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. Liam also covers effective carb-loading and race morning strategies, addresses the role of supplements versus a balanced diet. He highlights common nutritional mistakes and how to avoid them, Liam is a 2:37 marathoner, and ran his 5k in 15:58 in 2024, he is prepping for Melbourne Marathon later this year to have a crack at lowering that time even further.
