The RMA Podcast. Episode 73. Running the Berlin Marathon with Amanda Richardson and Charmaine Smyth.

Want to run a marathon? How about a World Major Marathon? With marathon's all the rage, and running booming, the Abbot World Marathon Majors are becoming hugely popular, and its a dream to secure a spot at one of these prestigious marathons around the world! The series entails 6 Majors, Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York, (and possibly soon to be more...) and in this episode on the podcast we chat with RMA Members, Amanda Richardson and Charmaine Smyth about their 2024 Berlin Marathon experience.

2024 celebrated the 50th year of the Berlin Marathon. Amanda and Charmaine share their experiences in securing an entry, training and preparing for their marathon, dealing with setbacks or challenges along the way, what considerations need to be given when travelling across the world for a world major event and what the days leading in and the race day experience was like. 

As we discuss in this episode, a marathon is really for everyone, and running is all about the people who participate and the places we can explore, so putting a World Marathon Major on your bucket list might just be the thing for you!
