Cape Town, South Africa has officially been named as the eighth star Abbott World Marathon Majors series starting in 2027.

It joins Tokyo, Boston, Berlin, London, Chicago, New York, and Sydney as bucket-list marathons around the world.

Today, I’m going to talk to PR Team member Terry Whelan about his experience running the marathon in Cape Town, South Africa in May.

You’ll learn:

What the race was like
How the experience of the Age Group Championships went, and
How his training is about to change this year

If you’re a runner that’s worried that your age is catching up with you, Terry’s about to give you a little inspiration.

And if you’re gearing up for a big race this fall, now is the time to get your plan in place. To make things easier, I’ve just built a super cool training strategy quiz that will help you figure out exactly which training solution is perfect for you. I’ll tell you more about it a little later in the show, but if you’re ready to check it out now, head to www.theplantedrunner.com/start.

RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great snack sized bits of running info

“Stumbled across this podcast the other day and finding it very useful. Each episode is short and to the point with actionable information for the listener. You won’t find case studies and long episodes with this one, there are time and place for those as well. But sometimes you just want an episode you can get through in one quick setting.”
