Marathon Running - Be Your Best
Welcome to our marathon running page.
Here is where we'll point you to some marathon resources to help you be your absolute best when it comes to marathon running.
Tips from Campbell Maffett
Firstly, check out the interview with age group Australian champion Campbel Maffett here - Campbell won the sprint, Olympic and long course triathlon in his age group in 2007 (35-39 yo) and is one of the most respected athletes in the sport.
He's also a terrific runner and is aiming for a sub 2 hour 30 minute at the Gold Coast Airport Marathon this year.
Whilst Campbell doesn't talk specifically of marathon running, his entire approach to his athletic career is something I think everybody can learn from.
Marathon Video and Audio
Secondly, check out Brendon's page on How To Run The Gold Coast Marathon. The page has (amongst other things):
- Full video of the Half Marathon course (best I've seen)
- Interviews with marathon stars including Pat Carroll, Sam Hughes (both previous winners)
- Nutrition tips with me (David Williams)
I particulary like the input from first time Half Marathon runner Jackie.
