Week 8: Race Ready or Building Bricks

It’s a busy one this week so let’s get straight into it!

For some of you, it's officially Race Week 🏁
For others, you're halfway through this training block 🧱
And for the rest… we know you're just here for the potential freebies 😏

To save you reading the waffle, here’s the link to this week’s training plan (same link every week):

🏃 Sydney Marathon Crew

Business as usual. This week we’re hitting 26km on the long run and starting to stare down those 30km+ efforts. This is the grind, the hard but important bit. You’ve built the foundations, now it’s time to lay solid brickwork over the next 4–6 weeks. Lock in and let’s get after it.

🏁 HYROX & GC Marathon Crew

Nerves? Good. It means you care. It means you’re ready.

Remember: you can’t get much fitter in the final 5–6 days, but you can get injured. So train smart, stay sharp, and use that nervous energy as fuel. The race is a celebration of the weeks of work already done.

We’ll still have a taper track session on Wednesday, but no pressure to attend listen to your body and only come if you really want to.

Thank you, as always, for showing up and being part of Tribal. Whether you know the person or not, if you see someone racing this weekend in a Tribal tee or just looking like they need a boost give them a cheer. It could be the push they need, and it only takes a second.

Have a great week and can’t wait to see you out there!
