Episode 3 - Brian's Melbourne marathon training plan

Brian battles it out with his brother at the Bairnsdale Park Run and relearns why racing 5k is hard after a six year break. Meanwhile, Lisa finds herself juggling too many balls in the air and bonks in a 10k, but still runs the first 5k faster than Brian's Park Run. We chat about Brian's 2018 Melbourne marathon training plan, Lisa's revised 2018 NYC marathon plan and discuss strategies for approaching longer runs.
