Ep80: Zac, Matt and Chris talk about their Melbourne Marathon Training, Race Preparations and How Smiling can help you run faster 😁

Zacca and Matt are joined by Run2PB coach Chris Armstrong on the episode this week. Zacca chats about how he's steadily reduced some mileage in his week, but keeps everything ticking over exceptionally well with a couple of strong sessions, including a cracking run over part of the Melbourne Marathon course with his 2min ON / 1min OFF session. 

Matt hits the track to get some leg turnover but battles in the heat and following a big Sunday. He joins in with a bunch of other Run2PB athletes and coaches for the long run, then adds a it of maintenance work on the back end. 

Chris chats about his week, only one week out from the Wellness Run 10km. He discusses one of his favourite sessions, hills then tempo, then chats about how he's feeling for the race.

Around the grounds segment loaded with results from the Sandy Point 10km/half marathon as well as the GC50 festival! Some amazing results coming through. Chris also chats about how Shepperton Runners Club is going, with a great turnout at their latest handicap race, over a mile!

With Melbourne Marathon only two weeks away, Zacca brings up a very important psychological technique of smiling during races! Chris and Matt discuss how they've used it before and what benefits they've found.
