Blessings in disguise | RT Journal By Courtney Powell Hi everyone, Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! As some of you may have realised, I missed the Zatopek 10km which I was planning to do. Unfortunately I got my first injury in my lower back however...
G,Day It's been a while since I last checked in with RT, But recently there have been a few changes which suggest my breakthrough may be on the way. When you are not going as well as you had hoped for an athlete will occasionally spend some time reflecting, may...
This is my first time writing a blog so not sure how I’ll go but RT has kindly asked me to share my latest running experiences with you so I thought I would embrace the opportunity and give it a go. Before I begin here’s a bit about me “Clare...
Wow, what a day! I'd never won a really big race and I think winning the City2Surf, a race with 85,000 entrants, may just about usurp my Berlin 10k win dressed as a stormtrooper. Just about. I knew I had as good a chance of winning this race as...

It is hard to believe it is already a year ago that the world turned itself upside down, and life, and training, for the dedicated exercisers, as we knew it changed around the globe. One key to success and some form of consistency here, was adaptability. Luckily for me being a triathlete, I am already used to the art of cross training and the benefits that can be gained in one area to maintain fitness in another. The cross over can be great for everyone. That said I chose to make running the priority during this period of uncertainty, given its great bang for buck on fitness, consistency, proximity and the pleasure and positive mental boost it gives me over other training sessions. Plus, it was running season, and with a couple of local road races around, it gave me something different to work towards, and to mix things up with the runners in a local triathlete vs runners showdown :)
RT Journals The Workout Series | Rowan Walker My three favourite sessions are a mix of what I’ve done for years. I keep things pretty simple and would often do the first two sessions literally week after week, as I built up to a goal race. The Mona Fartlek Basics of the...
Hi Runnerstribe, I opened my season with a bang! A PB and a Commonwealth Games 'B' qualifier of 52.81 in the 400m. At this point I was very excited about how I was running and was looking forward to a successful season. However for the next few races I struggled to find my...
I was training in Ireland for a few weeks in 2017 before the World Championships. I’d strained my soleus between races so I was getting some physical therapy at Star Goeghan’s Realta Clinic in Carlow. The local track club was so supportive and kind to show me around and...
