Brisbane Marathon

So I'm like, oh.

i just don't do that now yeah yeah and so went from the 10k straight into the 25 did that and then thought i'll do a marathon and so i signed up for sign up gold coast was sold out for 2024 so i signed up for brisbane marathon and i thought before that as a lead up to the marathon i'll do gc30 And that's when I realized as I finished, I looked out to see the MCs.

I'm like,

that's Ben.

I'll leave it.

I'll just go.

And then after I did Brisbane Marathon, a spot open for Gold Coast Marathon.

So I thought, well, I'll go do that as well.

About the run.

About the Br- or the Brisbane Marathon.

No, you go first.

I'll jump into my thing afterwards.

So Jared, Jared Sh- Smith shared with us, um, a post that they've made the Brisbane Marathon into a one lap course.

A one lap course, yes.

Is this preemptive of getting a course ready for the games?

Mike Shelley-

I think that's going to be the best race review that we've ever seen.

But he also said, Tim, and this might be something we throw into next episode, can't wait to hear what you think about the Brisbane Marathon out and back, says advertised this week.

They look hard.

You might have talked about it already, but I'm just catching up.

Martin, we haven't talked about it.

It's the new Brisbane Marathon One Loop, and we might dissect it next week as part of the Marathon Madoc.

But thank you, Martin.

Great feedback.

It'll be in Queensland or we did run Melbourne last year.

We did the Brisbane marathon, half marathon this year.

And yeah, we'll just go away for the weekends.

We'll line it up with a footy game beforehand, whether it's AFL or NRL.

They've kept me out of trouble.

They've been good.

They were a good race shoe for the Brisbane Marathon, and then I reckon I've got a few more Ks in them, and then I'm going to, my birthday's in October, and I reckon I'll hopefully get a pair of those Adidas Hyperboosts.

uh you know i've found um the shameless plug but i bought just a white pair of socks from uh run havoc and they've been great i just i i'm like i've got to get these in the wash so i can have them for like you know two days time because i don't want to be running yeah another pair of socks at the moment so yeah that's what i'd say is getting me out of trouble at the moment in terms of gear and i've been wearing a nerd hat Yeah, like, you know, nerd belt? The nerd belt, yeah.

...

they were talking about Dom Fay completing the Brisbane Marathon the weekend-

Oh

... prior to the Lions-

And you're certainly doing that.

You know, fancy dress, making people happy, smiling and doing amazing stuff, which then would lead me into, I guess, really Brisbane Marathon.

I'd love to talk about Brisbane Marathon.

You mentioned earlier about you've seen in Hobart someone there running with a wheelbarrow.

Did that give you the inspiration to run with a wheelbarrow with your dog in Brisbane?

And I'm the kind of person that if I think something, I have to do it straight away.

And otherwise, I don't like to procrastinate or start to think like, what if, you know? So one day I just post a video and say, I'm going to cycle and running from Sydney to Brisbane.

In six days, and then I will run Brisbane Marathon with, I will buy around which one.

We'd like to think we can get an Australia-wide facilities legacy.

We would love the Brisbane Marathon.

And you mentioned the Sydney marathon.

That was a legacy gift from Sydney 2000.
