- From marathon to mates
Came for the GC marathon content but have stayed for the chit chat. Really enjoying the banter between Liam and Courtney. Interesting perspective on running, tris, endurance sports, training, equipment, fueling, and just general interesting news from around the traps. Love the local context.
