Kyle talks through an otherwise smooth and consistent race, including a brief hamstring cramp around 40K that he managed with a CrampFix shot.

They also discuss his fueling strategy of around 90 grams of carbs per hour, missing a late gel, the impact of faster-than-goal-pace training, cadence changes, and the favorable low-humidity race conditions. The conversation also covers Haftu\u2019s Australian record of 2:06:20, crowd support, Gold Coast course logistics, and several athlete results including Marty\u2019s 2:42 PB and Ally\u2019s debut 2:36:22 with dead-even splits. Matt and Kyle also dive into the wider mystery of marathon cramping, possible causes, and practical strategies runners can consider. Available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
