The TCS Sydney Marathon is the newest Abbot World Marathon Major and we're joined by race director Wayne Larden to learn more about it. We'll answer questions like:

How did the Sydney Marathon become a World Marathon Major? How to register for and get into the Sydney Marathon? What is the course like and can you run a fast time there? Why does the race start earlier in the morning than most majors? (6:30 am) How is the race going to support more runners? What happens to the 6-star medal after Sydney becomes a World Major? Why should you consider a trip to Sydney and what else is there to do there? This episode is everything you need to know about the official new 7th world major.

This is a huge change for Sydney to join the list of World Majors and we're excited to bring you a sneak preview.

Magic Mind

You listeners know I do the majority of my runs and workouts in the mornings. And like you, this often results in a major afternoon slump. From just overall fatigue to brain fog that makes it hard to be creative and productive.

Of course I've tried coffee and energy drinks, but while this provides a quick burst of energy, it doesn't last long and it's usually accompanied by jitters and feeling over-stimulated.

So, a few weeks ago this brand called Magic Mind reached out and they were like: Hey, you got to try our shots, you'll get super focused. And if you love them, we'd love to sponsor the show, so I did and I really love them, so I wanna tell you guys all about them and why I accepted them as a sponsor.
