    5-MINUTE FRIDAY: G'day, Sydney

    August 28, 2026
    11m

    Live from Sydney, Australia, Emily checks in ahead of running her 16th marathon. She reflects on navigating the 24-hour travel journey, dealing with an accidental five-hour jet-lag nap, and why experience doesn't eliminate race-week nerves—it just gives you the tools to respond instead of react when plans go sideways.

    Then, she dives into a listener question about how to find and vet a credible run coach, breaking down key certifications to look for and why finding someone who understands your "why" matters just as much as credentials.
