A quick thank-you is owed to Runner's Tribe for the opportunity to talk about myself, which is something I try not to make a habit of. Hopefully some perspective into my routine and training proves interesting.
I’m based in North East Melbourne and lucky to be surrounded by trails –...
I've been pretty lazy over the last two weeks, not giving anyone much of an update on myself, but you can all relax. I am alive, training well, and counting down the final days to what should be an enthralling marathon.
It's been pretty good living in the village, with...

When Alice went down the rabbit hole, she had eaten some “magic cakes” before spending time with a smoking caterpillar, chatting with a talking cat, and drinking heavily with some guy in a massive hat surrounded by flamingos. Most of us can only get this kind of experience in...
The 2011 athletics season has finished and it's been an interesting one to say the least. In a season that promised so much at the beginning it was unfortunate that it all unravelled not long after.
After completing a solid training block with the Melbourne Track Club boys in Mt....

BY TYSON POPPLESTONE
Having spent over 10 years as a middle distance runner, Tyson Popplestone has represented Australia at the World University Cross Country Championships (2010) , has a 3000m PR of 8mins 10 seconds, won the 2011 Melbourne Marathon 10km and took out the 2011 Victorian Mile Championships (as seen...
By any measure, 2020 has been an ordinary year. So many of the sporting milestones which punctuate our calendar either went uncelebrated or, when they could proceed, were “celebrated” in eerie silence.
One Australian running tradition was maintained, however. The calendar year ended with a resounding performance at 10,000 metres, for which we must give grateful thanks to Patrick Tiernan.
For the first time in over 50 years, the annual Zatopek 10,000 metres races did not take place. Happily, they will instead be raced in January, 2021. But Tiernan found a December 10,000 race to run, at “The Track Meet”, in San Juan Capistrano, and was able to enjoy his own private celebration after setting an Australian record 27:22.55.
Tiernan finished second to Eric Jenkins of the US, who won in 27:22.06. His time was also an Oceania record. San Juan was formerly a Spanish mission in Capistrano, famous for the annual return of migratory swallows each northern hemisphere spring. Truly, all Tiernan’s swallows came home to roost on 5 December, 2020.
For everyone who doesn’t know me my name is Andre.
My running journey didn’t take off until my early 20’s and I never had the intentions nor vision of seeing myself as to where I am today.
I always had an interest in sport so in the summertime my parents signed...
