from Run Now, Cry Later · host RunNowCryLater
Two 2:59 marathoners talk race weight — the numbers, the tradeoffs, and why chasing it can become dangerous.

Rin breaks down his Mackay Marina Half Marathon prep: pacing strategy, a shoe dilemma, and a Coros Pace 4 held hostage by Australia Post.Training recaps bring the goods: Rin smashes a tempo session from last year — still recovering from gastro, 11 weeks back from an 8-month injury. Zac runs 34km along the Brighton course, negative splits it into a headwind, and signs up for the marathon the moment he finishes.Also: Pilates ball chaos, an Excel spreadsheet running brain, and what it means to post "come at me" on Strava.Floberg’s Boston Race Vid - https://youtu.be/MHWQqNBhzl4?si=ljliw44s_KXq1WkMLife in Stride ft.
