Following some preparation, the Marathon Man had the great opportunity to make his very first live in store appearance at one of Australia's largest sporting goods stores at the local Rebel Sports store in Bondi Junction today.
I was positioned right up the front of the store on a top of the line treadmill with thousands of shoppers passing by having been enjoying a fun day out at the shops, eating in the food court and checking out the latest movies while the Marathon Man pounded away on the treadmill over five hours completing 38km between 1pm - 6pm.
This is one of the largest distances that I have ever covered and really was a great test of endurance with the H20, electrolyte replacement fluids,salt tablets and protein bars crucial in keeping me going. This was a awesome training run in preparation for the for the Marathon des Sables which now starts in only five weeks.
Although a little tired and sore I am really pleased to have pulled up well and will always remember the day the Marathon Man completed 38km in Rebel Sports Bondi Junction! Something tells me going to the shops will never be the same again ...
