Marine Corps Marathon

So I completed my first marathon about 12 years ago.

I did the Marine Corps marathon in D.C., Highly, highly, highly recommend it.

It does require summer training, which is a special experience.

And I was almost dead last.

All right, moving on to our next subject here.

We've got a guy who set up a camera at mile 21 of the Marine Corps Marathon.

Marine Corps Marathon held in Washington, D.C. in the fall every year.

Bucket list marathon, I think, for folks out there.

It goes around all the monuments.

in a fashion meant to deceive people and to prevent the system from being able to stop him.

There's a golf course, a park down there that I've run by for years in the Marine Corps Marathon and jogged through for years before that when visiting my son.

Trump said, we're going to do some maintenance there.

and within a couple of days he had crews cut down hundreds of trees um then his plan is we're going to make some giant uh world-class uh golf club there and at any rate that's kind of held up in the courts the whole kennedy center thing where he's threatened to tear that down but about the triumphal arch i don't know if you can picture it um But one of the things I've done in the past that I love to do is go to Washington, D.C., and I'll hop on the train, and I'll go to Arlington.

But, you know, okay, it's an achievement.

Riley ran before that in the Marine Corps Marathon.

You were ahead of all those New York marathoners.

I

It's happening on that day.

What would you know? Anywhoos, by the time this pod episode drops, folks, we will be in the month of the marathon.

Today, my esteemed co-host and I will regale you with our three biggest successes from this year's training, as well as three of the more challenging aspects of training.

Daryl, you ready to do this? Am I ever.

And the core I've been mixing in just because.

But I think that that probably isn't hurting anything either.

So hopefully can keep up both of those things, not just through the end of the marathon, but just going ahead.

So hopefully that will also help

Lots to cover as well.

This week, Marine Corps marathon for me and Kel to, to catch up on as well as some very quick racing over there in New York and Valencia half as well.

But before we do that, I'll go to you, Dylan.

You've got some sad news that was announced to us this morning from the athletics world.

I'm recovering from a cold, as you can probably tell from my voice, and I spent the best part of seven hours on the train today trying to get back home from Bath.

So yeah, I'll lean on you two a little bit today, I think.

Should we go to our training weeks for the lead up to Marine Corps Marathon? So from the 19th to 25th, me and Callum will cover off our training weeks, then we'll go into the race itself.

Callum, you go first.
