Marty Lawrence EP1

The Finale I recorded a Gold Coast Marathon recap and realised I didn’t actually want to talk about splits for 30 odd mins So this episode is more about the bigger question I was asked after the race: what has actually changed over the past 12 months that helped my running improve? I talk through the 2:42 at Gold Coast, chasing 2:39, not giving up when the goal slipped away, the boring consistency...

This week I unpack one of the most controversial topics I've covered yet: has running become too soft? From the old "runner vs jogger" labels at Bridge to Brisbane to social media's obsession with participation over performance, I dive into whether we've started lowering the standards in the sport and why I think authenticity is disappearing. I also give an honest update on m...

This week’s podcast is a shorter episode but probably the most honest I’ve been yet.

Turns out saying your thoughts out loud every week forces a bit of self reflection. Who knew. I also spoke about trying to improve my sleep after years of broken 5 hour nights,...

This podcast is basically a bit of a personal experiment pushing myself to get uncomfortable, speak more openly, and stop overthinking what people might think. It’s not about being polished or having all the answers; it’s about documenting the process, sharing my thoughts around training and life, and opening myself up to feedback and criticism so I can actually grow. If it resonates with people,...

This is a self-development experiment, just happening in public. Unfiltered thoughts, weekly reflections, and a willingness to say things before they’re perfectly formed. It might not always be polished or insightful and that’s kind of the point. I’m opening the door to feedback and criticism, because that’s where real growth comes from. Not just becoming a better runner but a better communicator,...
