  Hey man, as a t1 who's just got into running some decent distances, I would love a video thats just a more high level set of thoughts on running as a t1d. I feel like there's lots of lessons I've not yet learned, like how you're running with an insulin pen, as having high BG is absolutely BRUTAL on a run, but its a bit counterintuitive as id normally not want insulin anywhere near me on a long run. I feel like you have some wisdom but your videos are usually much more on the training than the t1 -- just thought I'd say I'd be interested and appreciate learning from your experience (obv not medical advice but you have experiences!). Best of luck on the marathon!

•

  Would be interested to hear your thoughts now that they've announced some changes for 2024! Absolutely wild that the year before you ran it there was another 100m of elevation.. It was so brutal! Totally agree with you for the date change. It's currently just after the cut-off to be a qualifier for the following years' Boston Marathon, so even a week earlier would be great for weather and for BQs.

  Thanks Harry, to be honest I don't believe owe actually need another Major, esp as Australia is so far away for the rest of the world, it will make it very difficult for people tomcat the full set, but saying that, if you live in Aus like myself, every major is a mammoth journey and very expensive. I think Abbott marathon major execs must've just watched this video and implemented all of my recommendations lol, where do Is end the bill?! Another 100m of elevation would've been brutal! Date definitely needs to change to avoid clashing with other majors and to avoid heat issues like 2023.

  Hi Nathan. Great video. I’m doing Noosa 50k ultra in 3 weeks and I’m interested in your thoughts on shoes. I have Hoka Speedgoat trail shoes but I’m loving my long runs in my ASICS road shoes. Could I use road shoes as it doesn’t look technical?

• 
  @ultradiabetic4 ай бұрын

  Hi Matt, congrats on closing to do this race. I have a pair of speedgoats which I wore on this race I believe and def would not recommend a road shoe, especially with some of the downhills sections and wood sections early on. Also the grass hill at half way would be too slippery for road shoes and the trail up to the 38km checkpoint and then near the finish would def warrant a trail shoe. Hope that helps. Also fill up on plenty of water at the 38k checkpoint and food as at 45k there was not much other than water.

  I don't think Sydney will get a flat marathon. The city is hilly so no avoiding it. I think Sydney simply needs to embrace the elevation and sell it as a challenging marathon like Boston. But if they could get rid of the switchbacks and find a route which loops from the Harbour Bridge to the Opera House, I believe it would be a lot more enjoyable even with the elevation. I really hated the amount of time spent in Centennial Park and feel it ruins the run.

  The Sydney marathon course has some amazing views, but everything you mentioned is absolutely correct, especially the hills, the twists and the heat. The Gold Coast Marathon is far better, although even in July, the GC can be warm and humid. The Melbourne Marathon is probably much better than Sydney, although it can be a little warm as well, and then there is the HM intermingling with the marathon. One error you made is the Gold Coast HM is on the Saturday but the 10km is on the Sunday, not Saturday as you suggested. I ran the GC HM last year and my friend ran the 10km, he held my rain coat and I went and cheered him on, as he was coming back from open heart surgery. Anyway, thanks for the video.

  Thanks for this Nathan. I am trying to decide on whether to go to Sydney for the Age Groups World Championship in 2024, and while I would love to do the race, and would love to visit Australia, so far I see zero evidence that any of the troubling issues you bring up are being addressed for 2024 - the date is the same, the timing is the same, the half marathon is still on the same date (and starts earlier in the day - what is the point of that?), and the course hardly seems to be any different. It is a long and expensive trip from the east coast of the US, and I don't want to do it only to be aggravated by a lot of avoidable issues!

• 
  @ultradiabetic6 ай бұрын

  Totally understand Anthony. I’m not sure how it will get Major status with the issues I brought up and which everyone seems to highlight. There seems to be no structural recommendations made by Abbot. It just seems they want to accept Sydney just to take their money without making sure the marathon is as high a level as the other majors. Most of the world will find late September too hot and humid to run a marathon that starts at 7am. The whole marathon in my opinion needs revamping especially the start, the route and date. 🤞🏼

  I'm a Sydney boy and would never do Sydney Marathon as an A race. The course is awful. Scenic and iconic - right up there with the best, but running on footpaths, twists and turns, out and backs are no good. You could get a good flat'ish course if you started out west or south west, then ran in to the city and finish at the Opera House as per today. Hang on, I've done it. Start at Liverpool, run up past Warwick Farm, Villawood, Auburn, Lidcombe, Olympic Park, Rhodes, Gladesville, Hunters Hill, Lance Cove, North Sydney - then home across the bridge. It is going to get spicy in the last ten k, but hey, how bad do you want it?

  To expand on my comments the only city in Australia with the international appeal to be a major is Sydney and I dont live there however changes need to be made for it to make the jump to that level first of which is the startits to narrow for that size of field and not enougth room pre race. There is also an overreliance on the park with the endless out and backs in there, the road surface in parts was poor as well. I dont think the course profile is a problem not all courses need to be superfast NY and Boston both have significant elevation gain. Aid stations can be improved and removing some of the out and backs give room for wider aid stationsfor one with better access to ice (I only saw one aid station offering ICE) and gels.
