Enjoyed watching your film and congratulations on your run. I’ve done Manchester, Edinburgh and London Marathons with Brighton booked for April. NYC is most certainly on my bucket list.

I didn’t expect much when I first tried Tongkat Ali, but it’s definitely added something to my runs. I take around 600mg on race day or when I’m pushing past 20km-along with my usual mix of electrolytes, energy gels, and sometimes caffeine or creatine-and it really seems to help with endurance and recovery. I’ve been getting less of that heavy-leg feeling, especially on the longer runs, and my recovery time feels quicker too. On regular training days, I keep it to about 200-400mg, which fits nicely with my usual vitamins and minerals. Honestly, if you’re a runner looking to keep your energy steady, it might be worth a shot. Just take it with your usual supplements; it’s a smooth addition to the routine! ALL THE BEST EVERYONE AND DON'T GIVE UP TO ALL YOU NEW RUNNERS!

Interesting it used to have all the hills in the back half they have actually tamed it down I feel but I haven't run the newer course I'll have to run it next year . But your right it's a beautifully brutal course.

@JoshButton5 ай бұрын
Last year was brutally hot. A week later it was cool and damp and perfect running conditions. The course has changed a little bit. You don't go around Darling Harbour anymore. Which I'm sad about cos I love it down there. But parts of that weren't ideal for the elite runner. Elevation isn't too bad. Not all majors have to be easy. The heat was the killer. The start has also been moved to the much roomier North Sydney Park which was my biggest piece of feedback. Should be better in 2024. Come back when we're a major!
@samandnick5 ай бұрын
Yeah it was SOOO hot!! Sad about darling harbor and the start! Those were some of my favorite places to run and the start felt incredible because you immediately go on the bridge and it sets the mood for the whole race! But i totally understand!

My first marathon was yesterday, Sydney marathon 2024, I did no training, just parkrun semi regularly and i found it easy. But thats because i eat healthy high carb low fat vegan and ran it mostly zone 2. Didn't find the hills brutal and no blisters or any feet problems. But thats because i was wearing fibram fivefinger toe shoes with 3mm rubber soles instead of 2 inches of foam and a carbon plate.
