    The Secret Marathon Workouts YOU Need To Know w/ Jack Kelly

    Jack Kelly joins the Sweat Elite Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on massive weight loss, injury prevention, marathon training, running performance for triathletes, heat adaptation, recovery, and the small "one percenters" that can make a big difference. Follow Jack Kelly / The Triathlon Hour: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetriathlonhour/ Jack Kelly with Elliot Jenkins - Heat Training: Listen on Spotify Follow Matt / Sweat Elite: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/3152859 Sweat Elite Supporters Club: https://www.sweatelite.co/supporters/ Jack is the host of The Triathlon Hour and a coach working with professional triathletes. In this episode, we discuss his transformation from around 125kg down toward 80kg, the unconventional approach he used to lose weight while staying injury-free, and why walking, varied movement and high-frequency training may be underrated tools for endurance athletes. We then go deep into marathon training, breaking down some of our favourite sessions including 25 x 600m, 1K on/1K float, progression long runs, 2K repetitions, long marathon-pace intervals and the classic 2 x 10K marathon dress rehearsal. We also discuss sleep consistency, post-workout carbohydrate intake, creatine, Nomio, sauna and heat adaptation, occasional "hero sessions," energy drinks, and the importance of considering heart health when using stimulants.

    The Truth About Losing Weight to Run Faster

    Race Weight and Carb Cycling: Losing Weight to Get Faster Without Sacrificing Key Workouts Welcome back to another short, sharp sub 15-minute episode. Today, I discuss the relationship between race weight and endurance performance, using examples including Josh Kerr, the new mile world record holder, Comrades Marathon winner George Kusche, and Olympic triathlon champion Kristian Blummenfelt. I explain how losing weight has helped me improve my own marathon time from 2:35 to 2:18, while also addressing the risks of aggressive dieting and underfueling. This episode is not intended for anyone with a history of eating disorders, and I am sharing my personal experience rather than professional nutritional advice. I break down how I use a moderate calorie deficit on most days while carb cycling around important workouts. The goal is to fuel heavily with carbohydrates for approximately 12 hours before and three hours after key sessions, then return to lower-calorie, filling foods during easier periods.

    Sprint Training for Faster Marathons

    Recording from Beijing International Airport during a delayed Air China flight, I share a short, single-topic episode exploring the "speed gap" and why pure speed can be a major limiter for marathon and half-marathon performance. Using examples such as breaking three hours in the marathon and my own goal of running 2:19, I explain why runners need enough speed at shorter distances to make marathon pace feel sustainable. I also discuss why many runners and coaches place too much emphasis on mileage and threshold training while neglecting speed development. I finish the episode by sharing three practical ways to improve speed without dramatically changing your training: short max-effort hill sprints, regular strides after easy runs, and strength training focused on squats, hamstrings and calves.

Despite being sick for weeks in the lead-up, dealing with flu-like symptoms, headaches, IV drips, and a WHOOP recovery score of just 3% on race morning, Jack still managed to hold things together and come away with a personal best. Jack breaks down his training block, including half marathon tune-ups around 1:14:30, a small PB in Perth, marathon-specific workouts, and the consistent use of short 10-20 second hill sprints. He explains how the build gave him confidence, how he approached Gold Coast, and what he learned from being dropped by the 2:35-2:36 group around 32-34km. The conversation also covers Jack's fueling, what he will adjust before Berlin, and why he believes training in the Bali heat gives him an edge. Jack also shares his background with rare honesty, speaking about teen methamphetamine use, crime, police raids, rehab in Bali, halfway house life, and how he eventually rebuilt himself through sport, COVID-era running challenges, ultras, coaching, and the marathon.

The conversation also covers Haftu's Australian record of 2:06:20, crowd support, Gold Coast course logistics, and several athlete results including Marty's 2:42 PB and Ally's debut 2:36:22 with dead-even splits.

    Inside the Final Week Before a Marathon: Fueling, Confidence, and Paris Diamond League - Marty Bordignon

    Gold Coast Marathon Countdown: Taper, Wind Strategy, Fueling Plan, and Paris Diamond League Recap - Marty Bordignon With just six days until the Gold Coast Marathon, Marty Bordignon returns to the podcast to break down his taper, race strategy, fueling plan, and confidence heading into race day. We also recap the outstanding performances from the Paris Diamond League, including Cameron Myers' Australian record, Sarah Billings' national record, Marco Arop's incredible 1:41, and discuss the mindset needed to perform at your best. Please note: During the recording we incorrectly referred to the Commonwealth Games event as the 1500m. After recording we looked into it more closely and can confirm it will in fact be contested over the mile.

We discuss the latest Gold Coast Marathon weather forecast, the unique out-and-back wind conditions, whether it's worth committing to a pace group, and how to adjust your effort depending on the headwind and tailwind sections of the course. Marty also shares his complete race nutrition strategy, including carbohydrate intake, sodium loading, drinking to thirst, and the foods he'll rely on during his final days before the marathon. The conversation then shifts to the Paris Diamond League where we analyse Cameron Myers' stunning 3:28 Australian record, Sarah Billings' Australian 800m record, Marco Arop's 1:41 performance, Grant Fisher's 5,000m victory, and discuss confidence, championship racing, breakthrough performances, and why belief can completely change an athlete's ceiling.
