Eight and a half weeks out from race day and Liam’s calf is cactus. Again!

So we brought in one of the best — Olympic team physio and Gold Coast Physio & Sports Health director Britt Caling — to unpack how to stay unbroken on your marathon build.

In this episode:

– Bone stress, calf dramas & the U-curve of injury risk

– Why “just running” isn’t enough: strength, sleep & activation tips that work

– What to do when you’re sick during training (plus the myth of running through it)

– How to build a personalised pre-run routine (without losing your morning coffee)

– When to actually go see a physio, and what good physio care should include

– “Sleep monsters”, race hallucinations & the wild world of adventure racing

🎧 Whether you’re chasing a PB or just hoping to make the start line, Britt’s advice is gold.
