I have a need to be self indulgent and review the successes of 2010. Below are some of the highlights from my athletes
- Gold Medal (age group) at European Duathlon
- Sub 3hr marathon, top 30 finish (female) and a pb of 10minutes
- Qualification and representation at Worlds and European championships (Olympic Distance)
- Qualification and representation at 70.3 World championships Clearwater
- Completing first Ironman and Middle Distance Tris
- Achieving a goal of sub 2:30 Olympic distance and a PB
- All CanToo runners finishing their Half Marathon within their time objective
I could go on. Well done guys these successes are a result of your had work, dedication and commitment to your training racing. Bring on 2011
The year is definitely flying by and I am wondering where the first 2 months have gone. To start my year off I have been contacted by a number of people with their new years resolution and I am now full up for one to one coaching.
I am also very pleased to say that I have commenced coaching for Can Too. Can Too is a charity based in Sydney raising money for cancer research in search of a cure (Can Too currently operates in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane). Can Too is unique to any other charity that I have come across in that Can Too takes an active interest in each particpants fund raising and provides proactive support and advise to assist people to achieve their target and they also provide the coaching and a training plan. The groups meet twice each week, for a track session and endurance run. this also helps develop a team atmosphere and ensures that all entrants have the best chance of achieving their goal. For more info on CanToo their web site is http://www.cantoo.org.au/
I am coaching the South West pod in Sydney, based in Liverpool, we are training towards the Sydney Morning Herald half marathon in May 2010 and are into our 4th week of training. I will blog our progress, currently we have seen improvements in speed work at the track and have developed our longer runs at just over the hour mark.
