The biggest buzz at the London Marathon this year wasn’t just the racing, it was around Nomio. It’s a performance shot used by athletes like Cole Hocker and Conner Mantz. Nomio is used before their key sessions and races, whether it’s breaking the American Marathon record or getting WC gold in Tokyo. If you want to check it out yourself, it’s at drinknomio.com and if you’re in Australia or New Zealand, you can find it at Aid Station, and over at The Running Company.

This weekend's interview on the Inside Running Podcast, Brady Threlfall sits down with Coach, Adam Didyk.

How do you break a national marathon record? We dive into that and plenty of training talk with coach Adam Didyk in this interview. Adam is one of Australia's leading distance running coaches, guiding both Australian marathon record holders, Jess Stenson and Haftu Strintzos. In this episode, we unpack the principles behind elite marathon performance, training philosophy, race preparation, and the key ingredients that go into producing record-breaking performances.
