Better with Running

This week on the Better with Running Podcast, is a Gold Coast Marathon Special recap show with 2 #teamrun2pb guests coming on to share their stories from the roads

The first guest is Laura Kerlin, who last year ran 3:15:13 after a horror lead-in with migraines, this year Laura smashed it rolling a 3:08:36 which is a 7-minute PB

We hear about some of the preparations, her coach pre race advice, and a detailed race recap that includes some special moments on course with friends and family.

The second guest is Benji Hoppit, who the podcast has been following along the journey of this young runner. Last year he ran 2:54:59 in Sydney last year but we had heard was hungry for a PB at this year Gold Coast Marathon and he delivered nailing it was a negative split running 2:46 for an 8-minute PB.

Benji talks to the guys about his approach to this block, the changes he has made and then onto more details about his race day prep and the mindset he had around patience and discipline that his coach Brady Threlfall had instilled in him during their planning sessions. Benji takes us deep into the race and we hear how he was able to run through the field.

The show rounds out with a quick update from the hosts before a direction to the Run2PB instagram post
