Episode 9 was a fun one. Thankfully the duo reunited as a trio as Eoin returned from his travels up North and down South.

It's race week for Dean and Ryan, Ballarat marathon which has been the main focus for the boys over the past couple of months since Marugame. So we switched things up a little to focus on their plans for the race and dive into how they will prepare from a taper/fuelling/carb load perspective.

Firstly we recapped Boston marathon which was won by the Kenyan duo of John Korir and Sharon Lokedi. The lads got excited by Conner Mantz courageous run for 4th and Pat Tiernan flying the Australian flag in a bold run. Rory Linkletter looked Clayton Young in the eye and said 'Lets Tango' as they came up to the finishing straight.

We previewed the insanely deep field that will be taking to the streets of London this weekend and discussed who our fancies might be from a truly world class elite field as well as looking at who might go well from a British perspective.

Eoin took charge to fire some insightful marathon related questions off to the lads and pick apart their race strategy, goals and mentality. Which, if you would like to have your own opinion on Dean's finishing time head over to our instagram @easydoublepod and submit your guess for a chance to win $100 worth of @bix_aus nutrition gels.

Listener questions brought us home as Ryans building security guy reminded us that we were definitely finishing up!

Enjoy! As always reach out and connect, let Dean and Ryan know how you think they might get on in Ballarat or share your race-day tips.
