#164: The full Rome marathon recap! Pizza, pacing and PBs with my brothers on the cobbles and riverside of Rome

from The Running Rules Podcast · host Alan Ladd

Today's episode is a full recap of the Rome marathon and why it's a great one to consider for next spring!I ran the marathon with my brothers Jonny and Phil who did amazingly well and we even had time for some sightseeing and people watching either side of the marathon.I talk about how plans can go out of the window early on, how big iconic sights can keep you going and why the Rome marathon isn't as hilly as you probably think but running on cobbles is different to what you expect.I also talk about the context of this race in terms of my build for Manchester marathon and how it's not ideal having a marathon before your target marathon.Go to ⁠www.therunningrules.com/services⁠ to find out ways you can get help including a one to one race prep call.
