A Major Recap: Sydney Marathon Breakdown with Boudakin, Farrenkothen and Merrick

Just like that, the 2025 Sydney Marathon is in the rear vision mirror. Months of training. Years of planning. Decades in the making. We can confirm it was a major weekend not only for Sydney but for Australia on the whole.

The regular 4 return this week to answer all of your questions as well as recap in greater detail what was a big Sydney Marathon on Sunday, with all 4 speakers having a very different marathon experience.

We also unpack the elite fields, with a special eye on our homegrown heroes. And as always, we finish with our buy/sell of the week.

Thanks so much for listening and asking loads of questions - we appreciate it a great deal!

A guest list of Ella Boudakin, Kris Farrenkothen and Cam Merrick. Hosted by Rien MacDonald.

Never Run Alone is a podcast exploring the definitions of the word "run", through the eyes, mind and souls of humans refusing to stand still.
