The normal reaction I get to telling someone I'm running a marathon is something that questions my sanity and grudgingly acknowledges the guts required to take on the challenge. This morning it was refreshing to sit opposite Tony Boutagy at his gym in Cremorne, see him smile and say the words "it's Only 42 kilometers!"
Tony trains a lot of Ultra Marathoners, so a standard marathon (while admirable) is no big deal. His confidence in being able to help me prepare, his clarity in describing what was required and how my training would progress under his guidance left me feeling refreshed and inspired at what was possible.The goal I have created with Tony is to complete the marathon in under 4 hours, and I have the confidence that under his training that is a done deal!
