Episode Notes

Cape Town joins the World Marathon Majors, Sydney gets shuffled down the calendar, and suddenly the running world is staring at nine majors instead of six.

With the Gold Coast Marathon now just weeks away, Liam and Courtney dive into the changing marathon landscape, training realities, race-day decisions, headphone debates, city-vs-city marathon rivalries, and whether the running boom is still climbing.

Plus, Courtney reflects on life away from structured training, Liam gets serious about marathon preparation, and the boys unpack some listener ideas that could make race day even more interesting.
