This podcast was recorded six days out from the Berlin marathon. I discuss the build up, my marathon block, lessons learned from my last marathon, nutrition, race day plans, current news and much more.
In the second half of the podcast I speak with Philipp Baar, who has a marathon PR of 2:16. In this episode we talk about his new role as the Berlin Adidas Captain. Philipp shares some great course tips for those running the Berlin marathon, plus he shares an interesting point of the course that you might want to look out for! In this conversation with Philipp we talk about running drills, click the link below to see five running drills that you can add to your routine before you tackle a workout or a race.

There are several other episodes of the YouTube series, covering nutrition, and how I work out my pace by taking a lactate threshold test etc. So be sure to take a look.
I also mention the new work I’m doing with Relay, it’s a new platform paid platform that I’m working with other content creators to bring more value to the running community. Click https://www.patreon.com/relay to listen to the podcast with 2.20 marathoner Nick Bester.
