Sydney Marathon | Everything I Wish I'd Known Before Racing It

I ran the Sydney Marathon and there are some things I wish I'd known in advance, and some things I chose to ignore. Here's everything you actually need to know. I'm covering the expo and bib collection, the bag drop situation that catches a lot of people out, where to stay, what to wear, how to handle the hills, the quieter stretches nobody warns you about, the best finish line in world marathon majoring, and what to put in your drop bag for the long walk home afterwards. -------- Follow me on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/therunnerbe...
