Factors like training background, age, genetics, injury history, and current fitness level influence marathon completion time.  Mick went from someone who hated running and couldn't run more than 3km continuously, to running a marathon within 9 months 💪  #marathon #running

One of the most emotional moments I’ve ever witnessed 🥺 To you Sean, I don’t know you, but if you ever see this video, know that you INSPIRED thousands of people that day. Thank you for your courage and for showing others what is possible in the face of adversity 💜 #GCM23

I recently hosted Matt Daniels on the First42K podcast 🎙️  Matt Daniels ran 55 marathons in 55 days and 535 half marathons in 535 days to honour Andrew Cadigan (Cad) who passed away tragically after walking around Australia in honour of his own friend Chris Simpson.

CAIRNS TO MELBOURNE is coming soon  👀   #runforwishes #makeawish @makeawishaust

Swimming is anxiety-inducing for me. My heart and mind are racing! Despite swallowing water 😂 yesterday was my 3rd lesson this month & I feel less anxious each time. Beating that inner voice is empowering 💪🏽 Future goal = Ironman & Ultraman 🏊‍♂️ #outworkselfdoubts #swimming

The 80/20 rule with running: 80 % of your running should be done at an easy aerobic intensity (zone 2 heart rate) 20% should be when you fly 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️🔥 So if you’re running 5 x per week: - 4 runs at a slower pace - 1 run - send it 💥 & watch it come together for you 💪

🏋️ Resistance training isn't just for aesthetics 💪  Incorporate it into your running routine weekly to build strength, power, and endurance.  Lift heavy to run longer, faster and prevent injuries.    #StrengthTraining #RunStrong

👟 Choosing the right running shoes is crucial to performance and injury prevention.  Visit your local running store and ask them for a quick form analysis - Proper running stores will do this. Get a professional fitting to keep those feet happy 🦶  #RunningShoes #First42K

📅 Create a training schedule to stay consistent. Just like you schedule your meetings, schedule your training. If you want to become a better runner, consistency is #1  #ConsistencyIsKey #First42K

Join a running group or find a friend to run with to keep you accountable. Particularly for easy (recovery) runs - Having a conversation with a friend whilst running will help you control your pace.  If you can't talk, you're running too fast.  #Accountability #First42K

🚴 Cross-training can enhance running performance. Mix up your running with cycling, swimming, or other activities you love.  Remember if you're not enjoying your training, you won't be consistent. Variety keeps training fun!  #CrossTraining #VarietyIsKey #First42K

To become a better runner, ensure there's variety in your training program 👇  Variety keeps training fun, and when you're having fun you're more consistent 👇  And consistency is everything. Regular training builds endurance and strength ✅  #Variety #Consistency #First42K

“Most people overestimate what they can achieve in a year and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade.” When I ran my first 15k fun run in 2016 I never knew what the future would hold, I just loved the sport and went all in. #runner #running #ultrarunner #ultrarunning

🎯 Mapping out my 2026 season 🏃‍♂️Ballarat Half – Apr 26 (A Race) 🏃‍♂️ GC Half – Jul 5 (B Race) 🏃‍♂️ Sydney Marathon – Aug 30 (A Race) Every training block and every training session has a purpose. Periodisation is the key 🔑 #running #runcoaching

I was in the gym 14 days ago like any other Monday morning. I was doing an explosive single leg glute bridge as part of my plyometrics. Some how that caused a full collapse of my right lung. 13 nights in hospital and VATS surgery later, I'm finally discharged. Wtf 😂
