Thankfully, I’ve got guys like Matt Ramsden and Ben Chamberlain pulling me around the track here in Perth in the meantime. Obviously, Chambo and Ramsden need no introduction, and their professionalism and elite mindset towards training is something that I’m constantly learning from as a Duathlete. My 10km pb time was well below par for my standards, sitting at 31.15 on the track. However, after weeks of hard work, during threshold sessions, Rambo and Chambo were pulling me through at PB pace for 8km’s and I felt pretty comfortable. After surviving a bunch of these sessions, I was feeling good enough to have a crack at my PB. The Hoka Isolation Challenge was the only excuse I needed to throw on the racing flats.
Hi all,
My last blogs have just been overviews and updates about what I have been up to, so this time I though I might add in some info about my training as well because I know that’s the kind of thing I find interesting when reading things like this.

Wins and Losses
During the first six months of this year I have had some wins, but also some losses. Here are the highlights and lowlights:
Win: I arrived in Falls Creek in better shape than I thought and completed some great sessions. I was only there for 10 days (rather...
Being an athlete of this sport for so many years, I grew up drawing my inspiration from results I would read about in the news. I can’t say I always thought I would be an Olympic or World Champs representative but I can say I dreamt of following in...
12 months ago World Cross Country Trials weren’t really on my mind at all, in fact athletics and running were completely off the radar. After, injuring myself at Falls Creek on a training camp and being diagnosed with medial plica syndrome in my left knee, I had also just...
