How To Prepare For A Marathon Properly

A podcast to help you Train Smarter and Race Faster. Hosted by expert Triathlon coach, Australian Ironman Champion and 15 x Aus Age group Champion Gerard Donnelly, and his son, multiple Triathlon + Cycling Aus Age Group Champion Jordy Donnelly.

In this episode, we are continuing our series on preparing for an event properly and today's focus is on the marathon. There's nothing we love more than seeing our beloved sport of running, grow. And I've had more and more friends reaching out over the last couple of years who have entered a half or full marathon and are looking for guidance. And since the pandemic, it seems more people have taken up running.

Today we're taking you through how to tackle the monster that is the marathon, how to train properly for it, how to get through the actual race, how to stay uninjured, and much, more.
