I appreciate the collective knowledge on this channel. I am a runner, too overburdened with other things to use a coach, and watching James, Heather and Mark help me pull together ideas for my progress!

This is so nice to hear! We really appreciate the feedback. Thanks

Sounds like the GTN team needs to try a 10K Swim this year!! 😂

[@gtn]

fancy leading the charge?

[@Claire_16]

The arm holes in sleeveless wetsuits chafe the top of my shoulders - sleeves all the way.

[@gtn]

we've heard of this happening in the past from others too!

Sydney Marathon course is harder and more hilly. Just jog it and use it as training run/fueling practice. Melbourne Marathon course looks way nicer for PB. For BQ, I paced Women BQ 3:30 at Chicago Marathon in mid Oct, then BQ-ed myself at CIM in early Dec. Body feels fine after Chicago and mentally inspired by all the women chasing their BQ. Overall a plus plus. I was able to do track workout 2 days after.

How do we feel about a marathon 5 weeks after a 70.3? Will be my first 70.3 and first marathon.

[@jamiefuhrman403]

I might try and work your long runs up to 15-16 miles in training for the 70.3. Say you take a week to recover and a week to taper, that gives you 3 weeks to add in another 4-5 miles for your longest run. Might be ambitious, though very doable with the right prep. Good luck!

[@nope69555]

@ Thanks very much! Great advice!

Re the back to back marathons : Sydney marathon is a really hilly course compared to Melbourne which is pancake flat

Thank you GTN for the amazing content I'd like to ask if apply lotion would count towards hydration. If yes, is there any ingredients/content in the lotion I should look for ?

I had planned to do Bolton ironman but it sold out the day I logged in to pay 😢 nothing interesting to train for now and it's only February 😭😭😭
