Pre-Race Survival Guide

Episode 8 - Pre-Race Survival Guide

It’s Melbourne Marathon week, and if you’re within 72 hours of race day, this one’s for you.

The taper tantrums are real, the carb-loading has started, and the nerves are kicking in. Tom’s training has gone very well (don’t worry, he mentions it), and we’re here to help you head into the weekend feeling calm, prepped, and ready to roll.

We cover what real carb-loading looks like, how to move and stretch without overdoing it, and race-day tips that’ll help you hold strong when the going gets tough. We also talk through mental prep, staying grounded, and what not to do the night before.

Plus, we share details on our official Shakeout Run with Beyond Blue and Grill’d—a chance to connect, move together, and kick off race weekend the right way. (See link in bio for details.)

It’s a fun one, full of laughs, nerves, and the usual effit honesty.

effit. You’re ready.
