston Marathon predictions and a bit of shoe talk.

Welcome to Episode 258 of the Better With Running podcast! Join hosts Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman as they recap their own training weeks before sitting down with returning guest and Run2PB coach, Jonny Squire. Hosts Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman kick off the episode with personal updates. Chris shares his experience at the Albert Park 10km, where he finished in 37:33.

The latest Better With Running podcast delves into the recent Gold Coast Marathon weekend, with co-host Zac Newman sharing his on-the-ground observations of the vibrant atmosphere, the massive number of participants exceeding 38,000 across all events.. Chris Armstrong, viewing from Melbourne, celebrated the impressive performances of Run2PB athletes, highlighting Andy Buchanan's win in the Hlaf and Matt Buckell's 10K victory, alongside an inspiring number of personal bests despite challenging conditions. Chris also provided an update on his own training, gradually building volume with 46K run last week, and preparing for a Cross Country hit out in Ballarat.The episode then features an anticipated interview with Liam Brandt, a returning guest, who recaps his remarkable sub-3-hour marathon debut at Gold Coast, finishing in 2:58:30. Beyond his personal achievement, Liam surpassed his fundraising goal for premature babies of $2000, raising over $5,500. He candidly discussed the challenges of the taper, admitting it was the hardest part of his preparation, and how putting his sub-3 goal public created pressure that motivated him through tough training sessions. Liam's race morning began smoothly, with surprisingly good sleep and a new breakfast routine featuring blueberry bagels.During the race, Liam meticulously stuck to his plan, relying on 5K splits and resisting the urge to push too hard early, frequently reminding himself and running partner Fraser Pope, "15 K's left of the warm up to go". He felt "very, very comfortable" up to the 30K mark, but the final 5K brought hamstring cramps, which he attributed post-race to a lack of sodium in his gels – a crucial lesson for future races. Crossing the finish line brought "instant relief" and "disbelief," as he grappled with the intense emotional weight of potential failure and the immense pride in justifying the time and effort invested.Looking ahead, Liam expressed that while he doesn't "absolutely love" the marathon race itself, he cherishes the training build-up and consistent progression. He plans to run the Gold Coast Marathon again next year, incorporating it into a family holiday, and aims to improve his 5K, 10K, and half marathon times. Liam concluded by thanking his wife Jess, coach James "Telf" Telford for his calming support, and running partner Fraser Pope for his invaluable guidance during the race, which he believes was critical to his success.With thanks to Oat Running Socks our partner, visit ⁠www.oatrunning.com.au⁠Run2PB Links:Socials Run2PB YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJxkh-FgU2Wsork-18PfSUA⁠Find us here at: https://www.run2pb.co/better-with-running-podcastReview on us: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-with-running/id1506419354⁠

This week's "Better With Running" podcast prepares listeners for the Gold Coast Marathon, featuring Run2PB coach Matt Davy and returning guest Liam Beecroft. Matt Davy offers crucial advice for race week, emphasizing that feeling "sluggish" or having "dead legs" during the taper is a normal and positive sign that the body is adapting and strengthening. He advises runners to resist the urge to "test" themselves with hard efforts and to trust their accumulated training. Practical tips include picking up race bibs early to avoid queues, avoiding excessive walking at the expo, and ensuring race day essentials are packed in carry-on luggage for those traveling. Matt also delves into optimal fueling and hydration strategies, stressing the importance of quality over quantity when carb-loading 2-3 days before the race, focusing on simple carbohydrates while avoiding high-fiber foods, excess protein, and fats to prevent stomach upset.The episode further covers race day execution and mental fortitude. Matt suggests a conservative start for the flat Gold Coast course to avoid going out too fast and recommends aiming for a negative split or consistent pacing, breaking the race into smaller, manageable segments. Mental preparation involves visualizing success, having a race mantra, and focusing on controllable factors like pacing, breathing, and hydration. Finally, Liam Beecroft, a Run2PB athlete and Accredited Practising Dietitian, provides expert insights into nutrition for runners. He discusses fundamental nutritional pillars for daily training, carbohydrate needs for different race distances, and optimal pre- mid and post-workout meal recommendations.

If you're looking to take your running to the next level, strategic use of a training log can help you get there. Using a journal to collect your thoughts, plan your goals, and analyze your short and long-term training can provide unique insights to improve as a runner. With that in mind, this week's podcast is a special edition to introduce something I have been working on over the past nine months. Strength Running's own running log - The Performance Training Journal - is now available! The power of reflection is real. While an electronic log on Strava can store your mileage and splits, it doesn't encourage any interaction or reflection. There is little opportunity for growth. While a pencil and paper log may sound archaic these days, the simple act of writing and reflecting has more power to improve your running than any app. If you aren't logging the details of your training, you're missing an opportunity for improvement. This edition of the podcast is meant to help you understand the value of a journal and learn how the Performance Training Journal has been created and refined to help you get the most from your running.  You'll learn how our  journal can help you... Focus on the most useful training metrics  Approach your training to continue improving Gain a better understanding  of your body's capabilities and limitations Find confidence leading into a key event Learn about strength training, injury prevention, race planning and more Get started with the Performance Training Journal today! Thank You Previnex! We're supported by our newest partner, Previnex. After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I'm cautiously changing my tune. I'm less than a year from being a Masters runner and in my personal life, I'm optimizing for longevity. I want to be my healthiest self for as long as possible and I'm excited to partner with Previnex to make that happen.

Running form has often focused on concepts like cadence and footstrike to create change and improve efficiency. But a “top down” approach - focusing on the arms, torso, and cues - is an innovative and accessible way to become a stronger, healthier runner. This week's guest on the podcast is Paul Mackinnon, a former semi-pro hockey player who has become an expert on gait retraining. Paul is from Melbourne, Australia and has worked with many high level athletes over the years to improve their running form, including former podcast guest and 2:19 marathoner Peter Bromka. My discussion with Paul is a masterclass on form. Despite this being a complex topic, his ideas are easy to grasp and  have made me rethink some commonly held concepts about running technique. Some of the topics we discuss on the episode include: Paul's “top down” approach to thinking about running form and technique 3 of the most common problem areas for runners How your arms create lift in your running The underestimated torso - why we need to focus here first The impact of running shoes on form Form cues that help reinforce proper form Why the “don't fix what isn't broken” mentality may not be the best way to approach running technique The importance of body awareness to create change in your form This week's episode can help runners learn how to improve their form at any stage of the game.  Enjoy!

A big thanks to Elemental Labs for their support of this episode! They make electrolyte drinks for athletes and low-carb folks with no sugar, artificial ingredients, or colors. And you can get a free sampler pack of 4 flavors and 8 individual packets when you pay $5 in shipping. Elemental Labs' products have some of the highest sodium concentrations that you can find. Anybody who runs a lot knows that sodium, as well as other electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, are essential to our performance and how we feel throughout the day. The citrus flavor has quickly become my favorite. I'm drinking one a day now to help me get enough fluids in our dry Colorado air. It's tasty and delicious and I find that I'm not peeing every 45 minutes throughout the day, which might be an indication I wasn't eating enough sodium. There's now mounting evidence that higher sodium intake levels are not unhealthy – and athletes need substantially more than your typical sedentary person. Of course, ask your doctor if you're worried. But for those athletes running outside in the heat, an electrolyte replacement makes a lot of sense. So check out Elemental Labs to try their new flavor or get a free sampler pack.  Thank You Gold Coast Marathon We're supported by the Gold Coast Marathon which takes place in Queensland, Australia on July 2nd, 2023.

On the podcast this week I have Sarah Gearhart, a writer and 14-time marathoner. She's a sports journalist whose work has appeared pretty much everywhere, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Runner's World, and many others. Sarah is the author of the new book, We Share the Sun: The Incredible Journey of Kenya's Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang and the Fastest Runners on Earth. Patrick Sang is the coach of Eliud Kipchoge, widely regarded as the world's best marathoner. But the culture he has created at his Kaptagat training camp focuses on treating all runners - Kipchoge included - as a whole person. Sarah's time at the camp allowed her a unique insight into this community that few of us know or understand, but sets an example that all runners can learn from. Sarah and I touch on a number of topics surrounding her new book, including: What drew her to write about Patrick Sang and the athletes he coaches Why Patrick Sang is often described as a life coach and not just a running coach How the culture Sang created for his athletes contributes to their success The immersive experience of Sang's runners and how it adds to their dominance How Kipchoge came to be coached by Sang Why Sarah's perspective on running has evolved since her time in Kenya Sarah's book is beautifully written and a must read for anyone who loves the sport.

Get yourself a memory of a lifetime and commit to this amazing destination race in one of the most beautiful countries that I've ever visited. You can run the marathon or any distance down to 5k, but the marathon course is flat and fast with only 75 meters of elevation gain. Over 60% of finishers self-report a PR at the end of the race.  I spent 6 weeks in Australia, with one of them being in Coolangatta on the Gold Coast. The beaches are stunning, the people are friendly, and the natural environment of this region is so beautiful. If I could go back there and run this race with you, I would in a heartbeat.

Get yourself that shiny new PR on a fast course - with a destination race you're going to love, at the Gold Coast Marathon on July 2nd.
