In this mini, I reflect on my half marathon, which I ran as part of the Marathon Training Academy Social Distancing Run... I reflect a bit on how this run was symbolic during an uncertain time and how I was feeling throughout.

This week on Covid Update 2020… But, seriously… We’re back! After Zac and I had taken a bit of a break to get our bearings during this crazy time, we’ve come together to talk about how we are going and what we are doing to keep fit (and sane). We talk a bit about your big accomplishments and how it’s inspiring us and others to keep our goal setting mindset going! We take a look at some of the positives of the isolation world we live in today and how we can use that to our advantage.

We also talk a bit about the current competition where you can win some Spartan swag!

Congratulations to all of you continuing with your goals, and to those of you just starting on your journey. Keep going and stay positive.

Join Zac (and Daryl) as they participate in a fifty kilometre ultramarathon held at Brimbank Park in Keilor, Melbourne, Australia. This was one of the last running festivals to occur before COVID-19 pandemic controls stopped both social and organised sport gatherings. At the start Zac talks about his decision to participate in the event. Then listen to the boys as they head off on their journey full of hope and optimism, not knowing what would come next...
